Hymn of Preparation: “I Was There To Hear Your Borning Cry” #2051 TFWS
Words: John Ylvisaker Music: John Ylvisaker
©1958 John Ylvisaker
1.I was there to hear your borning cry,
I’ll be there when you are old.
I rejoiced the day you were baptized,
to see your life unfold.
2.I was there when you were but a child,
with a faith to suit you well;
in a blaze of light you wandered off
to find where demons dwell.
3.When you heard the wonder of the Word
I was there to cheer you on;
you were raised to praise the living God,
to whom you now belong.
4.If you find someone to share your time
and you join your hearts as one,
I’ll be there to make your verses rhyme
from dusk ’till rising sun.
5.In the middle ages of your life,
not too old, no longer young,
I’ll be there to guide you through the night,
complete what I’ve begun.
6.When the evening gently closes in,
and you shut your weary eyes,
I’ll be there as I have always been
with just one more surprise.
7.I was there to hear your borning cry,
I’ll be there when you are old.
I rejoiced the day you were baptized,
To see your life unfold.

Closing Hymn: “The Gift of Love” #408 UMH
Words: Hal Hopson, 1972 (1 Cor. 13:1-3)
Music: Trad. English melody; Adapt. By Hal
Hopson, 1972
1.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.
2.Though I may give all I posses,
and striving so my love profess,
but not be given by love within,
the profit soon turns strangely thin.
3. 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.
Dismissal with Blessing……………….…Pastor Juan
