Anthem
All Things New
(Elaine Hagenberg)
Sanctuary Choir
Light after darkness, gain after loss,
Strength after weakness, crown after cross;
Sweet after bitter, hope after fears,
Home after wandering, praise after tears.
Alpha and Omega, beginning and the end,
He is making all things new.
Springs of living water shall wash away each tear,
He is making all things new.
Sight after mystery, sun after rain,
Joy after sorrow, peace after pain;
Near after distant, gleam after gloom,
Love after loneliness, life after tomb.
(After the anthem, children 2nd grade and younger are invited to the organ side to leave for Little Church with Miss Alyssa.)

The Gospel of Grace
(arr. Mark Hayes)
Finley Walton, soloist
Carla Brown, piano
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind but now I see.
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
I found free grace and dying love,
I’m new born again,
Been a long time a-talkin’ ‘bout
My trials here below.
Free grace, free grace, free grace, sinner,
Free grace, free grace, I’m new born again.
So glad, so glad I’m new born again,
Been a long time a-talkin’ ‘bout
My trials here below.
My Savior died for you and me,
I’m new born again,
Been a long time a-talkin’ ‘bout
My trials here below.
I know my Lord has set me free,
I’m new born again,
Been a long time a-talkin’ ‘bout
My trials here below.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’ve first begun!
Doxology (OLD HUNDREDTH)
Praise God from whom all blessings flow, Praise Him all creatures here below, Praise Him above ye heavenly host, Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
