All creatures of our God and King, Lift up your voice and with us sing Alleluia, Alleluia! Thou burning sun with golden beam, Thou silver moon with softer gleam: O praise Him, O praise Him! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Thou rushing wind that art so strong, Ye clouds that sail in heav’n along, O praise Him! Alleluia! Thou rising morn, in praise rejoice, Ye lights of evening, find a voice: O praise Him, O praise Him! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Dear mother earth, who day by day Unfoldest blessings on our way, O praise Him! Alleluia! The flow’rs and fruits that in thee grow, Let them His glory also show: O praise Him, O praise Him! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

And all ye men of tender heart, Forgiving others, take your part, O sing ye! Alleluia! Ye who long pain and sorrow bear, Praise God and on Him cast your care: O praise Him, O praise Him! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Let all things their Creator bless, And worship Him in humbleness— O praise Him! Alleluia! Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son, And praise the Spirit, Three in One: O praise Him, O praise Him! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Haggai 2:4-5 Ephesians 2:1-13

Apostles’ Creed p. 4 in Ambassador Hymnal 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; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead;…

Apostles’ Creed p. 4 in Ambassador Hymnal …He ascended into heaven; And is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From where He shall come to judge the living and the dead.

Children’s Message: H

Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me Ambassador Hymnal #398

Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy riven side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, Save me from its guilt and pow’r.

Not the labor of my hands Can fulfil Thy law’s demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone.

Nothing in my hands I bring, Simply to Thy cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress, Helpless look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the fountain fly, Wash me, Savior, or I die.

While I draw this fleeting breath, When my eyes shall close in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See Thee on Thy judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee.

Victory in Jesus Ambassador Hymnal #542

I heard an old, old story, how a Savior came from glory, How He gave His life on Calvary to save a wretch like me: I heard about His groaning, of His precious blood’s atoning, Then I repented of my sins and won the victory.

O victory in Jesus, my Savior, forever! Refrain: O victory in Jesus, my Savior, forever! He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood; He loved me ere I knew Him, and all my love is due Him— He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood.

I heard about His healing, of His cleansing pow’r revealing. How He made the lame to walk again and caused the blind to see; And then I cried, “Dear Jesus, come and heal my broken spirit,” And somehow Jesus came and brought to me the victory.

O victory in Jesus, my Savior, forever! Refrain: O victory in Jesus, my Savior, forever! He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood; He loved me ere I knew Him, and all my love is due Him— He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood.

I heard about a mansion He has built for me in glory, And I heard about the streets of gold beyond the crystal sea; About the angels singing and the old redemption story, And some sweet day I’ll sing up there the song of victory.

O victory in Jesus, my Savior, forever! Refrain: O victory in Jesus, my Savior, forever! He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood; He loved me ere I knew Him, and all my love is due Him— He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood.

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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us,

The LORD’s Prayer And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil; For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, And the glory, forever and ever. AMEN.

Amen

Have a blessed day!
