OPENING HYMN | UMH 145 Morning Has Broken
Morning has broken like the first morning;
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird.
Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning!
Praise for them, springing fresh from the Word!
Sweet the rain's new fall sunlit from heaven,
Like the first dewfall on the first grass.
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden,
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass.
Mine is the sunlight! Mine is the morning
Born of the one light Eden saw play!
Praise with elation, praise every morning,
God's recreation of the new day!
MORNING PRAYER

MORNING MEDITATION

SONG OF RESPONSE | UMH 261 Lord of the Dance
I danced in the morning when the world was begun,
and I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun,
And I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth.
At Bethlehem I had my birth.
(Refrain) Dance, then, wherever you may be;
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he.
And I'll lead you all wherever you may be;
And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he.
I danced for the scribe and the Pharisee,
but they would not dance and they would not follow me;
They danced for the fishermen, for James and John;
They came to me and the dance went on.
(Refrain)
I danced on a sabbath and I cured the lame,
The holy people said it was a shame;
They whipped and they stripped and they hung me high;
And they left me there on a cross to die.
(Refrain)
I danced on a Friday and the sky turned black;
It's hard to dance with the devil on your back;
They buried my body and they thought I'd gone,
But I am the dance and I still go on.
(Refrain)
They cut me down and I leapt up high.
I am the life that'll never, never die;
I'll live in you if you'll live in me;
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he.
(Refrain)
HOLY COMMUNION
CLOSING SONG | UMH 133 Leaning on the Everlasting Arms
What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
(Refrain):
Leaning (leaning on Jesus), leaning,
Safe and secure from all alarms,
Leaning (leaning on Jesus), leaning,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
O how sweet the walk in the pilgrim way,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
O how bright the path grows from day to day,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
(Refrain)
What have I to dread, what I to dread,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
(Refrain)
