Blue Psalter Page 1032

Blessed Be the God of Israel
1. Blessed be the God of Israel, who comes to set us free
And raises up new hope for us, a Branch from David’s tree.

So have the prophets long declared that with a mighty arm

God would turn back our enemies and all who wish us harm.
1. With promised mercy will God still the covenant recall,
The oath once sworn to Abraham, from foes to save us all,

That we might worship without fear and offer lives of praise,

In holiness and righteousness to serve God all our days.
1. My child, as prophet of the Lord, you will prepare the way
To tell God’s people they are saved from sin’s eternal sway.

Then shall God’s mercy from on high shine forth and never cease

To drive away the gloom of death and lead us into peace.

Words: Carl P. Daw Jr. (b. 1944) © 1989 Hope Publishing Company, Music (FOREST GREEN): English folk tune; adapt. and harm. Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958), 1906, P.D.

Call To Worship

Scripture Reading:                                                    Philippians 2:1-11

¹ So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy,

² complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.

³ Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.

⁴ Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

⁵ Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,

⁶ who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,

⁷ but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.

⁸ And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

⁹ Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,

¹⁰ so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

¹¹ and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Prayer of Invocation

Declaring What We Believe

Psalm 29

(This is a psalm of praise of the power of God displayed in the storm. But the strength is of a hand as powerful to calm as it is to move – a strength man can trust.)

Congregational Refrain:

“Glory to God! Glory to God!” Sing forever “Glory to God!”

Solo voices:

Verse 1:    All on earth and all in heaven, raise to God a song on high.

Strength unmeasured, love unbounded, God alone we glorify.

Congregational Refrain:

“Glory to God! Glory to God!” Sing forever “Glory to God!”

Solo voices: (spoken)

Verse 2:    The voice of the Lord resounds across the waters;

the voice of the Lord thunders over the mighty sea.

Verse 3:    The voice of the Lord is powerful;

the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

Verse 4:    The voice of the Lord breaks the cedar trees:

the voice of the Lord splinters the trees of Lebanon.

Verse 5:    The voice of the Lord strikes like lightning;

the voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness.

Verse 6:    The voice of the Lord causes the oaks to whirl;

the voice of the Lord strips the forest bare.

Congregational Refrain:

“Glory to God! Glory to God!” Sing forever “Glory to God!”

Solo voices:

Verse 7:    God of the waters, God of thunder,

God’s own might can make them cease.

God’s own voice which tumult beckons

in a gentler breath speaks peace.

Congregational Refrain:

“Glory to God! Glory to God!” Sing forever “Glory to God!”

We Respond to God’s Presence

Red Hymnal #239

Lift Up Your Heads, Ye Mighty Gates

Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates: Behold, the King of glory waits!

The King of kings is drawing near, the Savior of the world is here.

O blest the land, the city blest, where Christ the ruler is confessed!

O happy hearts and happy homes to whom this King of triumph comes!

Fling wide the portals of your heart: Make it a temple, set apart

From earthly use for heaven’s employ, adorned with prayer and love and joy.

Redeemer, come! I open wide my heart to Thee here, Lord, abide!

Let me Thy inner presence feel: Thy grace and love in me reveal.

So come, my Sovereign, enter in! Let new and nobler life begin!

Thy Holy Spirit guide us on, until the glorious crown be won. Amen.

Words: Georg Weissel; trans. By Catherine Winkworth. Music: TRURO, Psalmodia Evangelica

By Faith

Verse 1:    By faith we see the hand of God

In the light of creation’s grand design

In the lives of those who prove His faithfulness

Who walk by faith and not by sight

Verse 2:    By faith our fathers roamed the earth

With the power of His promise in their hearts

Of a holy city built by God's own hand

A place where peace and justice reign

Refrain:    We will stand as children of the promise

We will fix our eyes on Him our soul’s reward

Till the race is finished and the work is done

We’ll walk by faith and not by sight

Verse 3:    By faith the prophets saw a day

When the longed-for Messiah would appear

With the power to break the chains of sin and death

And rise triumphant from the grave

Verse 4:    By faith the church was called to go

In the power of the Spirit to the lost

To deliver captives and to preach good news

In every corner of the earth

Repeat Refrain

Verse 5:    By faith this mountain shall be moved

And the power of the gospel shall prevail

For we know in Christ all things are possible

For all who call upon His name

Repeat Refrain

Hear the Call of the Kingdom

Hear the call of the kingdom, lift your eyes to the King,

Let His song rise within you as a fragrant offering

Of how God rich in mercy came in Christ to redeem

All who trust in His unfailing grace

Hear the call of the Kingdom to be children of light

With the mercy of heaven the humility of Christ

Walking justly before Him, loving all that is right

That the life of Christ may shine through us

Refrain:    King of Heaven we will answer the call

We will follow bringing hope to the world

Filled with passion filled with power to proclaim

Salvation in Jesus’ name

Hear the call of the Kingdom to reach out to the lost

With the Father’s compassion in the wonder of the cross

Bringing peace and forgiveness and a hope yet to come

Let the nations put their trust in Him

Repeat Refrain:

Sermon Hymn:

On Jordan’s Bank the Baptist’s Cry
1. On Jordan’s bank the Baptist’s cry announces that the Lord is nigh.
Awake and harken, for he brings glad tidings of the King of kings!
1. Then cleansed be every life from sin; make straight the way for God within,
And let us all our hearts prepare for Christ to come and enter there.
1. We hail you as our Savior, Lord, our refuge and our great reward.
Without your grace we waste away like flowers that wither and decay.
1. Stretch forth your hand, our health restore, and make us rise to fall no more.
O let your face upon us shine and fill the world with love divine.
1. All praise to you, eternal Son, whose advent has our freedom won,
Whom with the Father we adore, and Holy Spirit, evermore.

Sharing of the Elements

We invite to the Lord’s Table all those who are baptized disciples of Jesus Christ and are under the authority of Christ and His body, the Church. By eating the bread and drinking the wine with us as a visitor, you are acknowledging to the elders of this local church that you are in covenant with God and an active member of a congregation in which the gospel is faithfully confessed, taught, and believed. You also acknowledge that you are a sinner, without hope except in the sovereign mercy of God, and that you are trusting in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. If you have any doubt about your participation, please speak to the elders before or after the service.

We Are Your Church

God has built His church on one foundation—

Jesus Christ, the Living Cornerstone.

Crucified and risen to redeem us,

We adore and worship Him alone.

Refrain:

We are Your church, Your bride, the people of Your name.

In Your strength we live; we worship, unashamed,

For Your cause we serve; We joyfully proclaim we are Your people;

We are Your church.

Set apart to serve our loving Savior,

given power to share redemption’s plan—

We will tell the world the love of Jesus;

we will preach the cross to every land. (Repeat Refrain)

With a shout, the Bridegroom is returning.

Heaven’s Prince will come to claim His own.

We will rise to reign with Him forever;

We will sing our praise around His throne. (Repeat Refrain)
