† THE HYMNS OF PRAISE.................................................................................(8:30 A.M.) Hymn #115 All Creatures of Our God and King (all verses)
Hail to the Lord’s Anointed (see below)
The Earth Is Yours (11:00 A.M.)
Your voice it thunders, the oaks start twistingThe forest sounds with cedars breakingThe waters see You and start their writhing, from the depths a song is risingNow it's rising from the ground
Holy holy holy holy Lord, the earth is Yours and singing Holy holy holy holy Lord, the earth is Yours, the earth is Yours
† THE CONFESSION OF FAITH.....Heidelberg Catechism Question and Answer #1 Q: What is your only comfort in life and in death?
A: That I am not my own, but belong-body and soul, in life and in death-to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ. He has fully paid for all my sins with His precious blood, and has set me free from the tyranny of the devil. He also watches over me in such a way that not a hair can fall from my head without the will of my Father in heaven: in fact, all things must work together for my salvation. Because I belong to Him, Christ, by His Holy Spirit, assures me of eternal life and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for Him.
† THE GLORIA PATRI.......................................................................................(8:30 A.M.) 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, amen.
THE CONFESSION OF SIN Lord Jesus, please forgive my sins. Forgive the sins that I remember, and the sins I have forgotten. Forgive my many failures in the face of temptation, and those times when I have been stubborn in the face of correction. Forgive the times I have been proud of my own achievements and those when I have failed to boast in your works. Forgive the harsh judgments I have made of others, and the leniency I have shown myself. Forgive the lies I have told to others, and the truths I have avoided. Forgive me the pain I have caused others and the indulgence I have shown myself. Jesus, have mercy on me and make me whole. Amen.
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDONING GRACE Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. Proverbs 28:13
† THE HYMN OF PARDONING GRACE.....................................(8:30 and 11:00 A.M.) There Is a Redeemer (all verses)
There is a Redeemer, Jesus, God’s own SonPrecious Lamb of God, Messiah, Holy One
Thank you, oh, my Father, for giving us Your Son And leaving Your Spirit ‘til the work on earth is done
Jesus, my Redeemer, name above all namesPrecious Lamb of God, Messiah, O for sinners slain

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.
