*Choral Benediction“Go Now in Peace”
Go now in peace. Never be afraid,
God’s grace bears you up each mile of the way.
Go now in faith, steadfast, strong and true.
May the life of Christ guide all you do.
Go now in love and show you believe.
Reach out to others so all the world can see.
God goes with you, Spirit as a dove,
Go now in peace, in faith and in love.

When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder
When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more, And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair; When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore, And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.
Refrain
When the roll, is called up yon-der, When the roll, is called up yon-der, When the roll, is called up yon-der, When the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there.
On that bright and cloudless morning when the dead in Christ shall rise, And the glory of His resurrection share; When His chosen ones shall gather to their home beyond the skies, And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.
Refrain
Let us labor for the Master from the dawn till setting sun, Let us talk of all His wondrous love and care; Then when all of life is over, and our work on earth is done, And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.

WE APPROACH GOD
Give us A pure heart That we may see Thee, A humble heart that we may hear Thee, A heart of love that we may serve Thee, A heart of faith That we may live Thee.
