PREPARATION FOR WORSHIP Great Is The Lord --arr. James Koerts

WELCOME

HYMN NO. 482 Baptized in Water --BUNESSAN
Baptized in water, sealed by the Spirit, cleansed by the blood of Christ our King;
heirs of salvation, trusting the promise, faithfully now God’s praises we sing.
Baptized in water, sealed by the Spirit, dead in the tomb with Christ our King;
one with his rising, freed and forgiven, thankfully now God’s praises we sing.
Baptized in water, sealed by the Spirit, marked with the sign of Christ our King;
born of the Spirit, we are God’s children, joyfully now God’s praises we sing.

PRAYERS OF THANKSGIVING AND INTERCESSION, AND THE LORD’S PRAYER
...Our Father, who art in heaven; hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

HYMN NO. 610-- O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing-- AZMON
O for a thousand tongues to sing my dear Redeemer’s praise, the glories of my God and King, the triumphs of God’s grace! The name of Jesus charms our fears, and bids our sorrows cease, sings music in the sinner’s ears, brings life, and health, and peace. Christ speaks, and listening to his voice new life the dead receive; the mournful waken to rejoice; the poor in heart believe. My gracious Master and my God, assist me to proclaim, to spread through all the earth abroad the honors of thy name. To God all glory, praise, and love be now and ever given by saints below and saints above, the church in earth and heaven.
