Welcome and Announcements

Meditation Psalm 1Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; for the LORD knows the way of the right-eous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

Call to Worship Revelation 15:3-4 Leader:  “Great and amazing are Your deeds, O Lord God the Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the nations!Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. All nations will come and worship You, for Your righteous acts have been revealed.” O Magnify the LORD with me!

People: Let us exalt His Name together!

Holy, Holy, Holy!Public Domain. Words: Reginald Heber. Music: John Dykes.

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!Early in the morning, our song shall rise to Thee;Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!God in three person, blessed Trinity!

Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee,Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee, Which wert and art and ever more shall be.

Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide Thee,Though the eye of sinful man, Thy glory may not see;Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee, Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! All Thy works shall praise Thy nameIn earth, and sky, and sea; Holy, holy, holy; merciful and mighty!God in three person, blessed Trinity!

Confession of Sin

Song of Confession

From Depths of Woe I Raise to TheeWords by Martin Luther, 1523, Music by Christopher Miner, 1997

From depths of woe I raise to Thee the voice of lamentation;Lord, turn a gracious ear to me and hear my supplication;If Thou iniquities dost mark, our secret sins and misdeeds dark,Who shall stand before Thee? Who shall stand before Thee?

To wash away the crimson stain, Grace, grace much more availeth;Our works, alas! are all in vain; in much the best life faileth:No man can glory in Thy sight, All must alike confess Thy might,And live alone by mercy.Live alone, live alone, live alone by mercy.

6

Therefore my trust is in the Lord and not in mine own merit;On Him my soul shall rest, His Word upholds my fainting spirit:His promised mercy is my fort, my comfort, and my sweet support;I wait for it with patience. (Wait for it with patience)I wait for it with patience. (Wait for it with patience)

Though I wait the livelong night and till the dawn appeareth,My heart still trusteth in His might; it doubteth not nor feareth:Do thus, O ye of Israel’s seed, ye of the Spirit born indeed;And wait till God appeareth. (Wait till God appeareth)And wait till God appeareth. (Wait till God appeareth)

Though great our sins and sore our woes, His grace much more aboundeth;His helping love no limit knows, our utmost need it soundeth.Our Shepherd good and true is He, who will at last His Israel free.From all their sin and sorrow. (All their sin and sorrow)From all their sin and sorrow. (All their sin and sorrow)Who shall stand before Thee? (Who shall stand before Thee?)And live alone by mercy. (Live alone by mercy)I wait for it with patience. (Wait for it with patience)And wait till God appeareth. (Wait till God appeareth)From all their sin and sorrow. (All their sin and sorrow)Assurance of Pardoning Grace Psalm 130:3-4If You, O LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But with You there is forgiveness, that You may be feared.

Song of Offering/Thanksgiving

Jesus Is Our Great SalvationWords by John Adams, 1751-1835, Music by Clint Wells, 2004

Jesus is our great salvation,Worthy of our best esteem;He has saved His favorite nation;Join to sing aloud of Him.He has saved us!Christ alone could us redeem (3x)

When involved in sin and ruin,And no helper there was found,Jesus our distress was viewing;Grace did more than sin abound.He has called us,With salvation in the sound. (3x)

2Let us never Lord forget Thee;Make us walk as children here.We will give Thee all the gloryOf the love that brought us near.Bid us praise Thee,And rejoice with holy fear. (3x)

Free election known by calling, is a privilege divine;Saints are kept from final falling;All the glory Lord is Thine!All the glory, all the glory, Lord is Thine! (2x)

Song of Response

Rock of AgesWords by Augustus Toplady, 1776; Music by Thomas Hastings, 1830

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,Let me hide myself in Thee;Let the water and the blood,From Thy riven side which flowed,Be of sin the double cure;Cleanse me from its guilt and power

Not the labor of my handsCan fulfill Thy law’s demands;Could my zeal no respite know,Could my tears forever flow,All for sin could not atone;Thou must save, and Thou alone.

Nothing in my hand I bring,Simply to the cross I cling;Naked, come to Thee for dress;Helpless look to Thee for grace;Foul, I to the fountain fly;Wash me, Savior, or I die.

While I draw this fleeting breath,When mine eyelids close in death,When I soar to worlds unknown,See Thee on Thy judgment throne,Rock of Ages, cleft for me,Let me hide myself in Thee.

Benediction
