Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken
Glorious things of thee are spoken
Zion, city of our God
He, whose word cannot be broken
Formed thee for his own abode
On the Rock of Ages founded
What can shake thy sure repose
With salvation’s walls surrounded
Thou mayst smile at all thy foes
See, the streams of living waters
Springing from eternal love
Well supply thy sons and daughters
And all fear of want remove
Who can faint while such a river
Ever will their thirst assuage
Grace which like the Lord, the giver
Never fails from age to age
Blest inhabitants of Zion
Washed in our Redeemer’s blood
Jesus, whom our souls rely on
Makes us monarchs, priests to God
Us, by his great love, he raises
Rulers over self to reign
And as priests his solemn praises
We for thankful offering bring
Savior, if of Zion’s city
I through grace a member am
Let the world deride or pity
I will glory in thy name
Fading is the worldling’s pleasure
All his boasted pomp and show
Solid joys and lasting treasure
None but Zion’s children know
John Newton, Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779 Tune, AUSTRIA arr. Franz J. Haydn, 1797, possibly from a Croatian folk melody) CCLI 241710
A Responsive Reading
Sing to him a new song; play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts. For the word of the LORD is upright, and all his work is done in faithfulness.
He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the LORD.
By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their host. He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap; he puts the deeps in storehouses.
Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him! For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.
—Psalm 33:3-9 (ESV)
O Praise Him
Turn your ear to Heaven
And hear the noise inside
The sound of angels awe
The sound of angels songs
And all this for a King
We could join and sing
All to Christ the King
How constant, how divine
This song of ours will rise
O, how constant how divine
This love of ours will rise, will rise…
O praise him, O praise him
He is holy, he is holy
Turn your gaze to Heaven
And raise a joyous noise
The sound of salvation come
The sound of rescued ones
And all this for a King
Angels join to sing
All for Christ our King
O praise him, O praise him
He is holy, he is holy
(repeat)
How infinite and sweet
This love so rescuing
O, how infinitely sweet
This great love that has redeemed
As one, we sing…
Hallelujah, hallelujah
He is holy, he is holy
O praise him, O praise him
He is holy, he is holy
(repeat)

Gifts — This Grace
This anchor for my soul, this everlasting hope
Your grace on which I stand
It’s where my life begins my future held within
Your grace on which I stand
Oh this grace on which I stand
It will hold me to the end never failing
Oh praise the One who rescued me
Jesus you will ever be my salvation
And when I’m on the run, the road that leads me home
Your grace on which I stand
And when I see your face the only claim I’ll make
Your grace on which I stand
Oh this grace on which I stand
It will hold me to the end never failing
Oh praise the One who rescued me
Jesus you will ever be my salvation
Worthy is the Lamb of God
Who takes away the sin of the world
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
To receive all honor and praise
Worthy is the Lamb of God
Who takes away the sin of the world
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
To receive all honor and praise
Oh this grace on which I stand
It will hold me to the end never failing
Oh praise the One who rescued me
Jesus you will ever be my salvation
Oh this grace on which I stand
It will hold me to the end never failing
Oh praise the One who rescued me
Jesus you will ever be my salvation

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.
*‘Catholic’ is the historic word meaning ‘universal’ – it therefore refers to the entirety of believers throughout history.
This I Believe (The Creed)
Our Father everlasting
The all creating One
God almighty
Through your Holy Spirit
Conceiving Christ the Son
Jesus our savior
I believe in God our Father
I believe in Christ the Son
I believe in the Holy Spirit
Our God is Three in One
I believe in the resurrection
That we will rise again
For I believe in the name of Jesus
Our Judge and our Defender
Suffered and crucified
Forgiveness is in you
Descended into darkness
You rose in glorious life
Forever seated high
I believe in God our Father
I believe in Christ the Son
I believe in the Holy Spirit
Our God is Three in One
I believe in the resurrection
That we will rise again
For I believe in the name of Jesus
I believe in you
I believe you rose again
I believe that Jesus Christ is Lord
I believe in life eternal
I believe in the virgin birth
I believe in the saints’ communion
And in your holy Church
I believe in the resurrection
When Jesus comes again
For I believe in the name of Jesus
I believe in God our Father
I believe in Christ the Son
I believe in the Holy Spirit
Our God is Three in One
I believe in the resurrection
That we will rise again
For I believe in the name of Jesus

Revelation Song
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Holy, holy is he
Sing a new song to him who sits on
Heaven’s mercy seat
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of kings
You are my ev’rything and I will adore you
Clothed in rainbows of living color
Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor
Strength and glory and power be
To you the only wise King
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of kings
You are my ev’rything and I will adore you
Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder
At the mention of your name
Jesus your name is power
Breath and living water
Such a marvelous myst’ry…
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of kings
You are my ev’rything and I will adore you

Children Dismissed for Children’s Church
Sermon
“Arise or Flee, Redux – Rediscovering & Obeying God’s Word”
Jonah 2:10-3:4
Prayer of Confession
Father in Heaven,
you are the Giver of all grace,
and your love endures forever.
Be merciful to us and forgive.
Our sins are too great for us to bear.
You have made us your children,
but we act like orphans.
Cause the tenderness of Christ,
that will not snuff out a smoldering wick,
or break a bent reed,
to fill our hearts and minds,
and draw us back to you.
Renew in us a steadfast spirit.
And break our hearts for this broken world,
that you will one day make new.
Through Jesus. Amen
The Lord’s Supper
The Wonderful Cross
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride
See from his head, his hands, his feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown
O the wonderful cross
O the wonderful cross
Bids me come and die
And find that I may truly live
O the wonderful cross
O the wonderful cross
All who gather here
By grace draw near and bless your name
Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were an offering far too small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all
O the wonderful cross
O the wonderful cross
Bids me come and die
And find that I may truly live
O the wonderful cross
O the wonderful cross
All who gather here
By grace draw near and bless your name
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride

Glory be to the Father
