Hymn My Song Is Love Unknown Congregation

Call to Worship
One: Blessed be the name of the Holy One our God,
All: Who redeems us from sin and death.
One: For us and for our salvation,
Christ became obedient unto death,
even death on a cross.
All: Blessed be the name of God.

Prayer (unison)
Good Friday God,
look graciously, we pray, on us your people
for whom your Beloved, Jesus,
was willing to be betrayed,
to be laid open to the powers of this world,
to suffer death on a cross.
Grant us your presence on this day of Christs passion,
that we might be with Christ, through death to resurrection.
Amen.
