†Opening Hymn #347 All Creatures of Our God and KingAll creatures of our God and King,
Lift up your voice and with us sing, Alleluia! Alleluia! Thou burning sun with golden beam, thou silver moon with softer gleam!
O praise Him! O praise Him! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!Thou rushing wind that art so strong
Ye clouds that sail in Heaven along, O praise Him! Alleluia! Thou rising morn, in praise rejoice, ye lights of evening, find a voice!
O praise Him! O praise Him! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!Thou flowing water, pure and clear,
Make music for thy Lord to hear, Alleluia! Alleluia! Thou fire so masterful and bright, that givest man both warmth and light.
O praise Him! O praise Him! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!Let all things their Creator bless,
And worship Him in humbleness, O praise Him! Alleluia! Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son, and praise the Spirit, Three in One!
O praise Him! O praise Him! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!Lift up your voices once again, and then before the last Amen,
Listen to the organ playing: (Organ solo) O praise Him! O praise Him! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Anthem Blessed is the Man CorelliBlessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor standeth in the way of sinners; But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law doth he meditate day and night, And in His law doth he meditate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree that is planted by the rivers of waters, that bringeth forth his fruit in due season.
His leaf shall not wither and what he doeth shall prosper, Shall prosper, and what he doeth shall prosper.
†Closing Hymn #91 Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, Just to take Him at His word,
Just to rest upon His promise, Just to know, “Thus saith the Lord.”Refrain:
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him! How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er! Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! O for grace to trust Him more!
How I love to trust in Jesus, Just to trust His cleansing blood, Just in simple faith to plunge me ‘Neath the healing, cleansing flood!
(Refrain)Yes, I’ve learned to trust in Jesus, And from sin and self to cease,
Now from Jesus simply taking Life and rest and joy and peace. (Refrain)I’m so glad I learned to trust Him, Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
And I know that He is with me, He’ll be with me to the end. (Refrain)
