The Old Rugged Cross Ambassador Hymnal #78

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, The emblem of suff’ring and shame; And I love that old cross where the dearest and best For a world of lost sinners was slain.

Refrain: So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, And exchange it some day for a crown.

O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world, Has a wondrous attraction for me; For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above To bear it to dark Calvary.

Refrain: So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, And exchange it some day for a crown.

In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine, A wondrous beauty I see; For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died To pardon and sanctify me.

Refrain: So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, And exchange it some day for a crown.

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true, Its shame and reproach gladly bear; Then He’ll call me some day to my home far away, Where His glory forever I’ll share.

Refrain: So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, And exchange it some day for a crown.

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. I believe in the Holy Spirit; The holy Christian Church, the Communion of Saints; the Forgiveness of sins; The Resurrection of the body, and the Life everlasting, Amen.

Children’s Message: What’s in the bag?

Take Time to be Holy Ambassador Hymnal #481

Take time to be holy, Speak oft with thy Lord; Abide in Him always And feed on His Word. Make friends of God’s children, Help those who are weak, Forgetting in nothing His blessing to seek.

Take time to be holy, The world rushes on; Spend much time in secret With Jesus alone. By looking to Jesus, Like Him thou shalt be; Thy friends in thy conduct His likeness shall see.

Take time to be holy, Let Him be thy guide, And run not before Him, Whatever betide. In joy or in sorrow Still follow thy Lord, And, looking to Jesus, Still trust in His Word.

Take time to be holy, Be calm in thy soul— Each thought and each motive Beneath His control. Thus led by His Spirit To fountains of love, Thou soon shalt be fitted For service above.

Amazing Grace Ambassador Hymnal #578

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 has 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.

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’d first begun.

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 Amen AmenAmen!

Have a wonderful day!
