Call to Worship
Praise the Lord from the earth,
you great sea creatures and all ocean depths,
lightning and hail, snow and clouds,
stormy winds that do his bidding,
you mountains and all hills,
fruit trees and all cedars,
wild animals and all cattle,
small creatures and flying birds,
kings of the earth and all nations,
you princes and all rulers on earth,
young men and women,
old men and children.
Let them praise the name of the Lord,
for his name alone is exalted;
his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.
—Psalm 148:7-13
All Creatures of our God and King
All creatures of our God and King
Lift up your voice and with us sing
O praise him, alleluia
Thou burning sun with golden beam
Thou silver moon with softer gleam
O praise him, O praise him
Alleluia, allleuia, alleluia
Thou rushing wind that art so strong
Ye clouds that sail in heaven along
O praise him, alleluia
Thou rising morn in praise rejoice
Ye lights of heaven find a voice
O praise him, O praise him
Alleluia, alleluia, alleuia
Thou flowing water, pure and clear
Make music for thy Lord to hear
O praise him, alleluia
Thou fire so masterful and bright
That givest man both warmth and light
O praise him, O praise him
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Let all things their Creator bless
And worship him in humbleness
O praise him, alleluia
Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son
And praise the Spirit, Three in One
O praise him, O praise him
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations
Gifts — He Will Hold Me Fast
When I fear my faith will fail
Christ will hold me fast
When the tempter would prevail
He will hold me fast
I could never keep my hold
Through life’s fearful path
For my love is often cold
He must hold me fast
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
For my Savior loves me so
He will hold me fast
Those he saves are his delight
Christ will hold me fast
Precious in his holy sight
He will hold me fast
He’ll not let my soul be lost
His promises shall last
Bought by him at such a cost
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
For my Savior loves me so
He will hold me fast
For my life he bled and died
Christ will hold me fast
Justice has been satisfied
He will hold me fast
Raised with him to endless life
He will hold me fast
Till our faith is turned to sight
When he comes at last
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
For my Savior loves me so
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
For my Savior loves me so
He will hold me fast
For my Savior loves me so
He will hold me fast

Sermon
“Why We Don’t Have To Be Afraid”
Revelation 1:9-20
Prayer of Confession
Father, you know how you have formed us.
You know the desires that war inside us.
We confess that we do not always love what is good.
We are charmed by evil, and do not run from it.
We indulge our freedom to please ourselves,
instead of serving others.
Have mercy on us and forgive us.
Enable us by your Spirit to live with patient endurance
as we wait for our redemption in Jesus.
We pray in his name. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon
Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
—Romans 5:1
The Lord’s Supper
O Praise the Name
I cast my mind to Calvary
Where Jesus bled and died for me
I see his wounds, his hands, his feet
My Savior on that cursed tree
His body bound and drenched in tears
They laid him down in Joseph’s tomb
The entrance sealed by heavy stone
Messiah still and all alone
O praise the name of the Lord our God
O praise his name forever more
For endless days we will sing your praise
O Lord, O Lord our God
Then on the third at break of dawn
The Son of heaven rose again
O trampled death, where is your sting
The angels roar for Christ the King
O praise the name of the Lord our God
O praise his name forever more
For endless days we will sing your praise
O Lord, O Lord our God
He shall return in robes of white
The blazing Son shall pierce the night
And I will rise among the saints
My gaze transfixed on Jesus’ face
O praise the name of the Lord our God
O praise his name forever more
For endless days we will sing your praise
O Lord, O Lord our God
O Lord, O Lord our God
