Christ Our Hope in Life and Death

Congregation:    What is our hope in life and death?
Christ alone, Christ alone.
What is our only confidence?
That our souls to Him belong.

Jubilee Singers: Who holds our days within His hand?
What comes, apart from His command?
And what will keep us to the end?

Congregation:    The love of Christ, in which we stand.

Refrain:

All:                     O sing hallelujah! Our hope springs eternal.
O sing hallelujah! Now and ever, we confess
Christ our hope in life and death.

Piano Side:         What truth can calm the troubled soul?
God is good, God is good.

Organ Side:        Where is His grace and goodness known?
In our great Redeemer’s blood.

Jubilee Singers: Who holds our faith when fears arise?
Who stands above the stormy trial?
Who sends the waves that bring us nigh unto the shore?

Congregation:    The rock of Christ!

Refrain:

All:                     O sing hallelujah! Our hope springs eternal.
O sing hallelujah! Now and ever, we confess
Christ our hope in life and death.

Congregation:    Unto the grave, what shall we sing?
“Christ, He lives; Christ, He lives!”

Jubilee Singers: And what reward will heaven bring?

Congregation:    Everlasting life with Him.
There we will rise to meet the Lord,
then sin and death will be destroyed,
and we will feast in endless joy,
When Christ is ours forevermore.

Refrain:

All:                     O sing hallelujah! Our hope springs eternal.
O sing hallelujah! Now and ever, we confess
Christ our hope in life and death.

Now and ever, we confess

Christ our hope in life and death.

Call To Worship

Scripture Reading:                                                             Isaiah 53:1-7

¹ Who has believed what he has heard from us?
And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?

² For he grew up before him like a young plant,
and like a root out of dry ground;
he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
and no beauty that we should desire him.

³ He was despised and rejected by men,
a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;
and as one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

⁴ Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.

⁵ But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with his wounds we are healed.

⁶ All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

⁷ He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
yet he opened not his mouth;
like a lamb that is led to the slaughter,
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he opened not his mouth.

Sermon Hymn:

Behold the Lamb

Behold the Lamb, behold the Lamb,

Slain from the foundation of the world.

For sinners crucified, O holy sacrifice,

Behold the Lamb of God, behold the Lamb.

Crown Him, crown Him, Worthy is the Lamb.

Praise Him, praise Him, Heaven and Earth resound.

Behold the Lamb, behold the lamb,

Slain from the foundation of the world.

For sinners crucified, O holy sacrifice,

Behold the Lamb of God, behold the Lamb.
