United Methodist ChurchAlive with the Heart, Mind, and Hands of Jesus Christ

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and

let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us.Hebrews 12:1

†Call to WorShiP

Sung Response arr. S. C. Toe (b. 1989)

MinisterI declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God,

nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.

Congregation:For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

Sung Response

MinisterFor the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has

been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true:Congregation

“Death has been swallowed up in victory.”

Sung Response

Minister“Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin,

and the power of sin is the law.Congregation

But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Sung Response

MinisterTherefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully

to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.Congregation:

Amen!

Death shall not destroy my comfort, Christ shall guide me thro’ the gloom;Down he’ll send some heav’nly convoy, to escort my spirit home.

Oh, hallelujah! How I love my savior, Oh, hallelujah! That I do;Oh, hallelujah! How I love my Savior! Mourners, you may love him too.Jordan’s stream shall not o’er flow me, while my Savior’s by my side;

Canaan, Canaan! Lies before me! Soon I’ll cross the swelling tide. Oh, hallelujah! How I love my savior, Oh, hallelujah! That I do;

Oh, hallelujah! How I love my Savior! Mourners, you may love him too.

See the happy spirits waiting, on the banks beyond the stream!Sweet responses still repeating, “Jesus! Jesus!” is their theme.Oh, hallelujah! How I love my savior, Oh, hallelujah! That I do;

Oh, hallelujah! How I love my Savior! Mourners, you may love him too.

Oh, hallelujah! How I love my savior, Oh, hallelujah! That I do;Oh, hallelujah! How I love my Savior! Mourners, you may love him too.
