*HYMN
“This is My Father’s World”
M. Babcock/trad. English Melody
This is my Father’s world,
And to my list’ning ears
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres.
This is my Father’s world:
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas—
His hand the wonders wrought.
This is my Father’s world:
The birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white,
Declare their Maker’s praise.
This is my Father’s world:
He shines in all that’s fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass,
He speaks to me everywhere.
This is my Father’s world:
Oh, let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father’s world:
why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King; let the heavens ring!
God reigns; let the earth be glad!
*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

“Fill Me Now”
E.H. Stokes / J.R. Sweney
Hover o’er me, Holy Spirit,
Bathe my trembling heart and brow;
Fill me with Thy hallow’d presence,
Come, O come and fill me now.
Fill me now, fill me now,
Jesus, come and fill me now;
Fill me with Thy hallowed presence —
Come, O come and fill me now.
Thou canst fill me, gracious Spirit,
Tho I cannot tell Thee how;
But I need Thee, greatly need Thee,
Come, O come and fill me now. (refrain)
Fill me now, fill me now,
Jesus, come and fill me now;
Fill me with Thy hallowed presence —
Come, O come and fill me now.
I am weakness, full of weakness,
At Thy sacred feet I bow;
Blest, divine, eternal Spirit,
Fill with pow’r, and fill me now. (refrain)
Fill me now, fill me now,
Jesus, come and fill me now;
Fill me with Thy hallowed presence —
Come, O come and fill me now.
Cleanse and comfort, bless and save me,
Bathe, O bathe my heart and brow;
Thou art comforting and saving,
Thou art sweetly filling now. (refrain)

ANTHEM
“How Great Thou Art”
arr. Dan Forrest
O Lord my God! O Lord my God!
How great Thou Art!
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 pow’r 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!
When through the woods and forest glades I wander and hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees; Then sings my soul, how great Thou art!
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur, and hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze. Then sings my soul, how great Thou art!
And when I think that God, His Son not sparing, sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; Then sings my soul, how great Thou art. That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin! Then sings my soul, How great Thou art! My God, how great Thou art!
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!”
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: O Lord my God, my God! How great Thou art!

*CLOSING HYMN
“Lead On, O King Eternal”
E. Shurtleff / H. Smart
Lead on, O King eternal,
the day of march has come;
Henceforth in fields of conquest
Thy tents shall be our home.
Through days of preparation
Thy grace has made us strong;
And now, O King eternal, we lift our battle song.
Lead on, O King eternal,
till sin’s fierce war shall cease,
And holiness shall whisper
the sweet amen of peace.
For not with swords loud clashing,
nor roll of stirring drums;
with deeds of love and mercy
the heavenly kingdom comes.
Lead on, O King eternal,
we follow, not with fears,
For gladness breaks like morning
where’er Thy face appears.
Thy cross is lifted o’er us, we journey in its light;
The crown awaits the conquest;
lead on, O God of might.
