This Sunday's Order of Worship

Pastor of Missions
Adoration of God
The Song of Ascent
God’s people sang together as they gathered and traveled together up to Jerusalem to worship God.
Congregation
I Stand In Awe
You are beautiful beyond description, too marvelous for words,
Too wonderful for comprehension, like nothing ever seen or heard.
Who can grasp your infinite wisdom,
Who can fathom the depth of your love?
You are beautiful beyond description, majesty enthroned above.
And I stand, I stand in awe of you, I stand, I stand in awe of you;
Holy God, to whom all praise is due, I stand in awe of you.

Call to Worship
Psalm 20:7-8
Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
They collapse and fall,
but we rise and stand upright.
Invocation
Declaration of Truth
Heidelberg Catechism Q and A 1
Leader: What is your only comfort in life and in death?
All: That I am not my own, but belong— body and soul, in life and in death— to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ. He has fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood and has set me free from the tyranny of the devil. He also watches over me in such a way that not a hair can fall from my head without the will of my Father in heaven; in fact, all things must work together for my salvation. Because I belong to him, Christ, by his Holy Spirit, assures me of eternal life and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for him.
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
O Worship The King
O worship the King, all glorious above,
O gratefully sing his wonderful love;
Our Shield and Defender the Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.
O tell of his might, O sing of his grace;
Whose robe is the light, and canopy space!
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
And dark is his path on the wings of the storm.
The earth with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, your pow’r has founded of old;
Has ‘stablished it fast by a changeless decree,
And round it has cast, like a mantle, the sea
Your 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 distils in the dew and the rain

Hymn of Testimony
Every Promise
From the breaking of the dawn to the setting of the sun,
I will stand on ev'ry promise of your Word.
Words of power, strong to save, that will never pass away,
I will stand on ev'ry promise of your Word.
For your covenant is sure,
And on this I am secure—
I can stand on ev'ry promise of your Word.
When I stumble and I sin, condemnation pressing in,
I will stand on ev'ry promise of your Word.
You are faithful to forgive that in freedom I might live,
So I stand on ev'ry promise of your Word.
Guilt to innocence restored,
You remember sins no more—
So I'll stand on ev'ry promise of your Word.
When I'm faced with anguished choice, I will listen for your voice,
And I'll stand on ev'ry promise of your Word.
Through this dark and troubled land
You will guide me with your hand
As I stand on ev'ry promise of your Word.
And You've promised to complete
Ev'ry work begun in me—
So I'll stand on ev'ry promise of your Word.
Hope that lifts me from despair, love that casts out ev'ry fear,
As I stand on ev'ry promise of your Word.
Not forsaken, not alone, for the Comforter has come,
And I stand on ev'ry promise of your Word.
Grace sufficient, grace for me,
Grace for all who will believe—
We will stand on ev'ry promise of your Word.

Hymn of Response
My Jesus I Love Thee
My Jesus, I love thee, I know thou art mine;
For thee all the follies of sin I resign
My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art thou;
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
I love thee because thou hast first lov-ed me,
And purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree.
I love thee for wearing the thorns on thy brow;
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
I'll love thee in life, I will love thee in death;
And praise thee as long as thou lendest me breath;
And say, when the death-dew lies cold on my brow:
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
In mansions of glory and endless delight,
I'll ever adore thee in heaven so bright;
I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow:
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
