Christ Our Hope in Life and Death
What is our hope in life and death?
Christ alone, Christ alone.
What is our only confidence?
That our souls to Him belong.
Who holds our days within His hand?
What comes apart from His command?
And what will keep us to the end?
The love of Christ, in which we stand.
What truth can calm the troubled soul?
God is good, God is good.
Where is His grace and goodness known?
In our great Redeemer’s blood.
Who holds our faith when fears arise?
Who stands above the stormy trial?
Who sends the waves that bring us nigh unto the shore?
The rock of Christ!
Refrain: O sing hallelujah! Our hope springs eternal.
O sing hallelujah! Now and ever, we confess
Christ our hope in life and death.
Unto the grave, what shall we sing?
“Christ, He lives; Christ, He lives!”
And what reward will heaven bring?
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: 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: Philippians 3:7-14
7 But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.
8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ
9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith—
10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
11 that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.
12 Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.
13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,
14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Prayer of Invocation
Declaring What We Believe
Westminster Confession of Faith 8.1: Of Christ the Mediator
It pleased God, in his eternal purpose, to choose and ordain the Lord Jesus, his only begotten Son, to be the Mediator between God and man, the Prophet, Priest, and King, the Head and Savior of his church, the Heir of all things, and Judge of the world: unto whom he did from all eternity give a people, to be his seed, and to be by him in time redeemed, called, justified, sanctified, and glorified.
We Respond to God’s Presence
Come Praise and Glorify
(Based on Ephesians 1)
Come praise and glorify our God, the Father of our Lord
In Christ He has in heav’nly realms His blessings on us poured
For pure and blameless in His sight He destined us to be
And now we’ve been adopted through His Son eternally
Refrain: To the praise of Your glory,
To the praise of Your mercy and grace
To the praise of Your glory
You are the God who saves
Come praise and glorify our God Who gives His grace in Christ
In Him our sins are washed away redeemed through sacrifice
In Him God has made known to us the myst’ry of His will
That Christ should be the head of all His purpose to fulfill (Refrain)
Come praise and glorify our God for we’ve believed the Word
And through our faith we have a seal the Spirit of the Lord
The Spirit guarantees our hope until redemption’s done
Until we join in endless praise to God, the Three in One (Refrain)

His Mercy Is More
- What love could remember no wrongs we have done;
Omniscient, all knowing, He counts not their sum.
Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore;
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.
- What patience would wait as we constantly roam;
What Father, so tender, is calling us home.
He welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor.
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.
Refrain: Praise the Lord! His mercy is more.
Stronger than darkness, new every morn;
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.
- What riches of kindness He lavished on us;
His blood was the payment, His life was the cost.
We stood ‘neath a debt we could never afford;
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.
Refrain: Praise the Lord! His mercy is more.
Stronger than darkness, new every morn;
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.
(Repeat Refrain)

I Am Not My Own
- The One who made the heavens made my heart and soul,
Before I drew a breath, I was loved and known.
I am His creation, the Maker’s masterpiece,
and all that He designs will be done in me.
- My Body is a temple of the Living God,
I’ll worship in this house that His blood has bought.
As I bear His image, oh may I not profane
The holiness I hold in this earthly frame.
Refrain: I belong to the Lord; oh, I am not my own.
I belong to the Lord; I am not my own.
I will honor Him, for this I know:
I belong to the Lord; I am not my own.
- And if He has redeemed me, I am not my own;
The measure of my worth is His love alone.
He declares my standing and He declares my state.
So I will know myself by the name He gave.
(Repeat Refrain)
- I am not my own, and now my heart is free;
Oh, Maker, come and make what You will of me.
There is nothing broken that You cannot repair,
So Lord, I leave my life in your loving care.
I belong to the Lord; oh, I am not my own.
I belong to the Lord; I am not my own.
I will honor Him, for this I know:
I belong to the Lord; I am not my own.
I will honor Him, for this I know:
I belong to the Lord; I am not my own.

to Share the Gospel
Press On
- Where two or three are gathered in the name of the Lord,
He is here, He is here in our midst.
And we will sing together, be renewed by the Word.
When we part, may we go in His peace.
Chorus: Press on, all you saints, press on till the end.
Christ with us, ever with us until He comes again.
Press on, all you saints, run and run to win!
Christ with us, ever with us until He comes again.
- Now let the Word be scattered like the seed on the soil;
Day by day, watch it grow in His care.
And may you be a shelter as you reach to the lost,
Glad in hope, calm in pain, true in prayer.
Chorus: Press on, all you saints, press on till the end.
Christ with us, ever with us until He comes again.
Press on, all you saints, run and run to win!
Christ with us, ever with us until He comes again.
- And may He find us waiting with our lamps burning still;
Keeping watch through the night till He comes.
For soon it will be morning and the sun will appear;
Christ who brought us this far brings us home.
Chorus: Press on, all you saints, press on till the end.
Christ with us, ever with us until He comes again.
Press on, all you saints, run and run to win!
Christ with us, ever with us---until He comes again.
Oh, until He comes again.
