Red Hymnal #528 “God of Grace and God of Glory”

Call To Worship

Scripture Reading: James 1:1-4

¹ James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: Greetings.

² Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds,

³ for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.

⁴ And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

Prayer of Invocation

Declaring What We Believe

We Believe

(Apostles Creed)

Refrain: We believe in one true God; Father, Spirit, Son;

One Church, one faith, one Lord of all—His Kingdom come.
1. We believe in God the Father Almighty, Lord of Life;
Creator of the Heavens, the earth, the sea, the sky;

And we believe in Jesus, the only Son of God;

Born of the virgin Mary; He lived as one of us. (Refrain)
1. We believe that Jesus suffered, was beaten, crucified;
He died and He was buried; entombed in darkest night.

The third day rose victorious; ascended into Heaven;

Will one day come to judge us, the living and the dead. (Refrain)
1. We believe in God the Spirit, One Church empowered by Him;
Communion of God’s people; forgiveness of our sin.

Our bodies resurrected to everlasting life;

To worship, love and wonder before the throne of Christ. (Refrain)

We Respond to God’s Presence

The Perfect Wisdom of Our God

1 The perfect wisdom of our God, Revealed in all the universe:

All things created by His hand, And held together at His command.

He knows the mysteries of the seas, The secrets of the stars are His;

He guides the planets on their way,

And turns the earth through another day.
1. The matchless wisdom of His ways,
That mark the path of righteousness;

His word a lamp unto my feet, His Spirit teaching and guiding me.

And oh, the mystery of the cross, That God should suffer for the lost

So that the fool might shame the wise,

And all the glory might go to Christ!
1. Oh grant me wisdom from above,
To pray for peace and cling to love,

And teach me humbly to receive

The sun and rain of Your sovereignty.

Each strand of sorrow has a place Within this tapestry of grace;

So through the trials I choose to say:

“Your perfect will in your perfect way.”

The Lord Is My Salvation

The grace of God has reached for me and pulled me from the raging sea

And I am safe on this solid ground. The Lord is my salvation.

I will not fear when darkness falls

His strength will help me scale these walls

I’ll see the dawn of the rising sun. The Lord is my salvation

Refrain:

Who is like the Lord our God? Strong to save, faithful in love

My debt is paid and the vict’ry won. The Lord is my salvation

My hope is hidden in the Lord; He flow’rs each promise of His Word

When winter fades I know spring will come. The Lord is my salvation

In times of waiting, times of need when I know loss, when I am weak

I know His grace will renew these days. The Lord is my salvation

Repeat Refrain

And when I reach my final day He will not leave me in the grave

But I will rise, Christ will call me home; The Lord is my salvation

Repeat Refrain

Doxology:

Glory be to God the Father; Glory be to God the Son

Glory be to God the Spirit; The Lord is our salvation (Repeat Doxology)

Spirit of Heaven
1. Spirit of Heaven, flood over me,
forming Christ in all that I do.

Turn every sinful desire in me

into holy passion for You.

Refrain: O, Spirit of God, come down; Let mercy and grace abound.

My passionate prayer shall be: Christ in me.
1. Spirit of beauty and holiness,
come refine with fire from above,

Till I am cast in Your righteousness

and I love the things that you love. (Refrain)
1. Breathe Your forgiveness when darkness falls
and my heart is heavy with sin.

Fill me with faith for the higher cause

of the ceaseless praise of the King. (Refrain)

All My Boast Is in Jesus

Verse 1

What wonder of wonders, what love is this; that Christ would die for me!

His goodness, His merit, His righteousness, this sinner’s only plea.

O foolish pride, be crucified; the work is finished!

Chorus:

All my boast is in Jesus; all my hope is His love.

And I will glory forever in what the Cross has done.

Verse 2

Now fully forgiven, my life is filled with graces undeserved.

For mercy that flowed down that sacred hill, let praises now return.

Rise up, my soul, and bless the Lord! Who else is worthy?

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

O, Praise the One, forever blessed! Him alone my heart adores.

And I will boast in nothing else than the love of Christ my Lord

Repeat Bridge

Verse 3

I boast not in riches, in strength or might, but in the grace of God.

I glory in weakness, to live is Christ in plenty or in want.

That I may know that all may see His power within me!

Repeat Chorus

Coda:

Now I stand in this freedom; ransomed, clean in His sight,

And I cannot be ashamed for my boast is Jesus Christ.

My boast is Jesus Christ. Forever, my boast is Jesus Christ.
