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 (ESV)
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 Confession of our Assurance in Jesus
What is your only comfort in life and in death?
That I am not my own, but belong body and soul,
in life and in death to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ.
He has fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood,
and has set me free from the tyranny of the devil.
He also watches over me in such a way
that not a hair can fall from my head
without the will of my Father in heaven;
in fact, all things must work together for my salvation.
Because I belong to him,
Christ, by his Holy Spirit,
assures me of eternal life
and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready
from now on to live for him.
—from Heidelberg Catechism, Q&A 1
Great Are You Lord
You give life, you are love,
You bring light to the darkness
You give hope
You restore ev’ry heart that is broken
And great are you Lord
It’s your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
We pour out our praise

You restore ev’ry heart that is broken
And great are you Lord
It’s your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise

It’s your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to you only
And all the earth will shout your praise
Our hearts will cry, these bones will sing
Great are you Lord
And all the earth will shout your praise
Our hearts will cry, these bones will sing
Great are you Lord
And all the earth will shout your praise
Our hearts will cry, these bones will sing
Great are you Lord
It’s your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise

It’s your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to you only
It’s your breath in our lungs

It’s your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to you only

Prayer of Confession
Mighty God and loving Father,
be merciful to us and forgive.
Our sins are many and we are weak.
Search and cleanse us.
Find us where we are hiding,
and expose where we resist you.
Restore us into your sweet fellowship
through Jesus, your Son and our King.
By your Spirit cause your tenderness to become ours
for those we love and for this world you created to be good.
Give us courage to enter into pain and suffering,
and to love as you have loved us,
that the grace and beauty of Christ would be seen
and sensed, until he comes.
Through Jesus. Amen.
The Lord’s Supper
There Is A Fountain Filled With Blood
There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Emmanuel’s veins
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains
The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day
And there may I, though vile as he
Wash all my sins away
And there may I, though vile as he
Wash all my sins away
Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power
Till all the ransomed church of God
Be saved, to sin no more
Till all the ransomed church of God
Be saved, to sin no more
E’er since, by faith, I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply
Redeeming love has been my theme
And shall be till I die
Redeeming love has been my theme
And shall be till I die
Then in a nobler, sweeter song
I’ll sing thy power to save
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave
William Cowper, Karl Digerness © 1997 Karl Digerness Music CCLI 241710
