My
Hope Is Built
verses 1 & 3
My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’
blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean
on Jesus’ name.
Refrain
On Christ the sold rock I stand, all other ground is
sinking sand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
His oath, his covenant, his blood support
me in the whelming flood.
When all around my soul gives way, he then is all my
hope and stay.

Let Us Be Bread
Refrain
Let us be bread, blessed
by the Lord, broken and shared, life for the world.
Let us be wine, love freely
poured. Let us be one in the Lord
I am the bread of life, broken for all.
Eat now and hunger no
more.
You
are my friends if you keep my commands,
No longer servants but friends.
Refrain
See how my people have nothing to eat.
Give them the bread that
is you.
As God has loved me so I have loved you.
Go
and live on in my love.

The Apostles’ Creed, Traditional
Version
I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord:
Who
was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius
Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried;
The third day he rose from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
And sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty:
From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church,
The
communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
* Gloria Patri...............................................................................................................

World
without end. Amen. Amen.
