Let these branches be for us signs of his victory, and grant that we who bear them in his name may ever hail him as our King, and follow him in the way that leads to eternal life; who lives and reigns in glory with you and the Holy Spirit, now and for ever.

The Psalm The psalm will be read as prompted by the Lector.
Psalm 22 1My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? *
Why are you so far from helping me, from the words of my groaning? 2O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer; *
and by night, but find no rest. 3Yet you are holy, *
enthroned on the praises of Israel.
4In you our ancestors trusted; *
they trusted, and you delivered them.
5To you they cried, and were saved; *
in you they trusted, and were not put to shame.
6But I am a worm, and not human; *
scorned by others, and despised by the people. 7All who see me mock at me; *
they make mouths at me, they shake their heads; 8‘Commit your cause to the LORD; let him deliver— *
let him rescue the one in whom he delights!’ 9Yet it was you who took me from the womb; *
you kept me safe on my mother’s breast. 10On you I was cast from my birth, *
and since my mother bore me you have been my God. 11Do not be far from me, *
for trouble is near and there is no one to help.

The Nicene Creed Please stand.
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

The Mystery of Our Faith Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.
The Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who 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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
The Breaking of the Bread Celebrant: Christ our Passover has been sacrificed for us. People: Therefore let us keep the feast.
The Invitation Celebrant: These are the gifts of God for the people of God. Take them in remembrance that Christ died for you, and feed on him in your hearts by faith, with thanksgiving.

The Communion Hymn Please be seated and sing.
By His Wounds He was pierced for our transgressions He was crushed for our sins The punishment that brought us peace was upon Him And by His Wounds by His Wounds We are healed We are healed by Your Sacrifice In the life that You gave We are healed for You paid the price By Your Grace we are saved We are saved
You Are My King I'm forgiven because You were forsaken. I'm accepted; You were condemned. I'm alive and well, Your Spirit is within me Because You died and rose again. Amazing love, how can it be That You, my King would die for me? Amazing love, I know it's true; It's my joy to honor You In all I do, I honor You. (Bridge) You are my King, You are my King, Jesus, You are my King, Jesus, You are my King.

The Hymn in Recession Please remain standing and sing.
The Wonderful Cross When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of Glory died My richest gain I count but loss And pour contempt on all my pride See from His head His hands His feet Sorrow and love flow mingled down Did e'er such love and sorrow meet Or thorns compose so rich a crown (Chorus) Oh the wonderful cross Oh the wonderful cross Bids me come and die and find That I may truly live Oh the wonderful cross Oh the wonderful cross All who gather here by grace Draw near and bless Your name Were the whole realm of nature mine That were an offering far too small Love so amazing so divine Demands my soul my life my all
