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

Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Maker of all things, Judge of all men; we acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness, which we have from time to time committed by thought, word, and deed against your divine majesty, provoking most justly your wrath and indignation against us. We do earnestly repent and are heartily sorry for our misdoings; they are grievous unto us. Have mercy upon us, most merciful Father, for your Son our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake; forgive us all that is past, and grant that hereafter we may serve and please you in newness of life, to the honor and glory of your holy name, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: Colossians 1:13–14

He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Invocation

Hymn 166: Wondrous King, All-Glorious Wunderbarer König

Responsive Reading: Psalm 137 (pew Bible p. 521)

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.

Hymn 648: My Jesus, I Love Thee Caritas

Offertory: I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say (9am) arr. Dale Wood

All My Hope on God Is Founded (11am) Herbert Howells
Tenth Church Choir

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 be buildeth, tower and temple, fall to dust. But God's power, hour by hour, is my temple and my tower. God's great goodness aye endureth, deep his wisdom, passing thought: splendor, light, and life attend Him, beauty springeth out of naught. Ever more 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.
