Gathering Hymn (#392) “Alleluia! Sing to Jesus” v. 1-4
VERSE 1 Alleluia! Sing to Jesus; his the scepter, his the throne; Alleluia! his the triumph, his the victory alone. Hark! The songs of peaceful Zion thunder like a mighty flood: "Jesus out of ev'ry nation has redeemed us by his blood."

VERSE 2 Alleluia! Not as orphans are we left in sorrow now; Alleluia! he is near us; faith believes, nor questions how. Though the cloud from sight received him when the forty days were o'er, shall our hearts forget his promise: "I am with you evermore"?

VERSE 3 Alleluia! Bread of heaven, here on earth our food, our stay; Alleluia! here the sinful flee to you from day to day. Intercessor, friend of sinners, earth's redeemer, hear our plea where the songs of all the sinless sweep across the crystal sea.

VERSE 4 Alleluia! King eternal, Lord omnipotent we own; Alleluia! born of Mary, earth your footstool, heav'n your throne. As within the veil you entered, robed in flesh, our great high priest, here on earth both priest and victim in the eucharistic feast.

Reading: Acts 1:6-14 6When [the apostles] had come together, they asked [Jesus], “Lord, is this the time when you will restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7He replied, “It is not for you to know the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority.

Reading: Acts 1:6-14 8But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” 9When he had said this, as they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. 10While he was going and they were gazing up toward heaven, suddenly two men in white robes stood by them.

Reading: Acts 1:6-14 11They said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up toward heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.” 12Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath day’s journey away.

Reading: Acts 1:6-14 13When they had entered the city, they went to the room upstairs where they were staying, Peter, and John, and James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. 14All these were constantly devoting themselves to prayer, together with certain women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, as well as his brothers.

Psalm Psalm 68:1-10; 32-35 1Let God arise, and let God’s enemies be scattered; let those who hate God flee. 2As smoke is driven away, so you should drive them away; as the wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. 3But let the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; let them also be merry and joyful. 4Sing to God, sing praises to God’s name; exalt the one who rides the clouds; I Am is that name, rejoice before God!

Psalm Psalm 68:1-10; 32-35 5In your holy habitation, O God, you are a father to orphans, defender of widows; 6you give the solitary a home and bring forth prisoners into freedom; but the rebels shall live in desert places. 7O God, when you went forth before your people, when you marched through the wilderness, 8the earth quaked, and the skies poured down rain, at the presence of God, the God of Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

Psalm Psalm 68:1-10; 32-35 9You sent a bountiful rain, O God; you restored your inheritance when it languished. 10Your people found their home in it; in your goodness, O God, you have made provision for the poor.

Psalm Psalm 68:1-10; 32-35 32Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth; sing praises to the Lord. 33You ride in the heavens, O God, in the ancient heavens; you send forth your voice, your mighty voice. 34Ascribe power to God, whose majesty is over Israel; whose strength is in the skies. 35How wonderful you are in your holy places, O God of Israel, giving strength and power to your people! Blessed be God!

Sending Song (#855) “Crown Him with Many Crowns” v. 1, 3-5
VERSE 1 Crown him with many crowns, the Lamb upon his throne; hark, how the heav'nly anthem drowns all music but its own. Awake, my soul, and sing of him who died for thee, and hail him as thy matchless king through all eternity.

VERSE 3 Crown him the Lord of love-- behold his hands and side, rich wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified. No angels in the sky can fully bear that sight, but downward bend their burning eyes at mysteries so bright.

VERSE 4 Crown him the Lord of life, who triumphed o'er the grave and rose victorious in the strife for those he came to save. His glories now we sing, who died and rose on high, who died, eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die.

VERSE 5 Crown him the Lord of years, the potentate of time, creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime. All hail, Redeemer, hail! For thou hast died for me; thy praise and glory shall not fail throughout eternity.
