Hymn of Praise** All Creatures of Our God and King #100 Lighting of Candles Placing the Bible Prayer of Confession Merciful God, in the chaos of our storm-tossed lives we reach for anything that promises to keep us from going under. We work hard to restore order to what seems to be coming apart. We try to keep ourselves afloat with the remnants of life as we know it, the life we planned for ourselves. Forgive our anxious attempts to save ourselves. In the midst of our storms, show us your power and give us your grace, that we might find our hope of rescue in you alone. Do your saving work among us in these very moments as we reach out to you with our silent prayers of confession… Assurance of God’s Forgiveness Congregational Response* Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee #21 (v. 3)
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say, It is well, it is well, with my soul. My sin, oh, 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! It is well, it is well, with my soul. And Lord, haste the day when my 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. Pastoral Prayer & The Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors, And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
Death shall not destroy my comfort, Christ shall guide me through the gloom; Down he’ll send some heavenly convoy, To escort my spirit home. Oh, hallelujah! How I Love my Savior, Oh, hallelujah! That I Do. Oh, Hallelujah! How I love my Savior! Mourners, you may love him too. Jordan’s stream shall not o’erflow me, While my Savior’s by my side; Canaan, Canaan lies before me! Soon I’ll cross the swelling tide. See the happy spirits waiting, On the banks beyond the stream! Sweet responses still repeating, “Jesus! Jesus!” is their theme. Doxology* Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow #544
