Benediction: Pastor Ray And now, may the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make his face to shine upon
you and be gracious unto you. May God give you His peace in your going out and in your
coming in, in your lying down and in your rising up, in your labor and in your leisure, in your
laughter and in your tears; until you come to stand before Jesus; in that day, in which there is
no sunset and no dawning.

Once he died our souls to save, Alleluia!
Where's thy victory, O grave? Alleluia!
Verse 1
Crown him with many crowns, the Lamb
upon his throne,
Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns
all music but its own.
Awake, my soul, and sing of him who died
for thee, and hail him as thy matchless
King through all eternity
Verse 3, sung by the soloists
Crown him the Lord of peace, whose
power a scepter sways from pole to
pole, that wars may cease, and all be
prayer and praise.
His reign shall know no end, and round
his pierced feet fair flowers of
paradise extend their fragrance ever sweet.
