• All Things Are Thine

  All things are thine, O Lord:
  we offer thee what we receive from thy hand.

  Blessed art thou, O Lord, Israel’s God, for all ages.
  Thine is the power and glory and splendour.

  Thou art the ruler, Lord, over the earth and the
  heavens, only the hand gives greatness and strengthens.

  Therefore this day, O Lord, praises and thanks
  do we give thee; thy name be blessed
  for ever and ever.

• Come Before The Table

  Come before the table of the Lord of hosts
  with all your lives in your hands.

  Come now, with hope and with gladness,
  friends of the risen Christ, all signed with his name;
  we have heard his word and we know that it’s joyful news.
  Now let us all draw near to share in his food.

  Come then, and bring him your sorrows,
  life is a road clogged with troubles and pain;
  Jesus was man, man who died but Lord who rose again;
  join in his saving meal and hope in his name.
• O God, Thy People Gather

  O God, thy people gather, obedient to thy word,
  around thy holy altar to praise thy name, O Lord;
  for all thy loving kindness our grateful hearts we raise;
  but pardon first the blindness of all our sinful ways.

  Thou art our loving Father, thou art our holiest Lord,
  but we have sinned against thee by thoughts and
  deed and word. Before the court of heaven
  we stand and humbly pray our sins may be
  forgiven, our faults be washed away.

  Though sinful, we implore thee to turn
  and make us live; that so we may adore thee,
  and our due offering give; and the prayers
  and voices of thy glad people rise, as thy whole
  Church rejoices in this great sacrifice.

• Gather The People

  Gather the people! Enter the Feast!
  All are invited, the greatest and least.
  The banquet is ready, now to be shared.
  Join in the heavenly feast that God has prepared.

  Around this table we dine as kin, beloved family
  of God. We share the Body of Christ, the Lord.
  Here we become what we eat.

  Around this table we tell great tales, the wondrous
  stories of grace. We hold the memory of Christ,
  the Lord. So we become what we eat.

  Around this table God’s bounty falls on all who
  hunger and thirst. We drink the fullness of Christ,
  the Lord. So we become what we eat.

• How Lovely Is Your Dwelling Place, O Lord

  How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord.
  What peace and joy to feel so close to you!
  Our heart and soul ring out their joy,
  this morning. We long to meet you,
  God, the living God!

  The sparrow even here has found a shelter
  the shallow by your altars builds a nest.
  O happy those whose dwelling is your temple,
  who day by day your praises sing, O Lord.

  One day within your courts indeed is better,
  than thousand days elsewhere afar from you,
  To wait upon the threshold of your temple,
  is better than to waste our life in vain.
