+HYMN UMH 715 Darwall’s 148th +AFFIRMATION OF FAITH Apostle’s Creed I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. I believe 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, died, and was buried. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of the Father, and will come again to judge the living 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. +GLORIA PATRI Lesser Doxology Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

This is the day the Lord hath made; He calls the hours His own; Let heaven rejoice, let earth be glad, and praise surround the throne. Blest be the Lord, who comes to men with messages of grace; Who comes in God His Father's name, to save our sinful race. Hosanna in the highest strains the church on earth can raise; The highest heavens in which He reigns, shall give Him nobler praise. (Watts]
