Call to Worship
The Lord is my strength and my song,
and he has become my salvation;
this is my God, and I will praise him,
my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

—Exodus 15:2

 

Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee
Joyful, joyful we adore thee
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before thee
Opening to the sun above

Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of immortal gladness
Fill us with the light of day

All thy works with joy surround thee
Earth and heav’n reflect thy rays
Stars and angels sing around thee
Center of unbroken praise

Field and forest, vale and mountain
Flowery meadow, flashing sea
Chanting bird and flowing fountain
Call us to rejoice in thee

Thou art giving and forgiving
Ever blessing, ever blessed
Wellspring of the joy of living
Ocean depth of happy rest

Thou our Father, Christ our Brother
All who live in love are thine
Teach us how to love each other
Lift us to the joy divine

Mortals join the mighty chorus
Which the morning stars began
Father love is reigning o’er us
Brother love binds man to man

Ever singing march we onward
Victors in the midst of strife
Joyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life

Henry van Dyke Tune HYMN TO JOY, Ludwig van Beethoven; melody from “ Nineth Symphany”; adapted by Edward Hodges, CCLI 241710

 

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)

A Litany for the Christian Community on Observable Love
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

These things I command you, so that you will love one another

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

—John 13:33-35, 15:13, 17, 1 Corinthians 13:1-3, 13

 

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

“No Cause for Stumbling
We Have a Mandate”
1 John 2:7-14

 

Prayer of Confession
Holy and Loving Father, forgive and cleanse us from our sin.
We are weak in word and in deed, in thought and desire.
Give us faith and courage to love one another,
strengthen us to forgive as you have forgiven and to love as you have loved.

until heaven and earth are one.
Through Jesus. Amen.

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Jesus Paid It All
I hear the Savior say
Thy strength indeed is small
Child of weakness watch and pray
Find in me thine all in all

Jesus paid it all
All to him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

Lord now indeed I find
Thy power and thine alone
Can change the leper’s spots
And melt the heart of stone

Jesus paid it all
All to him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

For nothing good have I
Whereby thy grace to claim
I’ll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb

Jesus paid it all
All to him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

And when before the throne
I stand in him complete
Jesus died my soul to save
My lips shall still repeat

Jesus paid it all
All to him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow
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

Call to Worship
We have a great high priest
who has ascended into heaven,
Jesus, the Son of God,
In him, we have one who has been tested as we are,
yet did not sin.

Let us then approach the throne of grace with boldness,
so that we may receive mercy
and find grace to help in time of need.

—based on Hebrews 4:14-16

 

Come Boldly to the Throne of Grace
Come boldly to the throne of grace
Ye wretched sinners come
And lay your load at Jesus’ feet
And plead what he has done

How can I come, some soul may say
I’m lame and cannot walk
My guilt and sin have stopped my mouth
I sigh, but dare not talk

Come boldly to the throne of grace
Though lost, and blind, and lame
Jehovah is the sinner’s friend
And ever was the same

He makes the dead to hear his voice
He makes the blind to see
The sinner lost he came to save
And set the prisoner free

Come boldly to the throne of grace
For Jesus fills the throne
And those he kills he makes alive
He hears the sigh or groan

Poor bankrupt souls, who feel and know
The hell of sin within
Come boldly to the throne of grace
The Lord will take you in, take you in

This is Amazing Grace
Who breaks the power of sin and darkness
Whose love is mighty and so much stronger
The King of Glory, the King above all kings

Who shakes the whole earth with holy thunder
Who leaves us breathless in awe and wonder
The King of Glory, the King above all kings

This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That you would take my place
That you would bear my cross

You laid down your life
That I would be set free
O, Jesus I sing for all that you’ve done for me

Who brings our chaos back into order
Who makes the orphan a son and daughter
The King of Glory, the King of Glory

Who rules the nations with truth and justice
Shines like the sun in all of its brilliance
The King of Glory, the King above all kings

