MATTHEW 26:30 AND WHEN THEY HAD SUNG A HYMN …
Everyone join together and sing a verse of Silent Night.
Silent night, holy night All is calm, all is bright Round yon Virgin Mother and Child Holy Infant so tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night Son of God, love's pure light Radiant beams from Thy holy face With the dawn of redeeming grace Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.
Away in a manger, No crib for a bed The little Lord Jesus Lay down His sweet head. The stars in the sky Looked down where He lay The little Lord Jesus Asleep on the hay.
Joy to the World, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room, And Heaven and nature sing, And Heaven and nature sing, And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.
He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness, And wonders of His love, And wonders of His love, And wonders, and wonders, of His love.
Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, Born this happy morning, Jesus! To Thee be all glory given. Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing; O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
MATTHEW 26:30 AND WHEN THEY HAD SUNG A HYMN …
There is a fountain filled with blood, Drawn from Immanuel’s veins, And sinners plunged beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains. Lose all their guilty stains. Lose all their guilty stains. And sinners plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains.
The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day. And there may I, though vile as he, Wash all my sins away. Wash all my sins away. Wash all my sins away. And there may I, though vile as he, Wash all my sins away.
MATTHEW 26:30 AND WHEN THEY HAD SUNG A HYMN THEY WENT OUT.
CONCLUSION LEAVE IN REVERENCE. WAIT TO SPEAK UNTIL ALL HAVE LEFT THE SANCTUARY.
