What Thou Gavest
What thou gavest for the taking,
now as works of human making,
Let us Lord give back to thee,
let us Lord give back to thee.-These our gifts by Christ made royal, Come from hearts contrite and loyal,
Take them, Father, with our love,
take them, Father, with our love.-May this bread and may this wine, then, born of earth be made divine, when,
they become Christ’s sacrifice,
they become Christ’s sacrifice.-
So may foods that quech and nourished
Change to make the Spirit flourish.
Pledge of heaven's feast of joy,
Pledge of heaven's feast of joy.

Two Were Bound For Emmaus
1. Two were bound for Emmaus, disheartened and lost;
all their hope for the future had been nailed to a cross.
Love unknown then walked beside them,
come back from the dead,
and they knew he was risen in the breaking of bread.2. On the Sea of Tiberius, when the night was nearly gone
and their toil seemed so useless, not one fish had they caught,
from the shore the stranger called to them:
“Cast your net, friends, once more.”
And they filled it to bursting, but the net was not torn.3. Then they knew it was Jesus and they hastened in to shore;
bread and fish for their breakfast from the hands of their Lord.
“O Peter, if you love me you must care for my sheep;
if you follow your Shepherd, then a shepherd you’ll be.”4. When the road makes us weary, when our labor seems but loss,
when the fire of faith weakens and too high seems the cost,
let the Church turn to its risen Lord,
who for us bore the cross,
and we’ll find our hearts burning at the sound of his voice.
Our God Reigns
1. How lovely on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, good news, announcing peace, proclaiming news of happiness:
Our God reigns, our God reigns, Our God reigns, our God reigns, Our God reigns, our God reigns.-2. He had no stately form, he had no majesty, that we should be drawn to him.
He was despised and we took no account of him, yet now he reigns with the Most High.
Now he reigns, now he reigns, now he reigns, with the Most High.-3. Out from the tomb he came with grace and majesty; he is alive, he is alive.
God loves us so, see here his hands, his feet, his side.
Yes, we know, he is alive.
He's alive, he's alive, he's alive, he 's alive.
Thank you for singing with us.
Wishing all a Blessed Sunday!
WE bless and thank God for the gift of voice and singing to glorify his name. We would welcome more voices.

Nicene CreedI believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and (bow..) by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come.Amen.--------------------------------
The Apostle's CreedI believe in God,
the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
he descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.Amen.
