Palms, Passion and Pain

Welcome (based on Psalm 118:1-2, 19-29) Praise the Lord, for Christ is our salvation! Christ provides the foundation for our hope! God has created this moment let us give thanks and rejoice! The steadfast love of God is never-ending! Together, let us worship the Lord! 367 Hosanna, loud hosanna 1 Hosanna, loud hosanna, the little children sang ; through city street and temple their joyful welcome rang. They shouted out their praises to Christ, the childrens friend, who welcomes all with blessing, whose love will never end. 2 From Olivet they followed, a large exultant crowd, the victor palm branch waving, and chanting clear and loud ; bright angels joined the chorus, beyond the cloudless sky, Hosanna in the highest ! Glory to God on high !

Hosanna in the highest ! That ancient song we sing, for Christ is our Redeemer, the Lord of heaven our King. Oh, may we ever praise him with heart and life and voice, and in his living presence eternally rejoice. Jennette Threlfall (18211880)(alt.) 3

Prayer and Lords Prayer Our father in Heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us form evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and for ever Amen Gospel Reading 1 - Matthew 21:1-1 Talk for the Family

365 Ride on ! ride on in majesty ! 1 Ride on ! ride on in majesty ! Hark ! all the tribes Hosanna ! cry ; O Saviour meek, pursue thy road with palms and scattered garments strowed. 2 Ride on ! ride on in majesty ! In lowly pomp ride on to die ; O Christ, thy triumphs now begin oer captive death and conquered sin. 3 Ride on ! ride on in majesty ! The wingd squadrons of the sky look down with sad and wondering eyes to see the approaching sacrifice.

Ride on ! ride on in majesty ! Thy last and fiercest strife is nigh ; the Father on his sapphire throne awaits his own anointed Son. Ride on ! ride on in majesty ! In lowly pomp ride on to die ; bow thy meek head to mortal pain, then take, O God, thy power, and reign. Henry Hart Milman (17911868)

Prayer Talk 2 The events of the final week 364 All glory, laud, and honour Gloria, laus et honor All glory, laud, and honour, to you, Redeemer, King, to whom the lips of children made sweet hosannas ring ! 1 You are the King of Israel, great Davids royal Son, now in the Lords name coming, the King and Blessd One. 2 The company of angels is praising you on high, while we and all creation together make reply. 3 The people of the Hebrews with palms before you went ; our praise and prayer and anthems before you we present. 4 To you before your Passion they sang their hymns of praise ; to you, now high exalted, our melody we raise. 5 Their praises you accepted ; accept the prayers we bring, in every good delighting, our great and gracious King : St Theodulph of Orleans (d. 821) translated John Mason Neale (18181866)(alt.) Gospel Reading 2 - Matthew 27: 33- 54 Sermon

Offering 807 Praise God Praise God, from whom all blessings flow ; praise him, all creatures here below ; praise him above, ye heavenly host ; praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Thomas Ken (16371711) Prayers 392 When I survey the wondrous cross 1 When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of Glory died, my richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ, my God ; all the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his blood.

See ! from his head, his hands, his feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down ; did eer such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown ? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were an offering far too small ; love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.
