Prelude

My Shepherd Will Supply My Need arr. Virgil Thomson

My Shepherd will supply my need. Jehovah is his Name. In pastures fresh he makes me feed beside the living stream. He brings my wand’ring spirit back when I forsake his ways. He leads me for his mercy’s sake in paths of truth and grace. When I walk through the shades of death thy presence is my stay. One word of thy supporting breath drives all my fears away. Thy hand in sight of all my foes doth still my table spread. My cup with blessings overflows, thine oil anoints my head. The sure provisions of my God attend me all my days. O may thy house be my abode and all my work be praise.

O Savior, Hear Me Christoph Gluck

O savior hear me, I implore thee, in thee alone can peace be found, thou canst sustain and thou restore me whate’er the cares that hover round. Hear my supplication. Turn on me thy loving eyes, O turn on my thy loving eyes; Lord I long for thy salvation, and would fain attain the prize. When cares of earth to me seem heavy, heartsore I seek of thee relief, thy grace remaineth ever ready to soothe my pain, to assuage my grief.

Offertory: My Worth Is Not in What I Own Keith & Kristyn Getty/Graham Kendrick

My worth is not in what I own, not in the strength of flesh and bone, but in the costly wounds of love at the cross. My worth is not in skill or name, in win or lose in pride or shame, but in the blood of Christ that flowed at the cross. I rejoice in my Redeemer, greatest treasure, wellspring of my soul; I will trust in Him, no other, my soul is satisfied in him alone. As summer flowers we fade and die, fame youth and beauty hurry by, but life eternal calls to us at the cross. I will not boast in wealth or might, or human wisdom’s fleeting light, but I will boast in knowing Christ at the cross. Two wonders here that I confess, my worth and my unworthiness, my value fixed, my ransom paid, at the cross.

Sharon Neff, soprano

Question of Preparation (from the Heidelberg Catechism; congregation reads answer in unison)

Question: Why are you called a Christian?

Answer: Because by faith I am a member of Christ and so I share in his anointing. I am anointed to confess his name, to present myself to him as a living sacrifice of thanks, to strive with a good conscience against sin and the devil in this life, and afterward to reign with Christ over all creation for all eternity.
