*HYMN
“O Worship the King”
R. Grant /
attr. J.M. Haydn; arr W. Gardiner
O worship the King, all glorious above,
O gratefully sing God’s power and God’s love;
Our Shield and Defender,
the Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendor,
and girded with praise.
O tell of God’s might, O sing of God’s grace,
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space,
Whose chariots of wrath
the deep thunderclouds form,
And dark is God’s path
on the wings of the storm.
The earth with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old
Hath stablished it fast
by a changeless decree,
And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea.
Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
It streams from the hills,
it descends to the plain,
And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.
Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;
Thy mercies how tender,
how firm to the end,
Our Maker, Defender,
Redeemer, and Friend.
*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 Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day He arose from the dead;
He ascended into heaven, and sitteth at 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 Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen

*HYMN
“Our Great Savior”
Chapman / Prichard arr. Harkness
Jesus! What a Friend for Sinners!
Jesus! Lover of my soul;
Friends may fail me, foes assail me,
He, my Savior, makes me whole.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Hallelujah! What a Friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving,
He is with me to the end.
Jesus! What a Strength in weakness!
Let me hide myself in Him;
Tempted, tried, and sometimes failing,
He, my Strength, my vict’ry wins.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Hallelujah! What a Friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving,
He is with me to the end.
Jesus! What a Help in sorrow!
While the billows o’er me roll,
Even when my heart is breaking,
He, my Comfort, helps my soul.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Hallelujah! What a Friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving,
He is with me to the end.
Jesus! What a Guide and Keeper!
While the tempest still is high,
Storms about me, night o’ertakes me,
He, my Pilot, hears my cry.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Hallelujah! What a Friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving,
He is with me to the end.
Jesus! I do now receive Him,
more than all in Him I find;
He hath granted me forgiveness;
I am His, and He is mine.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Hallelujah! What a Friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving,
He is with me to the end.
ANTHEM
“O, How Amiable”
R. Vaughan Williams
O, how amiable are thy dwellings,
thou Lord of hosts!
My soul hath a desire and longing,
To enter into the courts of the Lord.
My heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God.
Yea, the sparrow hath found her a house,
And the swallow a nest
where she may lay her young.
Even Thy altars, O Lord of hosts,
My King and my God.
Blessed are they that dwell in Thy house,
They will be alway praising Thee!
The glorious Majesty of the Lord our God
be upon us;
Prosper Thou the work of our hands upon us!
O prosper now our handywork.
O, God our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home.
SERMON

*CLOSING HYMN
“The Church’s One Foundation”
S.J. Stone / S.S. Wesley
The church’s one foundation
is Jesus Christ her Lord;
She is his new creation
by water and the Word.
From heaven he came and sought her
to be his holy bride;
With his own blood he bought her,
and for her life he died.
Elect from every nation,
yet one o’er all the earth;
Her charter of salvation,
one Lord, one faith, one birth;
One holy name she blesses,
partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses,
with every grace endued.
Though with a scornful wonder
we see her sore oppressed,
By schisms rent asunder,
by heresies distressed,
Yet saints their watch are keeping;
their cry goes up, “How long?”
And soon the night of weeping
shall be the morn of song.
Mid toil and tribulation,
and tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
of peace forevermore;
Till, with the vision glorious,
her longing eyes are blest,
And the great church victorious
shall be the church at rest.
Yet she on earth hath union
with God the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion
with those whose rest is won.
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we
Like them, the meek and lowly,
on high may dwell with thee.
BENEDICTION
Amen
P. Lutkin
