"Surely the Presence of the Lord Is in This Place"
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place;
I can feel his mighty power and his grace.
I can hear the brush of angel’s wings,
I see glory on each face;
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place.

"Easter People, Raise Your Voices"
All verses
1. Easter people, raise your voices
sounds of heaven in earth should ring.
Christ has brought us heaven's choices;
heavenly music, let it ring.
Alleluia! Alleulia!
Easter people let us sing.
2. Fear of death can no more stop us
From our pressing here below
For our Lord empowered us
To triumph over every foe
Alleluia! Alleluia!
On to victory now we go
3. Every day to us is Easter
With its resurrection song
When in trouble move the faster
to our God who rights the wrong
Alleluia! Alleluia!
See the power of heavenly throngs.
Opening Prayer
Risen Christ, You meet us not only in wonder, but in the quiet rhythms of our ordinary lives. By the shoreline of our days, You call us, feed us, and draw us near. As we gather, open our eyes to Your presence in the simple and the familiar, that we may receive Your grace in every moment. Amen.

"Sent Forth by God's Blessing"
All verses
1. Sent forth by God’s blessing,
our true faith confessing,
thy people of God
from this dwelling take leave.
The service is ended,
O now be extended
the fruits of our worship
in all who believe.
The seed of the teaching,
receptive souls reaching,
shall blossom in action
for God and for all.
God’s grace did invite us,
and love shall unite us
to work for God’s kingdom
and answer the call.
2. With praise and thanksgiving
to God ever living,
the tasks of our everyday
life we will face.
Our faith ever sharing,
in love ever caring,
embracing God’s children
of each tribe and race.
With your grace you feed us,
with your light now lead us;
unite us as one in this
life that we share.
Then may all the living
with praise and thanksgiving
give honor to Christ
and that name which we bear.
