Call to Worship
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade.
Come, let us worship God together!
—based on I Peter 1:3-4
Arise My Soul, Arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Shake off your guilty fears
The bleeding sacrifice
In my behalf appears
Before the throne my Surety stands
Before the throne my Surety stands
My name is written on his hands
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Shake off your guilty fears and rise
He ever lives above
For me to intercede
His all redeeming love
His precious blood to plead
His blood atoned for every race
His blood atoned for every race
And sprinkles now the throne of grace
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Shake off your guilty fears and rise
Five bleeding wounds he bears
Received on Calvary
They pour effectual prayers
They strongly plead for me
“Forgive him, O forgive,” they cry
“Forgive him, O forgive,” they cry
“Nor let that ransomed sinner die”
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Shake off your guilty fears and rise
My God is reconciled
His pardoning voice I hear
He owns me for his child
I can no longer fear
With confidence I now draw nigh
With confidence I now draw nigh
And “Father, Abba, Father,” cry
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Shake off your guilty fears and rise

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.
Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder
Let us love and sing and wonder
Let us praise the Savior’s name
He has hushed the law’s loud thunder
He has quenched Mount Sinai’s flame
Let us love the Lord who bought us
Pitied us when enemies
Called us by his grace and taught us
Gave us ears and gave us eyes
He has washed us with his blood
He has washed us with his blood
He has washed us with his blood
He presents our souls to God
Let us wonder, grace and justice
Join and point to mercy’s store
When through grace in Christ our trust is
Justice smiles and asks no more
He who washed us with his blood
He who washed us with his blood
He who washed us with his blood
Has secured our way to God
Let us praise, and join the chorus
Of the saints enthroned on high
Here they trusted him before us
Now their praises fill the sky
He has washed us with his blood
He has washed us with his blood
He has washed us with his blood
He will bring us home to God

Fairest Lord Jesus
Fairest Lord Jesus
Ruler of all nature
Son of God and Son of man
Thee will I cherish
Thee will I honor
Thou, my soul’s glory, joy, and crown
Fair are the meadows
Fairer still the woodlands
Robed in the blooming garb of spring
Jesus is fairer
Jesus is purer
Who makes the woeful heart to sing
Fair is the sunshine
Fairer still the moonlight
And all the twinkling starry host
Jesus shines brighter
Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels heaven can boast
Beautiful Savior
Lord of the nations
Son of God and Son of man
Glory and honor
Praise, adoration
Now and forevermore be thine

Prayer of Confession
God of grace and peace, Friend of sinners and Lord of life,
your goodness is beyond comprehension, and your love unfailing.
Have mercy on us and forgive where we are weak, rebellious, lost and vulnerable.
Give us strength to endure, and protect us from paralyzing fear,
by the power of your Spirit, who is at work within us.
Grant us a renewed vision of the resurrection,
with our hearts, with one another, and in our world, until you make all things new.
Through Jesus. Amen.
The Lord’s Supper
Dear Refuge of My Weary Soul
Dear refuge of my weary soul
On thee, when sorrows rise
On thee, when waves of trouble roll
My fainting hope relies
To thee I tell each rising grief
For thou alone canst heal
Thy word can bring a sweet relief
For every pain I feel
But oh! When gloomy doubts prevail
I fear to call thee mine
The springs of comfort seem to fail
And all my hopes decline
Yet gracious God, where shall I flee
Thou art my only trust
And still my soul would cleave to thee Though prostrate in the dust
Hast thou not bid me seek thy face
And shall I seek in vain
And can the ear of sovereign grace
Be deaf when I complain
No still the ear of sovereign grace
Attends the mourner’s prayer
O may I ever find access
To breathe my sorrows there
Thy mercy seat is open still
Here let my soul retreat
With humble hope attend thy will
And wait beneath thy feet
Thy mercy seat is open still
Here let my soul retreat
With humble hope attend thy will
And wait beneath thy feet

Glory be to the Father
And to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost
As it was in the beginning
