Prayer of Invocation

Declaring What We Believe:

The Nicene Creed

All:

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

Men & Boys:

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.

Women & Girls

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.

Jubilee Singers

He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate;

he suffered and was buried.

Women & Girls:

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

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

Men & Boys:

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

His kingdom will never end.

All:

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.

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.

2. 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

3. 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
