Call to Worship          
Revelation 1:5b-7
To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
 
Invocation
 
Declaration of Truth                                      
Westminster Confession of Faith, 26:1

All saints—who are united to Jesus Christ their head by his Spirit and by faith—have fellowship with him in his graces, sufferings, death, resurrection, and glory. And, being united to one another in love, they participate in each other's gifts and graces and are obligated to perform those public and private duties which lead to their mutual good, both inwardly and outwardly.
 
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                    
Come, Christians, Join To Sing

Come, Christians, join to sing Alleluia! Amen!
loud praise to Christ our King; Alleluia! Amen!
let all, with heart and voice, before His throne rejoice;
praise is His gracious choice.  Alleluia! Amen!
 
Come, lift your hearts on high,  Alleluia! Amen!
let praises fill the sky;  Alleluia! Amen!
he is our Guide and Friend;  to us he’ll condescend;
his love shall never end. Alleluia! Amen!
Praise yet our Christ again, Alleluia! Amen!
Life shall not end the strain;  Alleluia! Amen!
on heaven’s blissful shore, his goodness we’ll adore,
singing forevermore, "Alleluia! Amen!”

Hymn of Testimony        
Crown Him With Many Crowns

Crown him with many crowns,
the Lamb upon his throne;
Hark! how the heav'nly anthem drowns
all music but its own:
Awake, my soul, and sing of him who died for thee,
And hail him as thy matchless King through all eternity.
 
Crown him the Lord of love;
behold his hands and side,
Rich wounds, yet visible above,
in beauty glorified:
No angel in the sky can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends his burning eye at mysteries so bright.
 
Crown him the Lord of peace;
whose pow'r a scepter sways
From pole to pole, that wars may cease,
absorbed in prayer and praise:
His reign shall know no end; and round his pierced feet
Fair flow'rs of paradise extend their fragrance ever sweet.
 
Crown him the Lord of years,
the Potentate of time;
Creator of the rolling spheres,
ineffably sublime:
All hail, Redeemer, hail! for thou hast died for me:
Thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity.

Hymn of Response          
Blessing And Honor And Glory And Power

Blessing and honor and glory and power,
Wisdom and riches and strength evermore
Give ye to him Who our battle hath won
Whose are the kingdom, the crown, and the throne.
 
Soundeth the heaven of the heavens with his Name;
Ringeth the earth with his glory and fame;
Ocean and mountain, stream, forest, and flower
Echo his praises and tell of his power.
 
Ever ascendeth the song and the joy;
Ever descendeth the love from on high;
Blessing and honor and glory and praise,
This is the theme of the hymns that we raise.
 
Give we the glory and praise to the Lamb;
Take we the robe and the harp and the palm;
Sing we the song of the Lamb that was slain,
Dying in weakness, but rising to reign.
 
The Benediction and Threefold Amen