This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That you would take my place
That you would bear my cross

You laid down your life
That I would be set free
O, Jesus I sing for all that you’ve done for me

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

Gifts — We Are Yours
You placed eternity in our hearts
We were yours from the very start
All we’ve known has been torn apart
And now we have forever

You gave a song for our souls to sing
And your life was the offering
Even death, it has lost its sting
Now we have forever

And you can’t take away what the world didn’t give
We were made for more, we were made for more
At the end of the day, this will remain
Forever we are yours, forever we are yours

You made a place at your table, God
Paid the way for the poor and lost
Called us into your open arms
And now we have forever

And you can’t take away what the world didn’t give
We were made for more, we were made for more
At the end of the day, this will remain
Forever we are yours, forever we are yours

And you can’t take away what the world didn’t give
We were made for more, we were made for more
At the end of the day, this will remain
Forever we are yours, forever we are yours

No one, no one can take your place
No life, no death can separate
Your love, your love has conquered the grave
You conquered the grave

And you can’t take away what the world didn’t give
We were made for more, we were made for more
At the end of the day, this will remain
Forever we are yours, forever we are yours

No you can’t take away what the world didn’t give
We were made for more, we were made for more
At the end of the day, this will remain
Forever we are yours, forever we are yours
Forever we are yours, forever
We are yours
We are yours

I Will Sing of My Redeemer
I will sing of my Redeemer
And his wondrous love to me
On the cruel cross he suffered
From the curse to set me free

Sing, O sing, of my Redeemer

Paid the debt, and made me free

I will tell the wondrous story
How my lost estate to save
In his boundless love and mercy
He the ransom freely gave

With his blood, he purchased me
On the cross, he sealed my pardon
Paid the debt, and made me free

Confession of the Church
I believe that the Son of God,
through his Spirit and Word,
out of the entire human race,
from the beginning of the world to its end,
gathers, protects, and preserves for himself
a community chosen for eternal life
and united in true faith.
And of this community
I am and always will be a living member.

You are a chosen race,
a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people,
in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of him
who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people;
once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

In Christ we are forgiven, redeemed,
and made to be a community united in faith.
Thanks be to God.

—from Heidelberg Catechism, Q&A 54 & from 1 Peter 2:9-10, NRSV

 

God You Reign
You paint the night
You count the stars
And you call them by name

Your glory shines
You teach the sun
When to bring a new day
Creation sings, ‘God you reign’

God you reign
God you reign
Forever and ever
God you reign

You part the seas
You move the mountains
With the words that you say
My song remains, ‘God you reign’

You hold my life
You know my heart
And you call me by name
I live to say, ‘God you reign’

God you reign
God you reign
Forever and ever
God you reign

Oh may I then in him be found
Dressed in his righteousness alone
Faultless, to stand before the throne

Confession of Faith
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.

—Apostles’ Creed

* ‘Catholic’ is the historic word meaning ‘universal’ – it therefore refers to the entirety of believers throughout history.

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

All thy works shall praise thy name
In earth, and sky, and sea

Come As You Are
Come out of sadness from wherever you’ve been
Come broken-hearted, let rescue begin
Come find your mercy, O sinner come kneel
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal

So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame
All who are broken, lift up your face
O wanderer come home, you’re not too far
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart

Come as you are

There’s hope for the hopeless
And all those who’ve strayed
Come sit at the table, come taste the grace
There’s rest for the weary, rest that endures
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t cure

So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame
All who are broken, lift up your face
O wanderer come home, you’re not too far
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart

Come as you are, come as you are
Fall in his arms, come as you are

There’s joy for the morning, O sinner be still
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal

So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame
All who are broken, lift up your face
O wanderer come home, you’re not too far
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart

Come as you are

Gloria Patri
Glory be to the Father
And to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost
As it was in the beginning
Is now and ever shall be
World without end
Amen, amen

2nd century tr., Henry W. Greatorex, 1851
