[Refrain] Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art. Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art! And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing; Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin. (refrain) When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation, And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart. Then I shall bow, in humble adoration, And then proclaim: “My God, how great Thou art!” (refrain) PRAYER OF THE DAY: Holy God, source of all love, on the night of his betrayal, Jesus gave us a new commandment, to love one another as he loves us. Write this commandment in our hearts, and give us the will to serve others as he was the servant of all, your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. EXODUS 12: 1-14 (click the link below) https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/... PSALM 116: 1-2, 12-19 1 I love the Lord, who has heard my voice, and listened to my supplication, 2 for the Lord has given ear to me whenever I called. 12 How shall I repay the Lord for all the good things God has done for me? 13 I will lift the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord. 14 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all God’s people. 15 Precious in your sight, O Lord, is the death of your servants. 16 O Lord, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, the child of your handmaid; you have freed me from my bonds. 17 I will offer you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call upon the name of the Lord. 18 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all God’s people, 19 in the courts of the Lord’s house, in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. 1 CORINTHIANS 11: 23-26 (click the link below) https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/... GOSPEL ACCLAMATION: I cast all my cares upon you; I lay all of my burdens down at your feet. And anytime that I don't know what to do, I will cast all my cares upon you. (repeat) MARK 14: 12-26 (click the link below) https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/... O SACRED HEAD, NOW WOUNDED: O sacred head, now wounded, with grief and shame weighed down, Now scornfully surrounded with thorns, thine only crown; O sacred head, what glory, what bliss till now was thine! Yet, thou despised and gory, I joy to call thee mine. How pale thou art with anguish, with sore abuse and scorn; How does thy face now languish, which once was bright as morn! Thy grief and bitter passion were all for sinners’ gain; Mine, mine was the transgression, but thine the deadly pain. What language shall I borrow to thank thee, dearest friend, For this thy dying sorrow, thy pity without end? Oh, make me thine forever, and should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never outlive my love to thee. Lord, be my consolation; shield me when I must die; Remind me of thy passion when my last hours draws night. These eyes, new faith receiving, from thee shall never move; For all who die believing die safely in thy love. NICENE CREED (click the link below) https://download.elca.org/ELCA%20Reso... HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD: The splendor of the King, clothed in majesty; Let all the earth rejoice, all the earth rejoice. He wraps Himself in light, and darkness tries to hide, And trembles at His voice, and trembles at His voice. How great is our God! Sing with me: How great is our God! And all will see how great, how great is our God! And age to age He stands, and time is in His hands; Beginning and the end, beginning and the end. The Godhead, three in one, Father, Spirit, Son, The lion and the lamb, the lion and the lamb. How great is our God! Sing with me: How great is our God! And all will see how great, how great is our God! How great is our God! (Name above all names.) Sing with me: How great is our God! (You are worthy of all praise.) And all will see how great, how great is our God! (And my heart will sing: How great is our God!) How great, how great is our God!
