Prelude

~God Calls Us to Worship Him~

Call to Worship

To the church of God; to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all

those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Praise the Lord! For it is

good to sing praises to our God; for a song of praise is fitting.

Hymn To Thee O Comforter Divine
To Thee, O Comforter divine,
For all Thy grace and power benign, Sing we Alleluia!
To Thee, whose faithful love had place
In God’s great covenant of grace, Sing we Alleluia!
To Thee, whose faithful voice doth win
The wandering from the ways of sin, Sing we Alleluia!
To Thee, whose faithful power doth heal, Enlighten, sanctify, and seal, Sing we Alleluia!
To Thee, whose faithful truth is shown,
By every promise made our own, Sing we Alleluia!
To Thee, our teacher and our friend,
Our faithful Leader to the end, Sing we Alleluia!
To Thee, by Jesus Christ sent down,
Of all His gifts the sum and crown, Sing we Alleluia! To Thee, who art with God the Son
And God the Father ever One, Sing we Alleluia!

Prayer of Worship

Song There Is a Redeemer (CCLI#251645)

There is a Redeemer, Jesus, God’s own Son, Precious Lamb of God, Messiah, Holy One. Thank You, O my
Father, for giving us Your Son;
And leaving Your Spirit ’til — the work on earth is done.
Jesus, my Redeemer, Name above all names,
Precious Lamb of God, Messiah, Hope for sinners slain. Thank You, O my Father, for giving us Your Son;
And leaving Your Spirit ’til — the work on earth is done.
When I stand in glory, I will see His face,
And there I’ll serve my King forever, in that holy place. Thank You, O my Father, for giving us Your Son;
And leaving Your Spirit ’til — the work on earth is done.
Thank You, O my Father, for giving us Your Son;
And leaving Your Spirit ’til — the work on earth is done.

~God Renews Us in Christ~

We Corporately Confess Our Sins Psalm 143

Elder

Hear our prayer, O LORD; give ear to our pleas for mercy! In your faithfulness answer us, in your righteousness!

All

Enter not into judgment with your servant, for no one living is righteous before you. For the enemy
has pursued my soul; he has crushed my life to the ground; he has made me sit in darkness like
those long dead. Therefore my spirit faints within me; my heart within me is appalled. I remember
the days of old; I meditate on all that you have done; I ponder the work of your hands. I stretch
out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Answer me quickly, O LORD! My
spirit fails! Hide not your face from me, lest I be like those who go down to the pit.

Elder

Let us hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you we trust. Make us know the way we should go, for to you we lift up our souls.

All

Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD! I have fled to you for
refuge. Teach me to do your will, for you are my God! Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground!
For your name's sake, O LORD, preserve my life! In your righteousness bring my soul out of
trouble! And in your steadfast love you will cut off my enemies, and you will destroy all the
adversaries of my soul, for I am your servant.

Pastor

How are you righteous before God?

All

Only by true faith in Jesus Christ. Although my conscience accuses me that I have grievously sinned
against all God’s commandments, have never kept any of them, and am still inclined to all evil, yet
God, without any merit of my own, out of mere grace, imputes to me the perfect satisfaction,
righteousness, and holiness of Christ. He grants these to me as if I had never had nor committed
any sin, and as if I myself had accomplished all the obedience which Christ has rendered for me, if
only I accept this gift with a believing heart.

Song: The Love of God (CCLI#251645)

The love of God is greater far Than tongue or pen can ever tell; It goes beyond the highest star,
And reaches to the lowest hell;
The guilty pair, bowed down with care, God gave His Son to win; His erring child He reconciled And
pardoned from his sin.

Refrain: Oh, love of God, how rich and pure! How measureless and strong! It shall forevermore
endure—The saints’ and angels’ song.

When hoary time shall pass away,
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,
When men who here refuse to pray,
On rocks and hills and mountains call,
God’s love so sure, shall still endure, All measureless and strong;
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race—The saints’ and angels’ song.

(Refrain)

Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the skies of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill, And every man a scribe by trade;
To write the love of God above Would drain the ocean dry;
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky. (Refrain: 2x’s)
