People: Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.

Leader: Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.

ALL: Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory! Hosanna in the highest!

Pastoral Prayer & The Lord’s PrayerOur Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be Thy name.Thy Kingdom come, Thy will

be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread, And forgive us our debts

as we forgive our debtors,And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evilFor Thine is the kingdom and the

power and the glory forever. Amen.

Offering Our GiftsThe Holy City Stephen Adams

Last night I lay a-sleepingThere came a dream so fair,I stood in old JerusalemBeside the temple there.I heard the children singing,And ever as they sangI thought the voice of angelsFrom heaven in answer rang.

RefrainJerusalem! Jerusalem!Lift up your voice and sing,Hosanna in the highest!Hosanna to your King!

And then I thought the dream was changed,

The streets no longer rang.

Hushed were the glad Hosannas

The little children sang.The sun grew dark with mystery,The morn was cold and chill,As the shadow of a cross aroseUpon a lonely hill. Refrain

And once again the scene was changed,

New earth there seemed to be.I saw the Holy CityBeside the tideless sea.The light of God was on its streets,The gates were open wide,And all who would might enter,And no one was denied.No need of moon or stars by night,Or sun to shine by day;It was the new JerusalemThat would not pass away. Refrain
