7. THE CALL TO WORSHIP [ Pastor / CONGREGATION ] (Psalm 121) I lift up my eyes unto the hills -- WHERE DOES MY HELP COME FROM? My help comes from the Lord, THE MAKER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH. He will not let your foot slip -- HE WHO WATCHES OVER YOU WILL NOT SLUMBER.

8. Indeed, He who watches over Israel WILL NEITHER SLUMBER NOR SLEEP. The Lord watches over you THE LORD IS YOUR SHADE AT YOUR RIGHT HAND. The sun will not harm you by day, NOR THE MOON BY NIGHT. The Lord will keep you from all harm; HE WILL WATCH OVER YOUR LIFE. The Lord will watch over your coming and going BOTH NOW AND FOREVER MORE.

9. THE OPENING HYMN #797 ‘COME, YE THANKFUL PEOPLE COME’ [ All who are able please stand ]

10. (1) Come, ye thankful people, come, raise the song of harvest home; all is safely gathered in, ere the winter storms begin. God our Maker doth provide for our wants to be supplied; come to God's own temple, come, raise the song of harvest home.

11. (2) All the world is God's own field, fruit as praise to God we yield; wheat and tares together sown are to joy or sorrow grown; first the blade and then the ear, then the full corn shall appear; Lord of harvest, grant that we wholesome grain and pure may be.

12. (3) For the Lord our God shall come, and shall take the harvest home; from the field shall in that day all offenses purge away, giving angels charge at last in the fire the tares to cast; but the fruitful ears to store in the garner evermore.

13. (4) Even so, Lord, quickly come, bring Thy final harvest home; gather Thou Thy people in, free from sorrow, free from sin, there, forever purified, in Thy presence to abide; come, with all Thine angels, come, raise the glorious harvest home.

14. SILENT PRAYERS OF THANKSGIVING AND CONFESSION THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON Psalm 28:7 The Lord is my strength and my shield. My heart trusts in God, and I am forgiven. My heart is glad and I will give thanks to God in song.

15. ‘HE IS LORD’ He is Lord, He is Lord! He is risen from the dead and He is Lord! Every knee shall bow, Every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Please repeat (A song for Christ the King Sunday)

22. (2) Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining, Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine; So from the beginning the fight we were winning; Thou, Lord, were at our side, all glory be Thine!
