All Hail the Power of Jesus Name
All hail the power of Jesus’ name
Let angels prostrate fall
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown him Lord of all
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown him Lord of all
Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race
Ye ransomed from the fall
Hail him who saves you by his grace
And crown him Lord of all
Hail him who saves you by his grace
And crown him Lord of all
Let every kindred, every tribe
On this terrestrial ball
To him all majesty ascribe
And crown him Lord of all
To him all majesty ascribe
And crown him Lord of all
O that, with yonder sacred throng
We at his feet may fall
We’ll join the everlasting song
And crown him Lord of all
We’ll join the everlasting song
And crown him Lord of all

How Great is Our God

He wraps himself in light
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at his voice

How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
Age to age he stands
And time is in his hands

How great thou art
How great thou art
Then sings my soul
My Savior God, to thee
How great thou art

Sermon
“In the Beginning”
Genesis 1:1
Prayer of Confession
Father, your rule is just, and your love eternal.
Through your grace, you have made us your children,
but we have rebelled, turning away from you.
We have hurt ourselves and others
through our carelessness and misunderstanding.
Forgive our transgressions,
and cleanse us from unrighteousness.
Replace our fear with love, and our anxiety with trust.
Restore in us a vision of justice and peace,
that we may live in your hope and joy.
Through Jesus. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
— Romans 8:38-39
The Lord’s Supper
O Praise the Name (Anastasis)
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
