For the Beauty of the Earth
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise
For the beauty of the earth
For the glory of the skies
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise
For the beauty of each hour
Of the day and of the night
Hill and vale, and tree and flower
Sun and moon, and stars of light
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise
For the joy of human love
Brother, sister, parent, child
Friends on earth and friends above
For all gentle thoughts and mild
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise
For each perfect gift of thine
To our race so freely given
Graces human and divine
Peace on earth and joy in heaven
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise

Rescuer
He’s our Rescuer
He’s our Rescuer
We are free from sin forevermore
Oh how sweet the sound Oh how grace abounds
We will praise the Lord our Rescuer
There is good news for the captive
Good news for the shamed
There is good news
For the one who walked away
There is good news for the doubter
The one religion failed
For the good Lord has come to seek and save
He’s our Rescuer… hey!
He’s our Rescuer… hey!
We are free from sin forevermore
Oh how sweet the sound… hey!
Oh how grace abounds… hey!
We will praise the Lord our Rescuer
He is beauty for the blind man
Riches for the poor
He is friendship for the one the world ignores
He is pasture for the weary
Rest for those who strive
Oh the good Lord is the way, the truth, the life
Yes the good Lord is the way, the truth, the life
He’s our Rescuer… hey!
He’s our Rescuer… hey!
We are free from sin forevermore
Oh how sweet the sound… hey!
Oh how grace abounds… hey!
We will praise the Lord our Rescuer
So come and be chainless
Come and be fearless
Come to the foot of Calvary
There is redemption for every affliction
Here at the foot of Calvary
So come and be chainless
Come and be fearless
Come to the foot of Calvary
There is redemption for every affliction
Here at the foot of Calvary
He’s our Rescuer… hey!
He’s our Rescuer… hey!
We are free from sin forevermore
Oh how sweet the sound… hey!
Oh how grace abounds… hey!
We will praise the Lord our Rescuer

O Come, O Come Emmanuel
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, thou Key of David, come
And open wide our heav’nly home
Make safe the way that leads on high
And close the path to misery
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death’s dark shadows put to flight
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel
O, come, Desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of all mankind
O, bid our sad divisions cease
And be thyself our King of peace
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel

Sermon
“Loving Others Where They Are”
Acts 17:22-34
A Litany of Thanks
Great God, for all that is gracious in our lives,
revealing the image of Christ, we give you thanks.
For our daily food and drink,
our homes, our families, and our friends,
we give you thanks.
For minds to think, hearts to love,
and hands to serve, we give you thanks.
For health and strength to work,
and leisure to rest and play,
we give you thanks.
For the strength you provide in our weakness.
For the good you bring out of our pain,
and the grace you provide in our brokenness.
For the great mercies and promises of the gospel,
given to us in Christ Jesus our Lord;
To you, O God, be praise and glory. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon
He does away with the first in order to establish the second. And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
—Hebrew 10:9b-10
The Lord’s Supper
For the Lamb
On a shameful day he died
In the sorrow of defeat
But forgiveness was his cry
As his blood ran down for me
How the Father’s heart was torn
As his only Son was slain
But the earth would soon rejoice
From the place where hope was lain
For the Lamb has overcome
Everlasting love has won
In eternal praise we will lift him up
For the Lamb has overcome the world
By his Spirit we are raised
To the fullness of new life
In a moment we’ll be changed
And forever glorified
For the Lamb has overcome
Everlasting love has won
In eternal praise we will lift him up
For the Lamb has overcome the world
Most high and lifted up
Be glorified forever
Jesus has overcome
Declare it now together
Most high and lifted up
Be glorified forever
Jesus has overcome
Declare it now together
For the Lamb has overcome
Everlasting love has won
In eternal praise we will lift him up
For the Lamb has overcome the world
For the Lamb has overcome
Everlasting love has won
In eternal praise we will lift him up
For the Lamb has overcome the world
For the Lamb has overcome the world
For the Lamb has overcome the world
