CALL TO WORSHIP
From the mountainside, from the seaside,
from the homes of the rich
Jesus is coming!
From the bedside of those who are sick,
and the company of the poor, Jesus is coming!
Along dusty roads,
Jesus comes today.
Let us greet him with Hosanna on our lips!
HYMN CH4 365 Ride on! ride on in majesty
