How Great Thou Art *Opening Hymn Hymnal #77 Used By Permission. CCLI License # 11148194

 O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder, consider all the worlds thy hands have made; I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, thy power throughout the universe displayed.

 Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to thee, how great thou art, how great thou art. Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to thee, How great thou art, how great thou art!

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander, And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees. When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur and hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

 Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to thee, how great thou art, how great thou art. Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to thee, How great thou art, how great thou art!

And when I think, that God, his Son not sparing; sent him to die, I scarce can take it in; that on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, he bled and died to take away my sin.

 Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to thee, how great thou art, how great thou art. Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to thee, How great thou art, how great thou art!

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation, and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart. Then I shall bow, in humble adoration, and then proclaim: "My God, how great thou art!"

 Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to thee, how great thou art, how great thou art. Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to thee, How great thou art, how great thou art!

In my distress I cry to the Lord: "Deliver me, O Lord." *Opening Prayer Psalm 130, Hymnal #848 In my distress I cry to the Lord: "Deliver me, O Lord."

Offertory Scripture Isaiah 58: 13-14 13 If you refrain from trampling the sabbath, from pursuing your own interests on my holy day; if you call the sabbath a delight and the holy day of the Lord honorable; if you honor it, not going your own ways, serving your own interests, or pursuing your own affairs; 14 then you shall take delight in the Lord, and I will make you ride upon the heights of the earth; I will feed you with the heritage of your ancestor Jacob, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

Joy Comes with the Dawn *Hymn TFWS #2210 Used By Permission. CCLI License # 11148194

Joy comes with the dawn; Joy comes with the morning sun; Joy springs from the tomb And scatters the night with her song, joy comes with the dawn. Weeping may come; weeping may come in the night, when dark shadows cloud over sight.

Joy comes with the dawn; Joy comes with the morning sun; Joy springs from the tomb And scatters the night with her song, joy comes with the dawn. Sorrow will turn, sorrow will turn into song and God’s laughter make us strong.

Joy comes with the dawn; Joy comes with the morning sun; Joy springs from the tomb And scatters the night with her song, joy comes with the dawn. We will rejoice, we will rejoice and give and give praise, To the One who brings us grace.

What a Friend We Have in Jesus *Hymn What a Friend We Have in Jesus Hymnal #526 Used By Permission. CCLI License # 11148194

What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.

Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer.

Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge; take it to the Lord in prayer.

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In his arms he'll take and shield thee; thou wilt find a solace there.
