E’en now the throng to welcome him prepare.

emancipation! Thro’ boundless love the Christ of Bethlehem
Brings faith and hope to thee forever more.

Join all and sing, His name declare!
Let every voice resound in joyous acclamation!
Hosanna! Praise Ye the Lord!
Bless He who cometh to bring us salvation!
*CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
People: Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Leader: Lo, your king comes to you;
People: Triumphant and victorious is he,
Leader: Humble and riding on a donkey,
People On a colt, the foal of a donkey
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION (In Unison)
God of mercy, you sent Jesus Christ to seek and save the lost. We
confess that we have strayed from you and turned aside from your way.
We are misled by pride, for we see ourselves pure when we are stained
and great when we are small. We have failed in love, neglected justice,
