    Scripture Reading:                                                      Revelation 21:1-7

    The New Heaven and the New Earth

    1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.

    2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

    3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

    4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

    5 And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

    6 And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment.

    7 The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son.”

    Declaring What We Believe

     

    The Nicene Creed

    We believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.

     

    And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God,

    begotten from the Father before all ages,

    God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God,

    begotten, not made; of the same essence as the Father.

    Through him all things were made.

     

    For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven;

    he became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary,

    and was made man.

    He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate;

    he suffered and was buried.

     

    The third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures.

    He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

    He will come again with glory to judge the living and the dead.

    His kingdom will never end.

     

    And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life.

    He proceeds from the Father and the Son,

    and with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified.

    He spoke through the prophets.

     

    We believe in one holy universal and apostolic church.

    We affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

    We look forward to the resurrection of the dead,

    and to life in the world to come.

    Amen.

  • The King Shall Come

    1. The King shall come when morning dawns

    and light triumphant breaks,

    When beauty gilds the eastern hills and life to joy awakes.

     

    1. Not as of old a little child, to bear and fight and die,

    But crowned with glory like the sun that lights the morning sky.

     

    1. O, brighter than the rising morn when Christ, victorious, rose

    And left the lonesome place of death, despite the rage of foes.

     

    1. O, brighter than that glorious morn shall dawn upon our race

    The day when Christ in splendor comes, and we shall see His face.

     

    1. The King shall come when morning dawns

    and light and beauty brings.

    Hail, Christ the Lord! Your people pray:

    Come quickly, King of kings.

    Based on the Greek translated by John Brownlie, (1859-1925); Melody from Kentucky Harmony, 1816; Arranged by Melvin West, (1930-       )

     

     

    We Have This Hope

    We have this hope that burns within our hearts,

    Hope in the coming of the Lord.

    We have this faith that Christ alone imparts,

    Faith in the promise of His Word.

     

    We believe the time is here,

    When the nations far and near

    Shall awake, and shout, and sing --

    Hallelujah! Christ is King!

     

    We have this hope that burns within our hearts,

    Hope in the coming of the Lord.
