Call to Worship – Psalm 86:8-12

All read together:

8 There is none like you among the gods, O Lord,
nor are there any works like yours.
9 All the nations you have made shall come
and worship before you, O Lord,
and shall glorify your name.
10 For you are great and do wondrous things;
you alone are God.
11 Teach me your way, O Lord,
that I may walk in your truth;
unite my heart to fear your name.
12 I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart,
and I will glorify your name forever.

Hymn of Adoration – How Great Thou Art

  1. O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder
    Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made,
    I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
    Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

    Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee;
    How great Thou art!
    How great Thou art!
    Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee;
    How great Thou art!
    How great Thou art!

  2. When through the woods and forest glades I wander,
    And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
    When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur,
    And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze:

  3. And when I think that God, His Son not sparing,
    Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
    That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
    He bled and died to take away my sin.

  4. When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
    And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
    Then I shall bow in humble adoration,
    And there proclaim: my God, how great Thou art!

Scripture Reading – Psalm 78:1-4

Leader Reads:

1 Give ear, O my people, to my teaching;
incline your ears to the words of my mouth!
2 I will open my mouth in a parable;
I will utter dark sayings from of old,
3 things that we have heard and known,
that our fathers have told us.
4 We will not hide them from their children,
but tell to the coming generation
the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might,
and the wonders that he has done.

Hymn of Assurance – By Faith

  1. By faith we see the hand of God
    In the light of creation’s grand design.
    In the lives of those who prove His faithfulness,
    Who walk by faith and not by sight

  2. By faith our fathers roamed the earth,
    With the pow’r of His promise in their hearts,
    Of a holy city build by God’s own hand,
    A place where peace and justice reign.

    We will stand as children of the promise;
    We will fix our eyes on Him, our soul’s reward;
    Till the race is finished and the work is done.
    We’ll walk by faith and not by sight.

  3. By faith the prophets saw a day
    When the longed for Messiah would appear,
    With the pow’r to break the chains of sin and death,
    And rise triumphant from the grave.

  4. By faith the church was called to go
    In the pow’r of the Spirit to the lost.
    To deliver captives and to preach good news
    In ev’ry corner of the earth.

  5. By faith this mountain shall be moved,
    And the pow’r of the gospel shall prevail;
    For we know in Christ all things are possible
    For all who call upon His name.

Hymn of Response – He Leadeth Me! O Blessed Thought

  1. He leadeth me! O blessed tho’t!
    O words with heav’nly comfort fraught!
    Whate’er I do, where’er I be,
    Still ‘tis God’s hand that leadeth me!

    He leadeth me, he leadeth me,
    By His own hand He leadeth me:
    His faithful foll’wer I would be,
    For by His hand He leadeth me.

  2. Sometimes ‘mid scenes of deepest gloom,
    Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom,
    By waters still, o’er troubled sea,
    Still ‘tis His hand that leadeth me!

  3. And when my task on earth is done,
    When, by Thy grace, the vict’ry’s won,
    E’en death’s cold wave I will not flee,
    Since God thro’ Jordan leadeth me!

Benediction
