Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming! -Mark 11.9-10

Processional Hymn:  378 Crown Him with Many Crowns

Crown him with many crowns,
the Lamb upon his throne.
Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns
all music but its own.
Awake, my soul, and sing
of him who died for thee,
and hail him as thy matchless king
through all eternity.

Crown him the Lord of life,
who triumphed o'er the grave,
and rose victorious in the strife
for those he came to save;
his glories now we sing
who died and rose on high,
who died eternal life to bring,
and lives that death may die.

Crown him the Lord of peace,
whose power a sceptre sways,
from pole to pole, that wars may cease,
absorbed in prayer and praise.
His reign shall know no end;
and round his pierced feet
flair flowers of paradise extend
their fragrance ever sweet.

Crown him the Lord of love;
behold his hands and side,
rich wounds, yet visible above,
in beauty glorified;
All hail, Redeemer, hail!
for thou hast died for me;
thy praise shall never, never fail
throughout eternity.

Gradual Hymn:  383 Jesus Shall Reign Where’re the Sun (vs. 1&2)

Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
doth its successive journeys run,
his kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
till moons shall wax and wane no more.

People and realms of every tongue
dwell on his love with sweetest song,
and infant voices shall proclaim
their early blessings on his name.

The Gospel:    JOHN 18:33-37

Gradual Hymn:  383 Jesus Shall Reign Where’re the Sun (vs. 3&4)

Blessings abound where'er he reigns:
the prisoners leap to lose their chains,
the weary find eternal rest,
and all who suffer want are blest.

Let every creature rise and bring
the highest honours to our King,
angels descend with songs again,
and earth repeat the loud Amen.

Offertory Hymn:  375  At the Name of Jesus

At the name of Jesus ev'ry knee shall bow,
ev'ry tongue confess him King of glory now.
'Tis his Father's pleasure we should call him Lord,
who from the beginning was the mighty Word.

Humbled for a season to receive a name
from the lips of sinners unto whom he came,
faithfully he bore it spotless to the last,
brought it back victorious, when from death he passed.

Name him, christians, name him,
with live strong as death,
but with awe and wonder, and with bated breath;
his is god the Saviour, he is Christ the Lord,
ever to be worshipped, trusted, and adored.

In your hearts enthrone him; there let him subdue
all that is not holy, all that is not true;
crown him as your Saviour in temptation's hour:
let his will enfold you in its light and pow'r.

Christians, this Lord Jesus shall return again,
with his Father's glory, with his angel train;
for all wreaths of empire meet upon his brow,
and our hearts confess him King of glory now.

Prayer over the Gifts: Gracious God, we offer these gifts to you, signs of your goodness and mercy. Receive them with our gratitude, that through the ministry of your Church, the work of Christ's kingdom may be proclaimed and celebrated. May these offerings bring blessing to many, and honor to your name. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen

¬The Communion  (all are welcome to receive communion, or to 
come up to the altar for a blessing)

Communion Hymn:  48 Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence

and with fear and trembling stand.
Ponder nothing earthly minded,
for with blessing in his hand
Christ our God to us approacheth,
our full homage to demand.

King of kings, yet born of Mary,
as of old on earth he stood,
Lord of lords, in human vesture,
in the body and the blood,
he will give to all the faithful
his own self for heav’nly food.

Rank on rank the host of heaven
spreads it vanguard on the way,
as the Light of light descendeth
from the realms of endless day
that pow’rs of hell may vanish,
as the darkness clears away.

At his feet the six-winged seraph,
cherubim with sleepless eye,
veil their faces to the Presence,
as with ceaseless voice they cry,
“Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia, Lord Most High!”

Prayer after Communion:  Lord Jesus Christ, you have graciously fed us with your body and blood. Strengthen us through this sacrament in faith toward you and in fervent love toward one another. May this holy meal inspire us to live as your faithful followers, proclaiming your kingdom of justice and peace. You reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen

Doxology (Old 100th): Praise God from whom all blessings flow! Praise him all creatures here below! Praise him above ye heavenly hosts! Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost! Amen

The Blessing

Closing Hymn:  602 Lift High the Cross  

Refrain
Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaims
till all the word adore his sacred name!

Come, Christian people, sing your praises, shout!
If we are silent, even stones cry out. R

Jesus, you wept to see our human strife:
teach us compassion for each human life. R

Peace was yo8ur plea, and peace your loving theme:
let peace be our passport, peace a living dream. R

Great is the cost of walking on this road,
to follow and suffer with the Son of God.  R

Worlds to be born and children yet to be,
come, take up this song into eternity. R
