All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name
All hail the power of Jesus’ name
Let angels prostrate fall
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown him Lord of all
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown him Lord of all
Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race
Ye ransomed from the fall
Hail him who saves you by his grace
And crown him Lord of all
Hail him who saves you by his grace
And crown him Lord of all
Let every kindred, every tribe
On this terrestrial ball
To him all majesty ascribe
And crown him Lord of all
To him all majesty ascribe
And crown him Lord of all
O that, with yonder sacred throng
We at his feet may fall
We’ll join the everlasting song
And crown him Lord of all
We’ll join the everlasting song
And crown him Lord of all

An Affirmation of our Faith
We are justified “freely” or “by grace”
through redemption in Jesus Christ.
And therefore we cling to this foundation,
which is firm forever,
giving all glory to God,
humbling ourselves,
and recognizing ourselves as we are;
not claiming a thing for ourselves or our merits
and leaning and resting on the sole obedience of Christ crucified,
which is ours when we believe in him.
—based on Belgic Confession, Art. 23
Immortal, Invisible God Only Wise
Immortal, invisible
God only wise
In light inaccessible
Hid from our eyes
Most blessed, most glorious
The Ancient of Days
Almighty, victorious
Thy great name we praise
Unresting, unhasting
And silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting
Thou rulest in might
Thy justice, like mountains
High soaring above
Thy clouds, which are fountains
Of goodness and love
To all, life thou givest
To both great and small
In all life thou livest
The true life of all
We blossom and flourish
As leaves on the tree
And wither and perish
But naught changeth thee
Great Father of glory
Pure Father of light
Thine angels adore thee
All veiling their sight
All praise we would render
O help us to see
‘Tis only the splendor
Of light hideth thee
Holy is the Lord God almighty
The earth is filled with his glory
Holy is the Lord God almighty
The earth is filled with his glory
The earth is filled with his glory
Walter Chalmers Smith, 1867.Tune, ST. DENIO, traditional Welsh hymn melody
Sermon
“This Table We Share”
Acts 2:42-47
Prayer of Confession
Loving Father and Tender God,
whose Son you made to be a drink offering,
in atoning Sacrifice for our sin,
be merciful, forgive and cleanse us from unrighteousness.
Forgive our ingratitude and rebellion.
Make us a merciful people
as a reflection of your loving-kindness,
and a community, broken and poured out,
that loves tenderly as you have loved us,
to a world in need of your healing grace.
That many will flee to you and live.
Through Jesus. Amen.

Amazing Grace
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
Tis grace has brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home
When we’ve been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun
John Newton, 1779; Tune, AMAZING GRACE, traditional American melody
Doxology
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise him, all creatures here below
Praise him above, ye heavenly host
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Amen
Thomas Ken, Tune – OLD HUNDREDTH, Genevan Psalter (1551) attr. to Louis Bourgeois
