Call to Worship
Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth!
Serve the LORD with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
Know that the LORD, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
—Psalm 100:1-3 (ESV)
O For a Thousand
O, for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer’s praise
The glories of my God and King
The triumphs of his grace
Jesus, the name that charms our fears
That bids our sorrows cease
‘Tis music in the sinner’s ears
‘Tis life and health and peace
He breaks the power of cancelled sin
He sets the prisoners free
His blood can make the foulest clean
His blood availed for me
He speaks and listening to his voice
New life the dead receive
The mournful broken hearts rejoice
The humble poor believe
My gracious Master and my God
Assist me to proclaim
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honors of thy name
Charles Wesley, 1739. Tune, AZMON, Carl G. Glaser, 1784-1829; adapt. Lowell Mason, 1839
Holy
What heart could hold the weight of your love
And know the heights of your great worth
What eyes could look on your glorious face
Shining like the sun
Your name alone has pow’r to raise us
Your light will shine when all else fades
Our eyes will look on your glorious face
Shining like the sun
You are holy, holy, holy
God most high and God most worthy
You are holy, holy, holy
Jesus you are, Jesus you are
And you will come again in glory
To judge the living and the dead
All eyes will look on your glorious face
Shining like the sun
Who is like you, God
You are holy, holy, holy
God most high and God most worthy
You are holy, holy, holy
Jesus you are, Jesus you are
Who shall we say you are
You’re the living God
Who shall we say you are
You’re the Great I AM
The highest name of all
You’re all you say you are
You are holy, holy, holy
God most high and God most worthy
You are holy, holy, holy
Jesus you are, Jesus you are
You are holy, holy, holy
God most high and God most worthy
You are holy, holy, holy
Jesus you are, Jesus you are
Jesus you are, Jesus you are

A Profession of Faith
What does it benefit us to know that God has created all things
and still upholds them by his providence?
We can be patient in adversity,
thankful in prosperity,
and with a view to the future
we can have a firm confidence
in our faithful God and Father
that no creature shall separate us from His love;
for all creatures are so completely in His hand
that without his will they cannot so much as move.
—from The Heidelberg Catechism, Q&A 28

Prayer of Confession
Faithful God and Loving Father,
hear our cry and forgive our sin.
Be merciful and cleanse our unrighteousness.
Take our broken lives and restore us,
that we may serve you with joy,
and enter into the pain and suffering
of your good but fallen world,
that the weary will be made strong,
the discouraged will find hope,
the lost will be found,
and the wounded will be made whole,
as we have been, in your Son.
Through Jesus. Amen.
The Lord’s Supper
Mercy
I will kneel in the dust
At the foot of the cross
Where mercy paid for me
Where the wrath I deserve
It is gone, it has passed
Your blood has hidden me
Mercy, mercy as endless as the sea
I’ll sing your hallelujah for all eternity
We will lift up the cup
And the bread we will break
Remembering your love
We were fallen from grace
But you took all our shame
And nailed it to a cross
Mercy, mercy as endless as the sea
I’ll sing your hallelujah for all eternity
Mercy, mercy as endless as the sea
I’ll sing your hallelujah for all eternity
May I never lose the wonder
O the wonder of your mercy
May I sing your hallelujah
Hallelujah, amen
May I never lose the wonder
O the wonder of your mercy
May I sing your hallelujah
Hallelujah, amen
May I never lose the wonder
O the wonder of your mercy
May I sing your hallelujah
Hallelujah, amen
I will kneel in the dust
At the foot of the cross
Where mercy paid for me
