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
Come Thou Almighty King
Come, thou Almighty King, help us thy name to sing,
Help us to praise, Father, all glorious, o'er all victorious,
come, and reign over us, Ancient of Days.
Come, thou Incarnate Word, gird on thy mighty sword,
Our prayer attend, come, and thy people bless, and give thy Word success;
Spirit of holiness, on us descend.
Come, Holy Comforter, thy sacred witness bear
In this glad hour, thou who almighty art, now rule in every heart,
and ne'er from us depart, Spirit of pow'r.
To the great One in Three eternal praises be,
Hence evermore, his sovereign majesty may we in glory see,
and to eternity love and adore
Call to Worship
Isaiah 64:1-4
Oh that you would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence—as when fire kindles brushwood and the fire causes water to boil—to make your name known to your adversaries, and that the nations might tremble at your presence! When you did awesome things that we did not look for, you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence. From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear, no eye has seen a God besides you, who acts for those who wait for him.
Invocation
Declaration of Truth
Romans 8:18-25
Leader: For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.
All: For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
Leader: For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.
All: For in this hope, we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
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
Christ Our Hope In Life And Death
What is our hope in life and death? Christ alone, Christ alone
What is our only confidence? That our souls to him belong
Who holds our days within his hand? What comes, apart from his command?
And what will keep us to the end? The love of Christ, in which we stand
O sing hallelujah! Our hope springs eternal
O sing hallelujah! Now and ever we confess
Christ our hope in life and death
What truth can calm the troubled soul? God is good, God is good
Where is his grace and goodness known? In our great Redeemer’s blood
Who holds our faith when fears arise? Who stands above the stormy trial?
Who sends the waves that bring us nigh Unto the shore, the rock of Christ?
Unto the grave, what shall we sing? “Christ, he lives; Christ, he lives!”
And what reward will heaven bring? Everlasting life with him
There we will rise to meet the Lord Then sin and death will be destroyed
And we will feast in endless joy When Christ is ours forevermore.
O sing hallelujah! Our hope springs eternal
O sing hallelujah! Now and ever we confess
Christ our hope in life and death
Now and ever we confess
Christ our hope in life and death

Hymn of Testimony
Great Is Thy Faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with thee;
Thou changest not, thy compassions, they fail not;
As thou hast been, thou forever wilt be.
Great is thy faithfulness! Great is thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed thy hand hath provided;
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Hymn of Response
Spirit Of God, Descend Upon My Heart
Spirit of God, descend upon my heart;
wean it from earth through all its pulses, move;
stoop to my weakness, mighty as thou art
and make me love thee as I ought to love.
I asked no dream, no prophet ecstasies,
no sudden rending of the veil of clay,
no angel visitant, no opening skies;
but take the dimness of my soul away
Hast thou not bid us love thee, God and King?
All, all thine own soul, heart and strength and mind.
I see thy cross—there teach my heart to cling
O let me seek thee and O let me find.
Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh;
teach me the struggles of the soul to bear,
to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh;
teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.
Teach me to love thee as thine angels love,
one holy passion, filling all my frame;
The baptism of the heav’n descended Dove
my heart an altar and thy love the flame.
The Benediction and Threefold Amen
