Plan now to attend Maundy Thursday Service on April 1st at 7 p.m. Wonderful music & readings depicting the last three days of Jesus earthly life leading to the Glory of our Lord’s Resurrection! “All Glory, Laud and Honor” All glory, laud and honor To Thee, Redeemer, King, To whom the lips of children Made sweet hosannas ring: Thou are the King of Israel, Thou David’s royal Son, Who in the Lord’s name com-est, The King, and blessed One!
To Thee, before Thy passion, They sang their hymns of praise; To Thee, now high exalted, Our melody we raise: Thou didst accept their praises—Accept the praise we bring, Who in all good de-light-est, Thou good and gracious King! Amen
The Old Rugged Cross” On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, The emblem of suffering and shame; And I love that old cross where the dearest and best For a world of lost sinners was slain. So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, And exchange it someday for a crown. To the old rugged cross I will ever be true, Its shame and reproach gladly bear; Then He’ll call me someday to my home far away, Where His glory forever I’ll share, So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, And exchange it someday for a crown.
‘Hosanna, Loud Hosanna” Ho-san-na, loud ho-san-na The little children sang; Through pillared court and temple The lovely anthem rang; To Jesus, who had blessed them Close folded to His breast, The children sang their praises, The sim-plest and the best. “Ho-san-na in the highest!” That ancient song we sing For Christ is our Redeemer, The Lord of heav’n, our King; O may we ever praise Him With heart and life and voice, And in His bliss-ful presence, E-ter-nal-ly rejoice! ------------------------------------------------------------------------
