The Greatest Commandment
Prelude

We Gather Together UMH 131
Dutch Melody KREMSER 
​
We gather together to
ask the Lord's blessing;
He chastens and hastens
his will to make known.
The wicked oppressing
now cease from distressing.
Sing praises to his name;
he forgets not his own.

This Little Light of Mine
​
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!
Prayer

Three Things We Pray
Thanks be to thee, O Lord Jesus Christ, for all the benefits which thou 
hast given us; for all the pains and insults which thou hast borne for us. 
O most merciful Redeemer, friend, and brother, may we know thee more 
clearly, love thee more dearly, and follow thee more nearly, 
for thine own sake. 
Amen

Richard of Chichester England 13th century

​Scripture
Matthew 22: 34-40 NIV
The Greatest Commandment

34 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’  40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Come Thou Fount   arr. by Mark Hayes
​
​Come, Thou Fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount, I'm fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love

Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross
Fanny J. Crosby
​
Jesus, keep me near the Cross;
There a precious fountain,
Free to all, a healing stream,
Flows from Calvary's mountain.

In the cross, in the cross, be my glory ever, till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river. 

Near the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me;
There the bright and morning star
sheds its beams around me.
