Call To Worship

Scripture Reading: Psalm 8

¹ O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.

² Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established strength because of your foes,
to still the enemy and the avenger.

³ When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

⁴ what is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?

⁵ Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor.

⁶ You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under his feet,

⁷ all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,

⁸ the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

⁹ O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Prayer of Invocation

Declaring What We Believe

O Sing My Soul
1. Oh, sing my soul the ancient song and lend your highest praise
To Him who is the king of old and dwells in endless days.

How resplendent His glory! How majestic His name!

Now to the uncreated One, oh, let the anthem raise!
1. Oh, worship Him, our Father God, the Spirit and the Word
Who fashioned all things from His joy and saw that it was good.

What perfection of friendship, what communion we shared.

But choosing death we fell from life beside the guilty pair.
1. Now hear my soul the gospel song; attend the joyful news.
For Christ has come the perfect Son, His Father’s will to choose.

In our place He did suffer. In our place became sin.

The death of death, the death of Christ who stands alive again.
1. Now people of the risen Lord, Oh hear the call to go.
Into the world we have been sent as messengers of hope.

Christ alone be our treasure; Christ alone our reward.

Come bid the nations. Sing with us the praises of the Lord.

We Respond to God’s Presence

Let the Earth Resound
1. Let the earth resound with songs of praise to the Father’s power and love;
For the One who set each star in place chose to set His heart on us.

To the One whose might gives victory, yet whose mercies never cease;

As the tapestry of history tells the story of His grace.

Chorus:

King Immortal Faithful God; Crowned with splendour, rich in love.

Let the heavens and the earth resound with songs of praise to You.
1. Let the earth be stilled before the sight of a Father’s sacrifice
That revealed the depths of love divine in the face of Jesus Christ.

Through a life of full obedience and a death in agony,

He removed the rebel’s punishment and He set the pris’ner free.

Repeat Chorus
1. Let the earth resound with songs of faith at the wonder yet to come,
When all sin and pain are put to death and the Church and Christ are one.

When we stand as God’s great family and we meet the Father’s gaze,

And share in His eternal joy as we join in ceaseless praise.

Repeat Chorus

Rejoice
1. Rejoice in the Lord, now and always, sing it again, we rejoice.
Delight in the love He has shown us, gratefully lift up your voice.

His gentleness among us will join our hearts with praise.

We gather in His goodness, a family of grace.

Refrain:

With each breath He’s given, praise the Lord!

In these times we live in, we will praise the Lord.

Throughout every season, I am sure

we have every reason to praise the Lord.
1. Rejoice and be anxious for nothing, praying for all that you need.
Come with a song of thanksgiving; lay your requests at His feet.

His peace will fall upon us, to guard our hearts and minds

In Christ, who reigns eternal; the Shepherd of our lives.

Repeat Refrain
1. Rejoice in the Lord, now and always; tell of the good He has done.
Worship the Lord, to remember all of the joy yet to come.

The hope that burns within us the dark cannot destroy,

With praise that’s never ending, we say again, “Rejoice!”

Repeat Refrain

We have every reason to praise the Lord.

Children’s Sermon Song:

Get On Board, Little Children

The Gospel train’s a-comin,’—I hear it just at hand,

I hear the car wheels rumb-lin’—An’ rollin’ thru the land.

Get on board little children, Get on board little children,

Get on board, little children, There’s room for many-a-more.

Sermon Hymn:

My Hope Rests Firm
1. My hope rests firm on Jesus Christ, He is my only plea.
Though all the world should point and scorn,

His ransom leaves me free, His ransom leaves me free.
1. My hope sustains me as I strive and strain towards the goal;
Though still I stumble into sin,

His death paid for it all, His death paid for it all.
1. My hope provides me with a spur to help me run this race:
I know my tears will turn to joy

The day I see His face, The day I see His face.
1. My hope is to be with my Lord, to know as I am known;
To serve Him gladly all my days

In praise before His throne, In praise before His throne.

Today’s Message

“With Sunset Comes Hope for a New Dawn”

Isaiah 40:27-31

Rev. Dr. Don E. Galardi

We Are Sent Forth in Worship

to Share the Gospel

Before the Throne

Before the throne of God above I have a strong and perfect plea.

A great High Priest whose name is “love,”

Whoever lives and pleads for me.

My name is graven on His hands. My name is written on His heart.

I know that while in heaven He stands

No tongue can bid me thence depart.

No tongue can bid me thence depart.

When Satan tempts me to despair, And tells me of the guilt within.

Upward I look and see Him there, Who made an end of all my sin.

Because the sinless Savior died, My sinful soul is counted free;

For God, the Just, is satisfied

To look on Him and pardon me,

To look on Him and pardon me.

Behold Him there! The Risen Lamb, My perfect spotless Righteousness;

The great unchangeable I AM, The King of Glory and of Grace!

One with Himself, I cannot die, My soul is purchased by His blood;

My life is hid with Christ on high,

With Christ my Savior and my God,

With Christ my Savior and my God.
