Easter 2 – Holy Communion – 12/4/26
JESUS IS LORD! Creation’s voice proclaims it,
For by His power each tree and flower
Was planned and made.
Jesus is Lord! The universe declares it,
Sun, moon and stars in heaven
Cry, ‘Jesus is Lord!’
Jesus is Lord! Jesus is Lord!
Praise Him with hallelujahs
For Jesus is Lord!
Jesus is Lord! Yet from His throne eternal
In flesh He came to die in pain
On Calvary’s tree.
Jesus is Lord! From Him all life proceeding,
Yet gave His life a ransom
Thus setting us free.
Jesus is Lord! O’er sin the mighty conqueror,
From death He rose, and all His foes
Shall own His name.
Jesus is Lord! God sent His Holy Spirit
To show by works of power
That Jesus is Lord.
David J. Mansell.

ALL HEAVEN DECLARES
The glory of the risen Lord.
Who can compare
With the beauty of the Lord?
Forever He will be
The Lamb upon the throne.
I gladly bow the knee
And worship Him alone.
I will proclaim
The glory of the risen Lord,
Who once was slain
To reconcile man to God.
Forever You will be
The Lamb upon the throne.
I gladly bow the knee
And worship You alone.
Noel and Tricia Richards.

JESUS, STAND AMONG US
At the meeting of our lives.
Be our sweet agreement
At the meeting of our eyes.
O Jesus, we love You, so we gather here.
Join our hearts in unity and take away our fear.
So to You we’re gathering
Out of each and every land.
Christ the love between us
At the joining of our hands.
O Jesus, we love You, so we gather here.
Join our hearts in unity and take away our fear.
(Optional verse for Communion:)
Jesus, stand among us
At the breaking of the bread.
Join us as one body
As we worship You, our Head.
O Jesus, we love You, so we gather here.
Join our hearts in unity and take away our fear.
Graham Kendrick.

PRAISE TO THE HOLIEST IN THE HEIGHT,
And in the depth be praise.
In all His words most wonderful,
Most sure in all His ways.
O loving wisdom of our God!
When all was sin and shame,
A second Adam to the fight
And to the rescue came.
O wisest love! that flesh and blood,
Which did in Adam fail,
Should strive afresh against the foe,
Should strive and should prevail.
And that a higher gift than grace
Should flesh and blood refine,
God’s presence and His very self,
And essence all-divine.
O generous love! that He, who smote
In Man for man the foe,
The double agony in Man
For man should undergo.
And in the garden secretly,
And on the cross on high,
Should teach His brethren, and inspire
To suffer and to die.
Praise to the Holiest in the height,
And to the depth be praise.
In all His words most wonderful,
Most sure in all His ways.
John H. Newman.
