Opening Hymn : All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name VU334
All hail the power of Jesus’ name, Let angels prostrate fall,
Bring forth the royal diadem and crown him,
crown him, crown him, crown him Lord of all
O seed of Israel’s chosen race, now ransomed from the fall,
Hail him who saves you by his grace and crown him,
crown him, crown him, crown him Lord of all
Crown him, you martyrs of your God, who from his alter call,
Praise him whose way of pain you trod and crown him
crown him, crown him, crown him Lord of all
Let every tongue and every tribe, responsive to the call,
To him all majesty ascribe and crown him.
crown him, crown him, crown him Lord of all
O that, with all the sacred throng, we at his feet may fall,
Join in the everlasting song and crown him,
crown him, crown him, crown him Lord of all

Parting Hymn: In Christ There Is No East or West VU606
In Christ there is no east or west, in him no south or north,
But one great family of love, through out the whole wide earth.
In him shall true hearts everywhere their high communion find,
His service in the golden cord close finding human kind.
Join hands, then, people of the faith, what-e’re your race may be,
All children of the living God are surely kin to me.
In Christ now meet both east and west, in him meet south and north,
All Christ-like souls are one in him throuout the whole wide earth.
