The Lord’s Day—April 26, 2020

Order of Worship


CALL TO WORSHIP (Psalm 103:6-14)
The LORD works righteousness and justice
For all who are oppressed. 
He made known his ways to Moses,
His acts to the people of Israel.
The LORD is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever.
He does not deal with us according to our sins,
Nor repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
So great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
As far as the east is from the west,
So far does he remove our transgressions from us.
As a father shows compassion to his children,
So the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.
For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.


INVOCATION


HYMNS OF PRAISE


The Solid Rock
Words: Edward Mote, Music: William Bradbury, arr. by Don Chapman.

My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

Chorus:
On Christ, the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand, all other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale my anchor holds within the veil.
Chorus

His oath, His covenant, His blood, support me in the whelming flood.
When all around my soul gives way, He then is all my hope and stay.
Chorus

When He shall come with trumpet sound, O may I then in Him be found,
Dressed in His righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne.
Chorus


O Worship the King
Words: Robert Grant, Music: "Sacred Melodies," Arr. by Don Chapman.

O Worship the King, all glorious above,
And 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, whose canopy space!
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.

Thy 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 distills in the dew and the rain.

All hail to the King in splendor enthroned,
Glad praises we bring, Thy wonders make known.
Returning victorious great conqueror of sin,
King Jesus, all glorious, our victory will win.


Before the Throne of God Above
Words: Charitie L. Bancroft, 1863, Music: Mark Cole

Before the throne of God above I have a strong and perfect plea.
A great high Priest whose Name is Love who ever lives and pleads for me.
My name is graven on His hands, My name is written on His heart.
I know that while in Heaven He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart,
No tongue can bid me thence depart.

When Satan tempts me to despair and tells me of the guilt within,
Upward I look and see Him there, who made an end of all my sin.
Because the sinless Savior died, my sinful soul is counted free.
For God the just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me,
To look on Him and pardon me.

Behold Him there the risen Lamb, My perfect spotless righteousness,
The great unchangeable I AM, The King of glory and of grace,
One in Himself I cannot die. My soul is purchased by His blood,
My life is hid with Christ on high,
With Christ my Savior and my God!
With Christ my Savior and my God!


Give Me Jesus
Words and Music: Traditional African-American; Arr. by Fernando Ortega
Arrangement Copyright ©2000 Dejamesolo Music/Word Music, LLC

In the morning, when I rise, In the morning, when I rise
In the morning, when I rise, give me Jesus

Chorus:
Give me Jesus, give me Jesus
You can have all this world but give me Jesus

And when I am alone oh, and when I am alone
And when I am alone, give me Jesus

Chorus:
Give me Jesus, give me Jesus
You can have all this world but give me Jesus

And when I come to die oh, and when I come to die
And when I come to die, give me Jesus

(Instrumental)

Give me Jesus give me Jesus
You can have all this world
You can have all this world
You can have all this world
But give me Jesus
