11. Come, Thou Fount of Ev’ry Blessing
Words: Robert Robinson. Music: NETTLETON. Public domain.

12. Come, Thou fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise.

13. Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it, Mount of Thy redeeming love.

14. Here I raise mine Ebenezer; Hither by Thy help I’m come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure, Safely to arrive at home.

15. Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wandering from the fold of God;
He to rescue me from danger, Interposed His precious blood.

16. Oh, to grace how great a debtor Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to Thee.

17. Prone to wander, Lord I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O, take and seal it, Seal it for Thy courts above.

18. Blessed Assurance
Words: Fanny Crosby. Tune: ASSURANCE Phoebe Palmer Knapp. Public domain.

19. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God, Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

20. This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long;

21. Perfect submission, perfect delight, Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels, descending, bring from above Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

22. This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long;

23. Perfect submission, all is at rest, I in my Savior am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above, Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

24. This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long;

26. ONE: “We assemble because the future is in our hands!
ALL: “We assemble because we must.”

27. ONE: “We assemble because we are connected to the story of Mary!”
ALL: “We assemble because we must.”

28. ONE: “We assemble because we are sisters, connected and committed to the work of Christ!
ALL: “We assemble because we must.”

29. ONE: “We assemble because though our voices are unique and diverse, they sing the same song of justice and power of bold for many years to come!”
ALL: “We assemble because we must.”

30. ONE: “We assemble because we are a light unto those who seek to find God’s face, illuminating the path toward a faith-filled life in community.”
ALL: “We assemble because we must.”

31. ONE: “We assemble because the Table is set before us, for us to partake in the sacredness that is the body and blood of Jesus Christ, a privilege we cherish.”
ALL: “We assemble because we must.”

32. ONE: “We assemble because future generations will experience God’s glory because of the work we’ve done the last 150 years!”
ALL: “We assemble because we must.”

For all will call me blessed.

And destroy the might of princes.

And holy is Your name.

of the people You have chosen.

And holy is Your name.

Everlasting is Your mercy.

43. And holy is Your name
Through all generations!
Everlasting is Your mercy
To the people You have chosen,
And holy is Your name.

Wipe away all tears,  For the dawn draws near,  And the world is about to turn.

And my spirit sings of the wondrous things  that you bring to the ones who wait. 

53. You fixed your sight on Your servant's plight,  and my weakness you did not spurn,   
So from east to west shall my name be blest.  Could the world be about to turn?

54. My heart shall sing of the day you bring
My heart shall sing of the day you bring.  Let the fires of Your justice burn.   
Wipe away all tears,  For the dawn draws near,  And the world is about to turn.

And Your mercy will last from the depths of the past  to the end of the age to be.

You will show Your might, put the strong to flight,  for the world is about to turn.

My heart shall sing of the day You bring.  Let the fires of Your justice burn.   
Wipe away all tears,  For the dawn draws near,  And the world is about to turn.

80. Confession:
God of grace and God of glory, we come before you, your humble servants called by you to your will and your way.  We come knowing that we have made mistakes. We have excluded new voices from our old traditions.

81. We have not made a way for those who sit on the margins to join us as United Methodist Women.  We have discouraged some who come with new ideas. We have ignored some who speak words we don’t understand and don’t bother to translate.

82. Like Mary, turn us around to look you in the face, to hear your voice as it sings into our ears words of justice, words of peace, words of joy.

83. One: No matter where we come from, how we get here or where we’ve been, God waits to embrace us in the grip of a fierce and tender love that never lets us go.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
