Morning Liturgy

 

Welcome and Announcements

Call to Worship.

 

Leader: Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth!

People: I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to

you among the nations.

 

Leader: For your steadfast love is great to the heavens, your faithfulness to the

clouds.

People: Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth!

TH #98  “Now Thank We All Our God”

 

Now thank we all our God

with heart and hands and voices,

who wondrous things hath done,

in whom his world rejoices;

who from our mothers' arms,

hath blessed us on our way

with countless gifts of love,

and still is ours today.

 

O may this bounteous God

through all our life be near us,

with ever-joyful hearts

and blessed peace to cheer us;

and keep us in his grace,

and guide us when perplexed,

and free us from all ills

in this world and the next.

 

All praise and thanks to God

the Father now be given,

the Son, and him who reigns

with them in highest heaven–

the one eternal God,

whom earth and heav'n adore;

for thus it was, is now,

and shall be evermore.

 

REFLECTION ON GOD’S LAW

Leader: You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.

People: This is the great and first commandment.

 

Leader: God spoke all these words, saying, "I am the Lord your God. You shall have no other gods before me."

People: For although there may be so-called "gods" in heaven or on earth…yet for us there is one God.

 

Leader: You shall not make for yourself an idol.

People: What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God.

 

Leader: You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.

People: Let your "yes" be yes and your "no" be no, so that you may not fall under condemnation.

 

Leader:  Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

People: There remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.

 

Silent Prayer of Confession

Assurance of Grace

 

TH #691  “It Is Well with My Soul”

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,

when sorrows like sea billows roll;

whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,

"It is well, it is well with my soul."

 

Refrain:

It is well with my soul;

it is well, it is well with my soul.

 

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,

let this blest assurance control,

that Christ has regarded my helpless estate,

and has shed his own blood for my soul. [Refrain]

 

My sin– O the bliss of this glorious thought!–

my sin, not in part, but the whole,

is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more;

praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! [Refrain]

 

O Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight,

the clouds be rolled back as a scroll,

the trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend;

"Even so"– it is well with my soul. [Refrain]

 

Prayer of the Church: Elder B. Tidwell

 

Psalm 138:1-6  “With All My Heart My Thanks I’ll Bring” 

 

With all my heart my thanks I’ll bring,

Before the gods Your praise I’ll sing.

I’ll bow down toward Your holy place,

And praise Your name for truth and grace;

 

For You have magnified Your word,

So far above Your name adored.

You answered me the day I called,

You strengthened me and made me bold.

 

All kings of earth will thank You, LORD;

They’ll sing when they have heard Your word.

The LORD’s ways they will celebrate;

The glory of the LORD is great.

 

The LORD, although exalted high,
On lowly ones will keep His eye;

But those who proud and haughty are,

He knows them only from afar.

 

Through trouble though my pathway be,

My life You will preserve for me;

With outstretched hand You will oppose

The wrath and anger of my foes.

 

Your right hand, LORD, will set me free

And work out what pertains to me.

Your love, O LORD, forever stands;

Leave not the works done by Your hands.

PRAYER OF APPLICATION & THE LORD’S PRAYER

 

TH #247  “O Sacred Head Now Wounded”

O sacred Head, now wounded,

with grief and shame weighed down;

now scornfully surrounded

with thorns, thine only crown;

O sacred Head, what glory,

what bliss till now was thine!

Yet, though despised and gory,

I joy to call thee mine.

 

What thou, my Lord, hast suffered

was all for sinners' gain:

mine, mine was the transgression,

but thine the deadly pain.

Lo, here I fall, my Savior!

'Tis I deserve thy place;

look on me with thy favor,

vouchsafe to me thy grace.

 

What language shall I borrow

to thank thee, dearest Friend,

for this, thy dying sorrow,

thy pity without end?

O make me thine forever;

and should I fainting be,

Lord, let me never, never

outlive my love to thee.
