About Today’s Music Processional Hymn Praise to the Lord (Sing as directed)

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!

O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation! All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near,

join me in glad adoration!

Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore Him! All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him!

Let the Amen sound from His people again: gladly forever adore Him!

Offertory Faith

Music: Felix Mendelssohn

Arranged by N. M. Lacacski Adapted by David Bottom

Anthem Cantique de Jean Racine (O Redeemer Divine)

Words: English text by Harold Heiberg

Music: Gabriel Faure

O Redeemer divine, our sole hope of salvation, Eternal Light of the earth and sky,

on this Thy holy day we kneel in adoration, O Savior turn on us Thy loving eye.

Send down on us the fire of Thy grace all consuming, Whose wondrous might dispersed the powers of hell,

and rouse our slumbering souls with radiance all consuming, that they may waken Thy mercy to tell.

O Christ bestow Thy blessing on us, we implore Thee,

Who here are gathered on penitent knee, accept the hymns we chant to Thine everlasting glory

and these Thy gifts we return unto Thee.

Road to Recovery Transportation is key to cancer care. That’s why the American Cancer Society Road To Recovery program provides patients with free rides. Our volunteers have driven hundreds of thousands of patients to their cancer care, but the need continues to grow. Every driver has what it takes to help us save lives. As a leader in your community, you are positioned to inspire others to join us. Please, help us spread the word that something as simple as offering a ride can help save a life. Share the Road To Recovery program! To become a volunteer driver, all you need is:

• A good driving record

• A current, valid driver’s license

• Complete an American Cancer Society training course

• Access to a safe and reliable vehicle

• Proof of adequate automobile insurance To volunteer in your community or for more information, visit cancer.org/drive or

call 800.227.2345.
