OPENING ODE- Because He Lives

2014 OES SONG SHEET

OPENING ODE-“Because He Lives”

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow:

Because He lives, all fear is gone;

Because I know He holds the future

And life is worth the living just because He lives.

FLAG TRIBUTE- “God Bless America”

God bless America, land that I love

Stand beside her and guide her

Thru the night with a light from above.

From the mountains, to the prairies,

To the ocean white with foam.

God bless America, my home sweet home

CLOSING ODE- “May the Lord, Mighty God”

May the Lord, Mighty God bless and keep you forever.

Grant you peace, perfect peace, courage in every endeavor.

Lift up your eyes and see His face and His grace forever.

May the Lord, mighty God, bless and keep you forever.

INITIATION – “Blest Be the Tie That Binds”

Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love;

The fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above.

When we asunder part it gives us inward pain;

But we shall still be joined in heart and hope to meet again.

WELCOME SONG (tune: Savior Like A Shepherd Lead Us)

Welcome, welcome to our Order,

We shall need your help and care.

In the harvest fields of labor,

You shall have a rightful share.

Welcome, welcome, Heaven bless you.

Welcome, welcome is our prayer.

Welcome, welcome, as a member,

Welcome, welcome to you here.
