Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! O what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God,

born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.

This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long;

this is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long.

Perfect submission, all is at rest; I in my Savior am happy and blest,

watching and waiting, looking above, filled with his goodness, lost in his love.

This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long;

this is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long.

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH“A Statement of Faith of the United Church of Canada”

We are not alone, we live in God's world.We believe in God:who has created and is creating,

who has come in Jesus, the Word made flesh,

to reconcile and make new,who works in us and others by the Spirit.We trust in God.We are called to be the church:to celebrate God's presence,to love and serve others,to seek justice and resist evil,

to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen,our judge and our hope.In life, in death, in life beyond death,God is with us.We are not alone.Thanks be to God. Amen.

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found; was blind, but

now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved; how

precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come; 'tis grace

hath brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me, his word my hope secures; he will my

shield and portion be, as long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, and mortal life shall cease, I shall

possess, within the veil, a life of joy and peace.

When we've been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun, we've no less days to sing God's praise than

when we first begun.

Prayer Requests

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise him, all creatures here below; Praise him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!Early in the morning

our song shall rise to Thee;Holy, Holy, Holy! Merciful and Mighty!God in Three Persons, blessed Trinity!

Holy, Holy, Holy! all the saints adore Thee,Casting down their golden crowns

around the glassy sea;Cherubim and Seraphim falling down

before Thee,Which wert, and art, and

evermore shalt be.

Holy, Holy, Holy! though the darkness hide Thee,Though the eye of sinful man

Thy glory may not see:Only Thou art holy,

there is none beside Thee,Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!All Thy works shall praise thy name

in earth and sky and sea;Holy, Holy, Holy! Merciful and Mighty!God in Three Persons, blessed Trinity!
