Holy God, We Praise Thy Name (Franz and Walworth)
Holy God, we praise thy name.
God of all, we bow before Thee.
All on earth Your scepter claim;
all in heav’n above adore Thee.
Infinite Thy vast domain,
everlasting is Thy reign.
Hark, the loud celestial hymn,
angel choirs above are raising.
Cherubim and seraphim,
in unceasing chorus praising,
fill the heav’ns with sweet accord:
Holy, holy, holy Lord.
Lo! the apostolic train
join thy sacred name to hallow.
Prophets swell the glad refrain,
and the blessed martyrs follow,
and, from morn till set of sun,
through the church the song goes on.
Holy Author, Holy Word,
Holy Spirit, three we name thee;
still, one holy voice is heard:
undivided God, we claim Thee,
and adoring bend the knee,
while we own the mystery.

Let There Be Peace on Earth (Jackson and Miller)
Let there be Peace on earth and let it begin with me;
Let there be Peace on earth, the peace that was meant to be.
With God as our Father, family all are we,
Let us walk with each other, in perfect harmony.
Let Peace begin with me, Let this be the moment now;
With every step I take, Let this be my solemn vow:
To take each moment and live each moment,
In Peace eternally.
Let there be Peace on Earth
And let it begin with me.

Sing A New Song (by Dan Schutte)
Sing a new song unto the Lord, let your song be sung from mountains high. Sing a new song unto the Lord, singing alleluia
Shout with gladness! Dance for joy! O come before the Lord. And play for him on glad tambourines, and let your trumpet sound. (refrain)
Rise, o children, from your sleep; your savior now has come. He has turned your sorrow to joy and filled your soul with song (refrain)
Glad my soul for I have seen the glory of the Lord. The trumpet sounds, the dead shall be raised. I know my Savior lives. (refrain)
Royal Fireworks Music: The Rejoicing (Handel)
Instrumental
Now THank We All Our God
Now thank we all our God, With hearts and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things hath done, In whom His world rejoices;
Who from our mother’s arms Hath blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love, And still is ours to-day.
O may this bounteous God Through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts And blessed peace to cheer us;
And keep us in his grace, And guide us when perplexed,
And free us from all ills In this world and the next.
All praise and thanks to God The Father now be given,
The son, and him who reigns, With them in highest heaven,
The one eternal God, Whom earth and heaven adore;
For thus it was, is now, And shall be evermore.
City of God (by Dan Schutte)
Awake from your slumber! Arise from your sleep!
A new day is dawning for all those who weep.
The people in darkness have seen a great light.
The Lord of our longing has conquered the night.
Refrain: Let us build the city of God.
May our tears be turned into dancing!
For the Lord, our light and our love,
has turned the night into day!
We are sons of the morning; we are daughters of day.
The One who has loved us has brightened our way.
The Lord of all kindness has called us to be
a light for his people to set their hearts free. (Refrain)
God is light; in him there is no darkness.
Let us walk in his light, his children, one and all.
O comfort my people; make gentle your words.
Proclaim to my city the day of her birth. (Refrain)
O city of gladness, now lift up your voice.
Proclaim the good tidings that all may rejoice! (Refrain)
We Gather Together
We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing: He hastens and chastens His will to make known; The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing: Sing praises to his name; he forgets not his own
Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining, Whose kingdom calls all to the love which endures. So from the beginning the fight we were winning: You, Lord, were at our side; all glory be yours
We all do extol you, our leader triumphant, and pray that you still our defender will be. Let your congregation escape tribulation : your name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free

Love Has Come (Matt Maher)
With one voice, the Angels sing
Songs that make creation ring
Prophets hear and call us
To live in spirit and in truth
Refrain: Word of God enthroned
Dwell in us forevermore
Love has come to show the way
Hallelujah, peace be with us
Love has come to show the way
God the Father, Elohim
Voice of thunder, spirit wind
Breathe on me your very life
Grace will make the darkness bright (Refrain)
God of covenant divine
Lead us to the end of time
Beyond sorrow, beyond fear
Beyond pride and earthen tears (Refrain)
