Worship – August 4, 2013

Call to Worship
Come and worship, all you who love and serve the Lord:

There is no one like our God!

The First and Last – the only One:

There is no one like our God!

Creator, Sustainer, Redeemer and King:

There is no one like our God!

The Rock in whom we place our trust:

There is no one like our God!

Let us worship God together.

—based on Isaiah 44

 

Prayer of Confession
Most merciful God,
we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done, and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved you with our whole heart;
we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
We are truly sorry and we humbly repent,
for the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us;
that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways,
to the glory of your Name. Amen.

 

Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah
Guide me, O thou great Jehovah
Pilgrim through this barren land
I am weak, but thou art mighty
Hold me with thy powerful hand

Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven
Feed me till I want no more
Feed me till I want no more

Open now the crystal fountain
Whence the healing stream doth flow
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through

Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer
Be thou still my Strength and Shield
Be thou still my Strength and Shield

When I tread the verge of Jordan
Bid my anxious fears subside
Death of deaths, and hell’s destruction
Land me safe on Canaan’s side

Songs of praises, songs of praises
I will ever give to thee
I will ever give to thee

William Williams; translated by Peter Williams & William Williams, Tune CWM RHONDDA. John Hughes CCLI 241710

 

O Worship the King
O worship the King
All glorious above
O gratefully sing
His wonderful love

Our Shield and Defender
The Ancient of Days
Pavilioned in splendor
And girded with praise

O tell of his might
O sing of his grace
Whose robe is the light
Whose canopy space

His chariots of wrath
The deep thunderclouds form
And dark is his path
On the wings of the storm

You alone are the matchless King
To you alone be all majesty
Your glories and wonders
What tongue can recite
You breathe in the air
You shine in the light

O measureless might
Ineffable love
While angels delight
To worship above

Thy mercies, how tender
How firm to the end
Our Maker, Defender
Redeemer, and Friend

You alone are the matchless King
To you alone be all majesty
Your glories and wonders
What tongue can recite
You breathe in the air
You shine in the light
(repeat)

O worship the King
All glorious above
O gratefully sing
His wonderful love

Our shield and defender
The ancient of days
Pavilioned in splendor
And girded with praise

Gifts

 

The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

 

Holy, Holy, Holy
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 Persons, blessed Trinity

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 pow’r, in love, and purity

Holy, holy, holy
Lord God Almighty
All thy works shall praise thy name
In earth, and sky, and sea

Holy, holy, holy
Merciful and mighty
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
You’re the lifter of my head
