The Call To Worship Psalm 150:1-2

The Hymn 21 SING PRAISE TO THE LORD! LAUDATE DOMINUM

The Prayer of Invocation and the Lord’s Prayer

The Gloria Patri Hymnal Page 735

The Confession of Faith The Nicene Creed (Hymnal-inside back cover)

The Commandment Exodus 20:16 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.”

The Confession of Sin and Supplication for Grace Almighty God, who brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ, we humbly acknowledge that we have not lived in a manner worthy of Your re-deeming grace. You have raised us up with Christ who is seated at Your right hand. You have commanded us to set our minds on things above and not on the things of earth. Yet we have transgressed Your laws by loving ourselves more than You, our God, or our neighbors. We are so easily caught up in the materialism of our day, worshipping the creature and the creation, rather than You, our Creator. Thus, do we forget Your mighty victory over sin and death. Have mercy on us, O God. Deliver us from immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which is idolatry. Do not leave us to ourselves but send Your Spirit that we may live above this fallen world, and show forth Your resurrec-tion power. In the exalted name of our risen Savior, Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

The Scriptural Assurance of Pardon Romans 6:5, 6 For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, that our body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.

The Receiving of Tithes and Offerings

The Offertory Anthem NOW THANK WE ALL OUR GOD Willan Now thank we all our God, with hearts and hands and voices. Who won-drous things hath done, in whom His world rejoices. Who from our mothers’ arms hath blessed us on our way, with countless gifts of love, and still is ours today. O may this bounteous God through all our life be near us. With ever joyful hearts and blessed peace to cheer us. And keep us in His grace and guide us when perplexed, and free us from all ills in this world and the next. All praise and thanks to God, the Father now be given. The Son and Him who reigns with them in highest heaven. The one eternal God, whom earth and heaven adore. For thus it was, is now, and shall be evermore. Amen.

“I Asked the Lord that I Might Grow”

I asked the Lord that I might grow In faith, and love, and every grace; Might more of His salvation know, And seek, more earnestly, His face.

’Twas He who taught me thus to pray, And He, I trust, has answered prayer!

But it has been in such a way, As almost drove me to despair.

I hoped that in some favored hour, At once He’d answer my request;

And by His love’s constraining pow’r, Subdue my sins, and give me rest.

Instead of this, He made me feel The hidden evils of my heart;

And let the angry pow’rs of hell Assault my soul in every part.

Yea more, with His own hand He seemed Intent to aggravate my woe;

Crossed all the fair designs I schemed, Blasted my gourds, and laid me low.

Lord, why is this, I trembling cried, Wilt thou pursue thy worm to death?

“’Tis in this way, the Lord replied, I answer prayer for grace and faith.

These inward trials I employ, From self, and pride, to set thee free; And break thy schemes of earthly joy,

That thou may’st find thy all in Me.”
