Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
Love divine, all loves excelling
Joy of heaven to earth come down
Fix in us thy humble dwelling
All thy faithful mercies crown

Jesus, thou art all compassion
Pure unbounded love thou art
Visit us with thy salvation
Enter every trembling heart

Come, Almighty to deliver
Let us all thy life receive
Suddenly return and never
Mever more thy temples leave

Thee we would be always blessing
Serve thee as thy hosts above
Pray and praise thee without ceasing
Glory in thy perfect love

Finish, then, thy new creation
Pure and spotless let us be
Let us see thy great salvation
Perfectly restored in thee

Changed from glory into glory
Till in heaven we take our place
Till we cast our crowns before thee
Lost in wonder, love, and praise

Sermon
“The Feast – The Majesty and Ministry of the Lord’s Supper”
Luke 22:14-23

 

Prayer of Confession
Merciful God and loving Father,
who ‘did not spare his own Son,
but gave him up for us all,’
we exalt you, and offer adoration and praise.
Forgive our sin and heal us.
Break our hearts for the broken.
Open our hearts to the weary.
Soften our hearts to the unbelieving.
Pour us out to serve this world,
that longs for love but walks in darkness.
Make us an offering pleasing you,
until heaven and earth are one.
And everything is made new.
Through Jesus. Amen.

The Lord’s Supper

 

Come Ye Sinners
Come ye sinners, poor and needy
Weak and wounded, sick and sore
Jesus ready, stands to save you
Full of pity, love and power

Come ye thirsty, come and welcome
God’s free bounty glorified
True belief in true repentance
And every grace that brings you nigh

I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in his arms
And in the arms of my dear Savior
O, there are ten thousand charms

Come ye weary, heavy laden
Lost and ruined by the fall
If you tarry ’til you’re better
You will never come at all

I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in his arms
And in the arms of my dear Savior
O, there are ten thousand charms

I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in his arms
And in the arms of my dear Savior
O, there are ten thousand charms

I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in his arms
And in the arms of my dear Savior
O, there are ten thousand charms

Call to Worship
Behold, God is my salvation;
I will trust, and will not be afraid;
for the Lord God is my strength and my song,
and he has become my salvation.

—Isaiah 12:2

 

To God Be the Glory
To God be the glory, great things he has done
So loved he the world that he gave his own Son
Who yielded his life an atonement for sin
And opened the life gate that all may go in

Praise the Lord, (praise the Lord)
Let the earth hear his voice
Praise the Lord, (praise the Lord)
Let the people rejoice

O come to the Father through Jesus the Son
And give him the glory, great things he has done

O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood
To every believer the promise of God
The vilest offender who truly believes
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives

Praise the Lord, (praise the Lord)
Let the earth hear his voice
Praise the Lord, (praise the Lord)
Let the people rejoice

O come to the Father through Jesus the Son
And give him the glory, great things he has done

He has done great things
(He has done great things)
He has done great things
(He has done great things)

He has done great things
(He has done great things)

Sermon
“The Washing – The Meaning and Mystery of Christian Baptism”
Colossians 2:6-15

 

Prayer of Confession
Gracious Heavenly Father,
have mercy on us and forgive our sin.
Wash us in bountiful grace,
through Christ our atoning sacrifice,
whose shed blood covers our sin,
and the sin of the world.
Shape us into a gracious people,
who love the broken, serve the weak,
and seek out the least and the lost.
Make us a faithful presence
in this world you created to be good,
until you make all things new.
Through Jesus. Amen.

For you are my refuge, into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God.

The Lord’s Supper

 

In Christ Alone
In Christ alone, my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My comforter, my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save

‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground his body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave he rose again

And as he stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am his and he is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from his hand
‘Til he returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand

Crown Him With Many Crowns

Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns All music but its own

Awake, my soul, and sing
Of him who died for thee
And hail him as thy matchless King Through all eternity

Crown him the Lord of love
Behold his hands and side
Rich wounds, yet visible above
In beauty glorified

All hail, Redeemer, hail
For thou hast died for me
Thy praise and glory shall not fail Throughout eternity

Crown him the Lord of life
Who triumphed o’er the grave
And rose victorious in the strife
For those he came to save

His glories now we sing
Who died, and rose on high
Who died, eternal life to bring
And lives that death may die

Gifts — King of Love
The King of Love my Shepherd is
Whose goodness faileth never
I nothing lack if I am his
And he is mine forever
And he is mine forever

Where streams of living water flow
My ransomed soul he leadeth
And where the verdant pastures grow
With food celestial feedeth

Never failing ruler of my heart
Everlasting lover of my soul
On the mountain high, or in the valley low
The king of love my shepherd is
The king of love my shepherd is

Lost and foolish, off I strayed
But yet in love he sought me
And on his shoulder gently laid
And home rejoicing brought me

In death’s dark veil, I fear no ill
With thee dear Lord beside me
Thy rod and staff my comfort still
Thy cross before to guide me

Never failing ruler of my heart
Everlasting lover of my soul
On the mountain high, or in the valley low
The king of love my shepherd is
The king of love my shepherd is

Oh, hallelujah, hallelujah
Oh, hallelujah, hallelujah

Never failing ruler of my heart
Everlasting lover of my soul
On the mountain high, or in the valley low
The king of love my shepherd is

Never failing ruler of my heart
Everlasting lover of my soul
On the mountain high, or in the valley low
The king of love my shepherd is
The king of love my shepherd is

And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never
Good shepherd may I sing your praise
Within your house forever
Within your house forever

Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross
Jesus, keep me near the cross
There a precious fountain
Free to all, a healing stream
Flows from Calvary’s mountain

In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river

Near the cross, a trembling soul
Love and mercy found me
There the bright and morning star
Sheds its beams around me

In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river

Near the cross, O Lamb of God
Bring its scenes before me
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadow o’er me

In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river

Near the cross I’ll watch and wait
Hoping, trusting ever
Till I reach the golden strand
Just beyond the river

In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river

This Is My Father’s World
This is my Father’s world
And to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres

Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas

The morning light, the lily white
Declare their maker’s praise

This is my Father’s world
He shines in all that’s fair
In the rustling grass I hear him pass
He speaks to me everywhere

This is my Father’s world
O let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong
God is the ruler yet

This is my Father’s world
Why should my heart be sad
The Lord is King, let the heavens ring
God reigns, let the earth be glad

to your glory and praise.
Through Jesus. Amen.

 

Assurance of Pardon
There is now no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.

—Romans 8:1-2

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Savior Like a Shepherd Lead Us
Savior, like a shepherd lead us
Much we need thy tender care
In thy pleasant pastures feed us
For our use thy folds prepare

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus
Thou hast bought, thine we are

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus
Thou hast bought, thine we are

We are thine, thou dost befriend us
Be the guardian of our way
Keep thy flock, from sin defend us
Seek us when we go astray

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus
Hear, O hear us when we pray

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus
Hear, O hear us when we pray

Thou hast promised to receive us
Poor and sinful though we be
Thou hast mercy to relieve us
Grace to cleanse and power to free

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus
We will early turn to thee

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus
We will early turn to thee

Early let us seek thy favor
Early let us do thy will
Blessed Lord and Savior
With thy love our bosoms fill

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus
Thou hast loved us, love us still

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus
Thou hast loved us, love us still

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
