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
Be Exalted, O God
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.
Be exalted, O God,-- above the heav-ens;
Let thy glory be over all the earth.
Be exalted, O God,-- above the heav-ens;

Call to Worship
Isaiah 12:2-3
Behold, God is my salvation;
I will trust, and will not be afraid;
for the Lord God is my strength and my song,
and he has become my salvation.
Invocation
Declaration of Truth
Heidelberg Catechism Q & A 59 and 61
Leader: What good does it do you, however, to believe all this?
All: In Christ, I am right with God and heir to life everlasting.
Leader: Why do you say that by faith alone you are right with God?
All: It is not because of any value my faith has that God is pleased with me. Only Christ’s satisfaction, righteousness, and holiness make me right with God. And I can receive this righteousness and make it mine in no other way than by faith alone.
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
Jesus Shall Reign
Jesus shall reign where'er the sun does his successive journeys run
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore 'til suns shall rise and set no more
Blessings abound where'er he reigns the prisoner leaps to lose his chain
The weary find eternal rest and all the sons of want are blessed
To our King be highest praise rising through eternal days
Just and faithful he shall reign
Jesus shall reign
People and realms of every tongue dwell on His love with sweetest song
And infant voices shall proclaim their early praising of his name
To our King be highest praise rising through eternal days
Just and faithful he shall reign
Jesus shall reign
Let every creature rise and bring blessing and honor to our king
Angels descend with songs again and earth repeat the loud amen
To our King be highest praise rising through eternal days
Just and faithful he shall reign
Jesus shall reign

Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Praise him, all creatures here below.

Hymn of Testimony
To God Be the Glory
To God be the glory, great things he has done!
So loved he the world that he gave us his Son,
Who yielded his life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate that we may go in.
Refrain:
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Let the earth hear his voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father through Jesus the Son,
And give him the glory, great things he has done!
O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood!
To ev'ry believer the promise of God;
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus forgiveness receives.
Great things he has taught us, great things he has done,
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
But purer, and higher, and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.

The Church’s One Foundation
The church's one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord;
she is his new creation by water and the Word.
From heaven he came and sought her to be his holy bride;
with his own blood he bought her, and for her life he died.
Elect from every nation, yet one o'er all the earth;
her charter of salvation, one Lord, one faith, one birth;
one holy name she blesses, partakes one holy food,
and to one hope she presses, with every grace endued.
Though with a scornful wonder men see her sore oppressed,
by schisms rent asunder, by heresies distressed,
yet saints their watch are keeping; their cry goes up, "How long?"
And soon the night of weeping shall be the morn of song.
The church shall never perish! Her dear Lord to defend,
To guide, sustain and cherish Is with her to the end;
Though there be those that hate her, And false sons in her pale,
Against or foe or traitor She ever shall prevail.
Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war,
she waits the consummation of peace forevermore;
till, with the vision glorious, her longing eyes are blest,
and the great church victorious shall be the church at rest.
Yet she on earth hath union with God the Three in One,
and mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won.
O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we
like them, the meek and lowly, on high may dwell with thee.
The Benediction and Threefold Amen
