CALL TO WORSHIP (Revelation 7:9-10)
After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”


INVOCATION


HYMNS OF PRAISE


Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah
William Williams (1745) John Hughes (1907)
 
Guide Me, O Thou great Jehovah
Pilgrim through this barren land
I am weak, but Thou art mighty
Hold me with Thy powerful hand
Bread of Heaven, Bread of Heaven
Feed me ‘till I want no more
Feed me ‘till I want no more.
 
Open now the crystal fountain
Whence the healing stream doth flow
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through
Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer
Be Thou still my strength and shield
Be Thou still my strength and shield.
 
When I tread the verge of Jordan
Bid my anxious fears subside
Bear me through the swelling current
Land me safe on Canaan’s side
Songs of praises, songs of praises
I will ever give to Thee
I will ever give to Thee.


Mighty to Save
Ben Fielding, Reuben Morgan (Hillsong United)

Everyone needs compassion, a love that’s never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness, the kindness of a Savior
The hope of nations
 
Chorus:
Savior, He can move the mountains
My God is Mighty to save, He is Mighty to save;
Forever, Author of salvation;
He rose and conquered the grave, Jesus conquered the grave.
 
So take me as you find me, all my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow, everything I believe in
Now I surrender
Chorus

Shine your light and let the whole world see
We’re singing for the glory of the risen King, Jesus
Shine your light and let the whole world see
We’re singing for the glory of the risen King
Chorus
 

Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder

Let us love and sing and wonder
Let us praise the Savior’s name
He has hushed the law’s loud thunder
He has quenched Mount Sinai’s flame
He has washed us with His blood
He has washed us with His blood
He has washed us with His blood
He has brought us nigh to God
 
Let us sing though fierce temptation
Threatens hard to bear us down
For the Lord, our strong salvation,
Holds in view the conqu’ror’s crown
He, Who washed us with His blood,    
He, Who washed us with His blood,
He, Who washed us with His blood,
Soon will bring us home to God
 
Let us wonder grace and justice
Join and point to mercy’s store
When through grace in Christ our trust is
Justice smiles and asks no more
He Who washed us with His blood
He Who washed us with His blood
He Who washed us with His blood
Has secured our way to God
 
Let us praise and join the chorus
Of the saints enthroned on high
Here they trusted Him before us
Now their praises fill the sky
Thou hast washed us with Thy blood
Thou hast washed us with Thy blood
Thou hast washed us with Thy blood
Thou art worthy Lamb of God


On Jordan’s Stormy Banks
Words: Samuel Stennet
Music: Christopher Miner
Copyright 1997 Christopher Miner Music

On Jordan's stormy banks I stand
and cast a wishful eye
to Canaan's fair and happy land
where my possessions lie.
 
All o'er those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There God the Son forever reigns
and scatters night away.
 
Chorus:
I am bound, I am bound
I am bound for the promised land. (x2)
 
No chilling winds nor poisonous breath
can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness, sorrow, pain and death
are felt and feared no more.
Chorus

When shall I reach that happy place
and be forever blessed?
When shall I see my Father's face
and in his bosom rest?
Chorus
