Call to Worship

Doxology 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

O Divine Redeemer, great was your goodness in undertaking our redemption, in consenting to be made sin for us, in conquering all our foes. Great was your love in manifesting yourself alive, in showing your sacred wounds, that every fear might vanish and every doubt be removed. Great was your wisdom in devising this means of salvation; bathe our souls in rich consolations of your resurrection life. O God, pardon all our sins, known and unknown, felt and unfelt, confessed and not confessed, remembered or forgotten. Help us to be a holy, happy people, free from every wrong desire, from everything contrary to your mind. Grant us more and more of the resurrection life: may it rule us, may we walk in its power and be strengthened through its influence. Amen.

The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: 1 Peter 1:3

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

Invocation

Hymn 277: Christ the Lord Is Risen Today Easter Hymn

Responsive Reading: Exodus 15:1–18 (pew Bible p. 57)

Gloria Patri Meineke

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen.

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.

Prayer of Intercession (concluding with The Lord’s Prayer)

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Offertory: Thine Be the Glory arr. J. Marty Cope/George Frideric Handel
Tenth Church Choir

Thine be the glory, risen, conqu'ring Son; endless is the vict'ry Thou o’er death hast won. Angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away, kept the folded grave-clothes where Thy body lay. Lo! Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb. Lovingly He greets us, scatters fear and gloom; let His church with gladness hymns of triumph sing, for the Lord now liveth; death hath lost its sting. No more we doubt Thee, glorious Prince of life! Life is nought without Thee; aid us in our strife; make us more than conqu'rors, through Thy deathless love; bring us safe through Jordan to Thy home above.
