28.    In This Very Room    Ron and Carol Harris
In this very room there's quite enough love for one like me,
And in this very room there's quite enough joy for one like me,
And there's quite enough hope and quite enough power to chase away any gloom
For Jesus, Lord Jesus, is in this very room.
In this very room there's quite enough love for all of us,
And in this very room there's quite enough joy for all of us,
And there's quite enough hope and quite enough power to chase away any gloom
For Jesus, Lord Jesus, is in this very room.
And in this very room there's quite enough love for all the world,
And in this very room there's quite enough joy for all the world,
And there's quite enough hope and quite enough power to chase away any gloom
For Jesus, Lord Jesus, is in this very room.
 
29.    How Beautiful    Twila Paris
How beautiful the hands that served the wine and the bread and the sons of the earth.
How beautiful the feet that walked the long dusty roads on the hill to the cross.
How beautiful is the body of Christ.
How beautiful the heart that bled, that took all my sin and bore it instead.
How beautiful the tender eyes that chose to forgive and never despise.
How beautiful is the body of Christ.
How beautiful the radiant bride who waits for her groom with His light in her eyes.
How beautiful when humble hearts give the fruit of pure lives so that others may live.
How beautiful is the body of Christ.
And as he laid down his life, we offer this sacrifice,
That we will live just as he died, willing to pay the price.
How beautiful the feet that bring the sound of good news and the love of the King.
How beautiful the hands that serve the bread and the wine and the sons of the earth.
How beautiful is the body of Christ.
 
30.    The Gift of Love    Hal Hopson
Though I may speak with bravest fire, and have the gift to all inspire,
And have not love, my words are vain, as sounding brass and hopeless gain.
Though I may give all I possess, and striving so my love profess,
But not be given by love within, the profit soon turns strangely thin.
Come, Spirit, come, our hearts control, our spirits long to be made whole,
Let inward love guide every deed; by this we worship, and are freed.
 
31.    On Eagle's Wings    Michael Joncas
You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord, who abide in his shadow for life,
Say to the Lord: "My refuge, my Rock in whom I trust!"
(Refrain) And he will raise you up on eagle's wings, bear you on the breath of dawn,
             Make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of his hand.
The snare of the hunter will never capture you, and famine will bring you no fear:
Under his wings your refuge, his faithfulness your shield.
(Repeat Refrain)
For to his angels he's given a command to guard you in all of your ways.
Upon their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.
(Repeat Refrain)
 
32.    The Lord's Prayer    Alfred Hay Malotte
Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts and we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory for ever.
Amen.
 
33.    Wedding Prayer (1)    Fern Glasgow Dunlap
Heavenly Father, hear us as we pray, here at thine altar on our wedding day.
Show us the path that thou woulds't have us take, help us to follow thee, and sin forsake.
In thy sight, oh, God, today, we've come to pledge our love in unity.
Bless the sacred vows we take, and keep us one through all eternity.
Give us strength in sorrow, want, and need, always steadfast to remain.
And, when clouds shall fill our skies of blue, help our love to see us through.
Oh, God, until we reach life's ebbing tide, may we in perfect love and peace abide,
And when life's sun shall set beyond the hill, may we go hand in hand, together still.
Amen.
 
34.    Wedding Prayer (2)    David H. Williams
Our heav'nly Father, we ask that on this day thy loving arms be near us.
Bless thou this hour, bless thou this moment, bind us in thee forever from this day.
Bless thou the ring, bless thou the promise, strengthen our love throughout each day.
All happy moments, all times of sadness, teach us to trust and share them all with thee.
O Holy Father, bless thou this moment, bless thou this hour.
 
35.    Be Thou With Them    Johann Sebastian Bach
Be thou with them, dear Lord and Father, their lives and souls dost thou unite.
Oh how blest are they, thy children,
When in thy spirit, living, moving, they grow in love before thy sight.
 
36.    O Lord Most Holy    Cesar Franck
O Lord most holy, O loving Father, thee would we be praising always.
Help us to know thee, know thee and love thee,
Father, grant us thy truth and grace, Father, guide and defend us.
Rule thou our willful hearts, keep thou our wandering thoughts;
In all our sorrows let us find our rest in thee;
And in temptation's hour save through thy mighty power, thine aid O send us;
Hear us in thy mercy, show us thy favor, so shall we live to sing and praise thee.
 
37.    Alleluia    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
