*HYMN
“Praise to the Lord, the Almighty”
Neander trans Winkworth / Stralsund Gesangbuch
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near;
join me in glad adoration!
Praise to the Lord, Who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth,
Shelters thee under His wings, yes, so gently sustaineth!
Hast thou not seen how all thy longings have been
granted in what He ordaineth?
Praise to the Lord, Who doth prosper thy work and defend thee;
surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend thee.
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do,
if with His love He befriend thee.
Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore Him!
All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him.
Let the amen sound from His people again:
gladly for aye we adore Him.
*APOSTLES’ CREED
I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth:
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: who was conceived
by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under
Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day He
arose from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the
right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall
come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the
forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life
everlasting. Amen

*HYMN
“Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus”
Helen H. Lemmel
O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free.
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face;
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace.
Thro’ death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
Over us sin no more hath dominion —
For more than conqu’rors we are!
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face;
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace.
His Word shall not fail you — He promised;
Believe Him, and all will be well;
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face;
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace.
ANTHEM
“Ho, Everyone that Thirsteth”
Will McFarlane
Ho, ho, ev’ryone that thirsteth, come ye to the waters,
And he that hath no money, come ye, buy and eat.
Ho, ho, ev’ryone that thirsteth, come ye to the waters,
And he that hath no money, come ye, buy and eat.
Ho, ho, ev’ryone; ho, ho, everyone —
Ho, everyone;
Ho, ho, ho, Everyone that thirsteth,
come ye to the waters,
And he that hath no money, come ye, buy and eat.
Wherefore do you spend money
for that which is not bread?
And your labor for that
which satisfieth not?
Hearken diligently unto me,
and eat ye that which is good,
And let your soul, your soul
refresh itself in fatness.
Ho, ho, ev’ryone that thirsteth, come ye to the waters,
And he that hath no money, come ye, buy and eat.
…
Incline your ear and come unto me.
Hear, hear and your soul shall live;
And I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
even the sure mercies of David.
Incline your ear and come unto me.
Hear, hear and your soul shall live;
And I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
even the sure mercies of David.
Incline your ear...
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Behold, I freely give
the living water, thirsty one,
stoop down and drink and live.”
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Behold, I freely give
the living water, thirsty one,
stoop down and drink and live.”
I came to Jesus and I drank
of that life-giving stream.
My thirst was quenched,
my soul revived,
and now I live in Him.
I came to Jesus and I drank
of that life-giving stream.
My thirst was quenched,
my soul revived,
and now I live in Him.
Ho, ho, ev’ryone that thirsteth,
My thirst was quenched, my soul —
ev’ryone that thirsteth —
my soul revived, and now —
Come, (now!) come, (now!) come! —
and now I live, now I live in Him.

*CLOSING HYMN
“Lead On, O King Eternal”
Shurtleff/Smart
Lead on, O King eternal, the day of march has come;
Henceforth in fields of conquest Thy tents shall be our home.
Through days of preparation Thy grace has made us strong;
And now, O King eternal, we lift our battle song.
Lead on, O King eternal, till sin's fierce war shall cease,
And holiness shall whisper the sweet amen of peace.
For not with swords loud clashing, nor roll of stirring drums;
with deeds of love and mercy the heavenly kingdom comes.
Lead on, O King eternal, we follow, not with fears,
For gladness breaks like morning where'er Thy face appears.
Thy cross is lifted o'er us, we journey in its light;
The crown awaits the conquest; lead on, O God of might.
BENEDICTION
Dresden Amen
