REMEMBER

Not a word will be spoken during the Lords Supper Service. The only intended sound will be the
organ as it portrays the life and death of our Savior through the strains of meaningful hymns .
ORGAN PRELUDE

In Remembrance

SCRIPTURE
(To be read in silence)

The Lord Jesus the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given
thanks, He broke it, and said, take, eat: this is My body, which is broken for you, This do in
remembrance of me. After the same manner also He took the cup saying, this cup is the New
Testament in My blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of Me. For as often as ye
eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lords death til He come.

THE PROCESSIONAL OF
PASTOR AND DEACONS

THE BREAD BLESSED AND BROKEN

Crown Him with many crowns, the Lamb upon His throne; Hark! how the Heavnly anthem drowns
all music but its own: awake, my soul, and sing of Him who died for thee, and hail Him as the
matchless King thro all eternity.

Here at thy table, Lord, this sacred hour, O let us feel thee near, in loving power; calling our
thoughts away from self and sin, as to thy banquet hall we enter in. Come then, O Holy Christ, feed
us, we pray; touch with thy pierced hand each common day, making this earthly life of thy grace, till
in the home of heavn we find our place.

THE LIGHTING OF THE CANDLES

The whole world was lost in the darkness of sin, the light of the world is Jesus; like sunshine at
noon-day His glory shone in, the light of the world is Jesus. Come to the light, tis shining for thee;
sweetly the light has dawned upon me, once I was blind, but now I can see: the light of the world is
Jesus.

Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow
strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace.
THE PERIOD OF MEDITATION
MEDITATE UPON THE FACT OF THE CRADLE
HIS WONDERFUL BIRTH

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, the little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head; the stars in the
sky looked down where He lay, the little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay. Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask
thee to stay close by me forever, and love me, I pray: bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
and fit us for Heaven to live with thee there.

(Congregation pray silently)

THE SERVING OF THE BREAD

(Deacons will stand)

O sacred head, now wounded, with grief and shame weighed down, now scornfully surrounded
with thorns, thine only crown; how pale thou are with anguish, with sore abuse and scorn! How
does that visage languish which once was brought as morn! What language shall I borrow to thank
thee, dearest friend, for this thy dying sorrow, thy pity without end? O make me thine forever, and
should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never outlive my love to thee.
THE PERIOD OF MEDITATION
(Please hold bread until close of meditation and partake when Pastor does)

Where can we find thee, Lord, so near, so real, so gracious, so divine, as at the table set with love
by those who know themselves as thine?
TAKE, EAT: THIS IS MY BODY
THE FRUIT OF THE VINE IS BLESSED

MEDITATE UPON THE FACT OF THE CROSS

(Congregation pray silently)

HIS ATONING DEATH

Alas, and did my Savior bleed and did my sovreign die? Would He devote that sacred head for
sinners such as I? But drops of grief can neer repay the debt of love I owe; here, Lord, I give myself
away, tis all that I can do.

I saw the cross of Jesus, when burdened with my sin; I sought the cross of Jesus, to give me peace
within; I brought my soul to Jesus, He cleansed it in His Blood; and in the cross of Jesus I found my
peace with God.

THE PASSING OF THE CUP

THE REMOVAL OF THE CLOTH

(Deacons will stand)

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 eer such love and sorrow meet or thorns compose so rich a crown.

Up Calvarys Mountain one dreadful morn, walked Christ my Savior, weary and worn; facing for
sinners death on the cross, that He might save them from endless loss. Blessed Redeemer! Precious
Redeemer! Seems now I see Him on Calvarys tree; wounded and bleeding, for sinners
pleading blind and unheeding dying for me!

THE PERIOD OF MEDITATION

(Please hold cup until close of meditation and partake when Pastor does)
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, the emblem of suffering and shame; and I love that
old cross where the dearest and best for a world of lost sinners was slain. So Ill cherish the old
rugged cross, till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, and exchange it
someday for a crown.
DRINK YE ALL OF IT
THE COVERING OF THE ELEMENTS

Upon that cross of Jesus mine eyes at times can see the very dying form of one who suffered there
for me; and from my smitten heart with tears two wonders I confess, the wonders of His glorious
love and my unworthiness.
THE PERIOD OF MEDITATION

(Congregation pray silently)

King of my life, I crown thee now, thine shall the glory be; lest I forget thy thorn-crossed brow,
lead me to Calvary. Lest I forget Gethsemane; lest I forget thine agony; lest I forget thy love for me,
lead me to Calvary. May I be willing, Lord, to bear daily my cross for thee; even thy cup of grief to
share, thou has borne all for me. Lest I forget Gethsemane; lest I forget thine agony; lest I forget
thy love for me, lead me to Calvary.
THE MOMENT OF ADORATION

The
Silent
Lords
Supper

(Tell Him that you love Him)

His name is wonderful, His name is wonderful, His name is wonderful, Jesus, my Lord; He is the
mighty King, master of everything, His name is wonderful, Jesus, my Lord. Hes the great
shepherd, the rock of all ages, Almighty God is He; bow down before Him, love and adore Him,
His name is wonderful, Jesus, my Lord. Hes the great shepherd, the rock of all ages, Almighty
God is He; bow down before Him, love and adore Him, his name is wonderful, Jesus, my Lord.
THE RECESSIONAL OF PASTOR AND DEACONS

Crown Him the Lord of life, who triumphed oer 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.
(Congregation will recess quietly after the Pastor and Deacons have retired. Please
leave quietly, refraining from talking until after you have left the church sanctuary.)
