Prelude

All My Hope on God Is Founded Herbert Howells/arr. John Rutter

All my hope on God is founded; He doth still my trust renew. Me through change and chance He guideth, only good and only true. God unknown, He alone calls my heart to be His own.

Pride of man and earthly glory, sword and crown betray His trust; what with care and toil He buildeth, tower and temple, fall to dust. But God’s power, hour by hour, is my temple and my tower.

God’s great goodness ever endureth, deep His wisdom, passing thought: splendor, light, and life attend Him, beauty springeth out of naught. Evermore from His store newborn worlds rise and adore.

Daily doth th’Almighty Giver bounteous gifts on us bestow; His desire our soul delighteth, pleasure leads us where we go. Love doth stand at His hand; joy doth wait on His command.

Still from man to God eternal sacrifice of praise be done; high above all praises, praising for the gift of Christ His Son. Christ doth call one and all: ye who follow shall not fall.

My Eternal King Jane Marshall

My God, I love Thee; not because I hope for heaven thereby, nor yet because who love Thee not must die eternally. Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me upon the cross embrace; for me didst nails and spear, and manifold disgrace. Why, then why, O blessed Jesus Christ, should I not love Thee well? Not for the hope of winning heaven or of escaping hell; not with the hope of gaining aught, not seeking a reward; but as Thyself hast loved me, O ever-loving Lord! E’en so, I love Thee, and will love, and in Thy praise will sing; solely because Thou art my God, and my Eternal King.

Call to Worship

•Doxology (Trinity Hymnal 731) Old Hundredth

Praise God from Whom all blessings flow; praise Him, all creatures here below;

Praise Him above, ye heav’nly host; praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

•Prayer of Confession

Our God and Creator, we poor sinners confess before You that we have sinned gravely in various ways against You, not only with outward sins, but much more with internal, innate blindness, unbelief, doubts, faintheartedness, impatience, pride, evil, greed, secret envy, hatred and jealousy, as well as other evil emotions. You, our Lord and God, recognize this in us very well, but sadly we cannot recognize them sufficiently. We feel sorrow and regret for them and wholeheartedly desire grace through Your dear Son Jesus Christ, in Whose name we pray. Amen.

•The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: John 3:16

•Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into ­­heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.
