Introit Brethren, We Have Met to Worship Brethren, we have met to worship and adore the Lord our God: Will you pray with all your power, while we try to preach the Word?

+Invocation Glorious God, source of joy and righteousness, enable us as redeemed and forgiven children evermore to rejoice in singing your praises. Grant that what we sing with our lips we may believe in our hearts, and what we believe in our hearts we may practice in our lives; so that being doers of the Word and not hearers only, we may receive everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Rev. David Graves

+Psalm 100 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the lands! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into God’s presence with singing! Know that the Lord, who made us, is God. We are the Lord’s; we are the people of God, the sheep of God’s pasture. Enter God’s gates with thanksgiving, and God’s courts with praise! Give thanks and bless God’s name! For the Lord is good; God’s steadfast love endures forever; God’s faithfulness to all generations. R

Anthem Fairest Lord Jesus Calvin Hampton Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature, O Thou of God and man the Son, Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor, Thou, my soul’s glory, joy and crown. Fair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands, robed in the blooming garb of spring; Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer, who makes the woeful heart to sing. Fair is the sunshine, fairer still the moonlight, and all the twinkling starry host; Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer than all the angels heaven can boast. Text from Muenster Gesangbuch, 1677 Chorister and Primary Choirs Hymn

Anthem How Firm a Foundation arr. Leo Nestor How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, is laid for your faith in his excellent Word! What more can he say than to you he has said, to You who for refuge to Jesus have fled. “Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed, for I am thy God, and will still give thee aid. I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.” “When through the deep waters I call thee to go, the rivers of woe shall not thee overflow. For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless, and to sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.” “The soul that on Jesus still leans for repose, I will not, I will not desert to its foes. That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I’ll never, no never, no never forsake!” Text by John Rippon Parish Adult and Youth Choirs Karen Cook, soloist Reading

Pastoral Prayer
Rev. Krewson
The Lord’s Prayer (in unison) 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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

Anthem Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing arr. Mack Wilberg Come, thou Fount of ev’ry blessing, Tune my heart to sing thy grace; streams of mercy, never ceasing call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above; Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it, Mount of thy redeeming love. Here I raise my Ebenezer, Hither by thy help I’m come; and I hope, by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home. Prone to wander Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here’s my heart, O take and seal it. Seal it for thy courts above. Jesus sought me when a stranger, wand’ring from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, Interposed his precious blood. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here’s my heart, O take and seal it, Seal it for thy courts above. O to grace how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be! Let thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wand’ring heart to Thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here’s my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above.
