O may all who come behind us find us faithful; may the fire of their devotion light our way. May the footprints that we leave lead them to believe, and the lives we live inspire them to obey. O may all who come behind us find us faithful.
May we be a shining light to the nations, a shining light to the peoples of the earth, Till the whole world sees the glory of Your name. May Your pure light shine through us. May we be a word of hope to the nations, a word of hope to the peoples of the earth, Till the whole world knows there’s salvation through Your name. May Your mercy flow through us. May we sing a song of joy to the nations, a song of praise to the peoples of the earth, Till the whole world rings with the praises of Your name. May Your song be sung through us. May Your kingdom come to the nations, Your will be done in the peoples of the earth, Till the whole world knows that Jesus Christ is Lord. May Your kingdom come through us. Amen.

Medley of Gospel Hymns
- We’re Marching to Zion
Come, we that love the Lord, and let our joys be known; join in a song with sweet accord, join in a song with sweet accord and thus surround the throne, and thus surround the throne. We’re marching to Zion, beautiful, beautiful Zion; we’re marching upward to Zion, the beautiful city of God. Then let our songs abound, and every tear be dry; we’re marching through Emmanuel’s ground, we’re marching through Emmanuel’s ground, to fairer worlds on high, to fairer worlds on high. We’re marching to Zion, beautiful, beautiful Zion; we’re marching upward to Zion, the beautiful city of God.
- Higher Ground
I’m pressing on the upward way, new heights I’m gaining every day; Still praying as I onward bound, “Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.” Lord, lift me up and let me stand, by faith, on Heaven’s tableland, A higher place than I have found; Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
- Since Jesus Came Into My Heart
What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought since Jesus came into my heart! I have light in my soul for which long I had sought since Jesus came into my heart! Since Jesus came into my heart, since Jesus came into my heart, Floods of joy o’er my soul like the sea billows roll, since Jesus came into my heart. I shall go there to dwell in that City, I know, since Jesus came into my heart! And I’m happy, so happy, as onward I go, since Jesus came into my heart! Since Jesus came into my heart, since Jesus came into my heart, Floods of joy o’er my soul like the sea billows roll, since Jesus came into my heart.
