"Come, let us sing for the joy of the Lord;
let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before Him with thanksgiving
and extol him with music and song.
For the Lord is the great God,
the great King above all gods."

Our God and King
-Francis of Assisi
Arr. by Ralph Vaughn Williams

1 - All creatures of our God and King,
Lift up your voice and with us sing:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
O burning sun with golden beam
And silver moon with softer gleam:
Oh, praise Him! Oh, praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
2 - O rushing wind and breezes soft,
O clouds that ride the winds aloft:
Oh, praise Him! Alleluia!
O rising morn, in praise rejoice,
O lights of evening, find a voice.
Oh, praise Him! Oh, praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
3 - O flowing waters, pure and clear,
Make music for your Lord to hear.
Oh, praise Him! Alleluia!
O fire so masterful and bright,
Providing us with warmth and light,
Oh, praise Him! Oh, praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
4 - Let all things their Creator bless,
And worship Him in humbleness,
Oh, praise Him! Alleluia!
Oh, praise the Father, praise the Son,
And praise the Spirit, three in One!
Oh, praise Him! Oh, praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Hymn #695, Doxology

Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
Praise Him all creatures here below.
Praise Him above ye Heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Amen.

Hymn #86, How Great Thou Art
-Psalm 148:1-2, Thomas Ken

1 - O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works Thy hands have made,
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,
Thy pow’r thro’out the universe displayed.
(Refrain) - Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee;
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

2 - When thro’ 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!

Hymn #73, Holy, Holy, Holy
-Revelation 4:8-11, Reginald Heber

1 - (all) Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty!
God in three persons, blessed Trinity.

2 - (women) Holy, holy, holy! Angels adore Thee,
Casting down their bright crowns around the glassy sea;
Thousands and ten thousands worship low before Thee,
Which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.

3 - (men) Holy, holy, holy! Though darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of man Thy great glory may not see;
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, in love and purity.

4 - (all) Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy name, in earth, and sky, and sea;
Holy, holy, holy; merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

II - GOD MINISTERS TO US

Pastoral Reflection - Alex Bryan

*Hymn #240, Fairest Lord Jesus
-Gesangbuch Munster
Arr. by Richard S. Willis

1 - Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature,
O Thou God and man the Son!
Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honour,
Thou art my glory, joy and crown.

2 - 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.

3 - 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.

4 - Beautiful Saviour, Lord of the nations,
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and honour, praise, adoration,
Now and forevermore be Thine!

Hymn #483, I Need Thee Every Hour
-Robert Lowry and Annie S. Hawkes

1 - I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord;
no tender voice like Thine can peace afford.
Refrain - I need Thee, O I need Thee;
every hour I need Thee;
O bless me now, my Savior, I come to Thee.
*(Choir continues and closes the hymn.)

Hymn #190, Jesus Loves Me
-Proverbs 8:17, Anna B. Warner

1 - Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak but He is strong.
(Refrain) - Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus loves me,
The Bible tells me so.
2- Jesus loves me! He wo died
Heaven’s gate to open wide:
He will wash away my sin,
Let His little child come in.
3- Jesus, take this heart of mine,
Make it pure and wholly thine;
On the cross You died for me,
I will love and live for Thee.

Pastoral Reflection - Alex Bryan

Hymn #108, Amazing Grace
-John Newton

1 - Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
was blind, but now I see.

2 - ‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed.

3 - The Lord has promised good to me,
his word my hope secures;
he will my shield and portion be,
as long as life endures.

4 - Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
’tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.

5 - When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
bright shining as the sun,
we’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
than when we first begun.

III - SERVING GOD

Pastoral Reflection - Alex Bryan

*Hymn
King of Glory, King of Peace
-John Newton
Stanzas 1 and 2 (choir), Stanza 3 (all)

1 - King of glory, King of peace,
I will love thee; and that love may never cease,
I will move thee. Thou has granted my request,
thou hast heard me;
thou didst note my working breast, thou hast spared me.

2 - Wherefore with my utmost art, I will love thee
and that love may never cease, I will move thee.
Though my sins against me cried, thou didst clear me;
and alone when they replied, thou didst hear me.

3 - Seven whole days, not one in seven, I will praise thee;
in my heart, though not in heaven, I can raise thee.
Small it is in this poor sort to enroll thee;
e'en eternity's too short to extol thee.

Hymn #330, Take My Life
-Frances Ridley Havergal

1 - (all) Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love;
At the impulse of Thy love.
2 - (men) Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee.
Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King;
Always, only, for my King.
3 - (women) Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee.
Take my silver and my gold:
Not a mite would I withhold;
Not a mite would I withhold.
4 - (all) Take my will, and make it Thine,
It shall be no longer mine;
Take my heart, it is Thine own,
It shall be Thy royal throne.
It shall be Thy royal throne.
5 - (all) Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store;
Take myself, and I will be,
Ever, only, all for Thee.
Ever, only, all for Thee.

Hymn #16, All People That
on Earth Do Dwell
-Psalm 100, William Kethe

1 - (all) All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;
Him serve with fear, his praise forth tell,
Come ye before him, and rejoice.

2 - (all) The Lord, ye know, is God indeed,
Without our aid he did us make;
We are his folk, he doth us feed,
And for his sheep he doth us take.

3 - (choir) O enter then his gates with praise,
Approach with joy his courts unto;
Praise, laud, and bless his name always,
For it is seemly so to do.

4 - (choir) For why? The lord our God is good:
His mercy is forever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.

5 - (all) To Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
The God whom heaven and earth adore,
From men and from the angel host
Be praise and glory evermore.

Benediction - Alex Bryan
