OPENING HYMN
(Please stand as you’re able)
When Morning Gilds the Skies
When morning gilds the skies,
my heart, awaking, cries,
may Jesus Christ be praised!
When evening shadows fall,
this rings my curfew call,
may Jesus Christ be praised!
When mirth for music longs,
this is my song of songs:
may Jesus Christ be praised!
God’s holy house of prayer
hath none that can compare
with: Jesus Christ be praised!
No lovelier antiphon
in all high heav’n is known
than, Jesus Christ be praised!
There to the eternal Word
the eternal psalm is heard:
may Jesus Christ be praised!
Ye nations of mankind,
in this your concord find:
may Jesus Christ be praised!
Let all the earth around
ring joyous with the sound:
may Jesus Christ be praised!
Sing, suns and stars of space,
sing, ye that see his face,
sing, Jesus Christ be praised!
God’s whole creation o’er,
both now and evermore
shall Jesus Christ be
praised!

THE NICENE CREED
(Please stand as you’re able)
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, visible and invisible.
We believe in one Lord, ↓ Jesus Christ, ↑ the only-begotten Son of God, eternally be-gotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation ↓ he came down from heaven, was incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. ↑ On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son ↓ is worshiped and glorified, ↑ who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins. † We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.

A PRAYER FOR SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
(For those who are watching online)
Dear Jesus, I believe that you are truly present in the Holy Sacrament. I love you above all things, and I desire to possess you within my soul. And since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, I beseech you to come spiritually into my heart. I unite myself to you, together with all your faithful people gathered around every altar of your Church, and I embrace you with all the affections of my soul. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.
COMMUNION HYMN
From All the Wind’s Wide Quarters
From all the wind’s wide quarters
come, see the feast is spread,
of soul-sustaining waters,
of true and living bread,
of sorrows long-departed,
and joys beyond compare:
come, poor and humble-hearted,
the feast of life to share!
With mercy all-prevailing
God bids the wanderer come;
in grace and peace unfailing
he calls his children home;
with loving-kindness tender
he frees us from our sins:
in glory and in splendor
the feast of life begins!
Come, claim the promise spoken!
God’s purpose stands secure.
His fruitful word unbroken
shall evermore endure.
All ancient bondage ended
to sin’s corrupting powers:
forgivèn, freed, befriended,
the feast of life is ours!

COMMUNION HYMN
Be Thou My Vision
Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
all else be nought to me, save that thou art;
thou my best thöught, by day or by night,
waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.
Be thou my wisdom, and thou my true word;
I ever with thee, and thou with me, Lord;
thou my great Father, thine own may I be,
thou in me dwelling, and I one with thee.
Be thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight;
be thou my dignity, thou my delight,
thou my soul’s shëlter, thou my high tow’r:
raise thou me heav’n-ward, O Pow’r of my pow’r.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
thou mine inheritance, now and always;
thou, and thou önly, first in my heart,
High King of Heavèn, my treasure thou art.
High King of Heavèn, when vict’ry is won,
may I reach heavèn’s joys, bright heavèn’s Sun!
Heart of my hëart, whatever befall,
still be my vision, O Ruler of all.

COMMUNION SONG
Psalm 139 Refrain
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia,
COMMUNION SONG
The Solid Rock
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name
Chorus
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is a sinking sand
When darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all, my hope and stay.
When He shall come with trumpet sound
Oh may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne
