A Time of Centering
*Gathering Hymn: Hosanna, Loud Hosanna VU 123
Hosanna, loud hosanna, the happy children sang,
through pillared court and temple
the joyful anthem rang.
To Jesus, who had blessed them
close folded to his breast,
the children sang their praises,
the simplest and the best.
From Olivet they followed mid an exultant crowd,
the victory palm branch waving,
and singing clear and loud.
The Lord of earth and heaven
rode on in lowly state,
content that little children
should on his bidding wait.
"Hosanna in the highest!" that ancient song we sing,
for Christ is our Redeemer,
earth let your anthems ring.
O may we ever praise him
with heart and life and voice,
and in his humble presence
eternally rejoice!

our King and Blessed One. Refrain

with palms before you went;
our praise and prayer and anthems
before you we present. Refrain

they sang their hymns of praise;
to you, now high exalted,
our melody we raise. Refrain
Their praises you accepted,
accept the prayers we bring,
great author of all goodness,

The Offering
*Offering Hymn: When At This Table
When at this table I receive a blessing,
the broken bread, the wine of life for me,
then let me share the peace with you, my neighbor,
and let the Spirit set our spirits free.
If at this table I have need of healing,
unbidden grief, relationship gone wrong,
then let me know the hands of God enfolding,
and let lament become believing song.
If at this table I forget the hungry,
the dispossessed and warfare's spreading stain,
then let this bread become the bread of judgment,
this wine the sharp awareness of that pain.
If at this table I make dedication
to give my life in serving what is good,
then let my center be where God invites me,
and show the words of Jesus understood.
What faith I have, I bring to join this table,
what hope I hold, in Christ is taught and true;
with brothers, sisters, I will share the blessing,
the feast where God is making all things new.

Prayers of the Community
The Lord’s Prayer, sung #960 VU Langdon
*Hymn: Ride On! Ride On in Majesty! VU 127
Ride on, ride on in majesty!
Hark! all the tribes hosanna cry;
O Savior meek, pursue your road
with palms and scattered garments strowed.
Ride on, ride on in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die:
O Christ, your triumphs now begin
o'er captive death and conquered sin.
Ride on, ride on in majesty!
The winged squadrons of the sky
look down with sad and wond'ring eyes
to see th'approaching sacrifice.
Ride on, ride on in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die;
bow your meek head to mortal pain,
then take, O God, your pow'r and reign.
