I will give thanks to Thee,  O Lord, among the people.
I will sing praises to Thee among the nations.
For Thy steadfast love is great,  is great to the heavens;
And Thy faithfulness,  Thy faithfulness to the clouds.

Let Thy glory   be over all the earth.

Q & A 27

Leader:  What do you understand by the providence of God?
 
All:  Providence is the almighty and ever present power of God by which he upholds, as with his hand, heaven and earth and all creatures, and so rules them that leaf and blade, rain and drought, fruitful and lean years, food and drink, health and sickness, prosperity and poverty— all things, in fact, come to us not by chance but from his fatherly hand.
 
Gloria Patri
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.  As it was in the  beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end, Amen, Amen
 
The Gloria Patri’s first line was sung in the church as early as the 2nd century to affirm that God is Triune. The second line was added in the 4th century to emphasize the eternal Deity of Jesus, refuting the Arian heresy that Jesus was not eternally God.
 
Hymn of Praise        
God, the Uncreated One (King Forevermore)

God, the uncreated one the author of salvation
Who wrote the laws of space and time and fashioned worlds to his design
The one whom angel hosts revere hung the stars like chandeliers
Numbered every grain of sand knows the heart of every man
He is king forever  He is king forever  He is king forevermore
 
God, our fortress and our strength the rock on which we can depend
Matchless in his majesty his power and authority
Unshaken by the schemes of man never-changing, Great I AM
Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall he is faithful through it all
Crown him king forever   Crown him king forever  Crown him king forevermore
 
Mighty God in mortal flesh forsaken by a traitor's kiss
The curse of sin and centuries did pierce the lowly prince of peace
Oh lifted high, the sinless man crucified, the spotless lamb
Buried by the sons of man rescued by the father's hand
To reign as king forever  Reign as king forever  Reign as king forevermore
 
King eternal, God of grace we crown you with the highest praise
Heaven shouts and saints adore “You’re holy, holy, holy, Lord!”
What joy in everlasting life all is love and faith is sight
Justice rolls and praises rise at the name of Jesus Christ
King of kings forever  King of kings forever  King of kings forevermore

Hymn of Testimony        
God Moves in a Mysterious Way                            

God moves in a mysterious way   his wonders to perform;
he plants his footsteps in the sea,  and rides upon the storm.
 
Deep in un-fath-o-ma-ble mines  of never-failing skill
he treasures up his bright designs,  and works his sovereign will.
 
Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;   the clouds ye so much dread
are big with mercy, and shall break    in blessings on your head.
 
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,  but trust him for his grace;
behind a frowning providence   he hides a smiling face.
 
His purposes will ripen fast,   unfolding ev'ry hour;
the bud may have a bitter taste,   but sweet will be the flow'r.
 
Blind unbelief is sure to err,  and scan his work in vain;
God is his own interpreter,  and he will make it plain.
 
Proclaiming the Word of God
 
Reading of God’s Word                  
Daniel 2:1-49                      
All: The grass withers, the flowers fade, but the word of our God will stand forever.

Prayer of Application
 
Hymn of Response                  
Be Thou My Vision                                

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art--
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
 
Be Thou my wisdom, and Thou my true word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I thy true Son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one.
 
Be thou my battle shield, sword for my fight;
Be thou my dignity, thou my delight,
Thou my soul's shelter, thou my high tow'r;
Raise thou me heav'n-ward, O Pow'r of my pow'r.
 
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
 
High King of heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heav'n's Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.
 
The Benediction and Threefold Amen
