Gathering the Family Together

Rejoice
1. Rejoice in the Lord, now and always, sing it again, we rejoice.
Delight in the love He has shown us, gratefully lift up your voice.

His gentleness among us will join our hearts with praise.

We gather in His goodness, a family of grace.
1. Rejoice and be anxious for nothing, praying for all that you need.
Come with a song of thanksgiving; lay your requests at His feet.

His peace will fall upon us, to guard our hearts and minds

In Christ, who reigns eternal; the Shepherd of our lives.

Refrain:

With each breath He’s given, praise the Lord!

In these times we live in, we will praise the Lord.

Throughout every season, I am sure

we have every reason to praise the Lord.
1. Rejoice in the Lord, now and always; tell of the good He has done.
Worship the Lord, to remember all of the joy yet to come.

The hope that burns within us the dark cannot destroy,

With praise that’s never ending, we say again, “Rejoice!”

Repeat Refrain

We have every reason to praise the Lord.

Call To Worship

Scripture Reading: Psalm 23

The Lord the Shepherd of His People; A Psalm of David.

¹ The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

² He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.

³ He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.

⁴ Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil; For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

⁵ You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.

⁶ Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.

Prayer of Invocation

Declaring What We Believe

I Peter 1:3-9

Leader:

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

All:

⁴ to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, ⁵ who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Men:

⁶ In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials,

Women:

⁷ so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Leader:

⁸ Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him

All:

and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, ⁹ obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

We Respond to God’s Presence

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.

Refrain:     O sing hallelujah! Our hope springs eternal.

O sing hallelujah! Now and ever, we confess

Christ our hope in life and death.

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.

The Lord’s My Shepherd

Verse 1:

The Lord’s my shepherd, I’ll not want.

He makes me lie in pastures green.

He leads me by the still, still waters,

His goodness restores my soul.

Refrain:     And I will trust in you alone.

And I will trust in you alone,

For your endless mercy follows me,

Your goodness will lead me home.

Verse 2:

He guides my ways in righteousness,

And he anoints my head with oil,

And my cup, it overflows with joy,

I feast on his pure delights.                             Refrain

Verse 3:

And though I walk the darkest path,

I will not fear the evil one

For you are with me, and your rod and staff

Are the comfort I need to know.                     Refrain

There is a Higher Throne
1. There is a higher throne than all this world has known,
Where faithful ones from ev’ry tongue will one day come.

Before the Son we’ll stand, made faultless through the Lamb;

Believing hearts find promised grace; Salvation comes.

Chorus: Hear Heaven’s voices sing; Their thund’rous anthem rings

Through emerald courts and sapphire skies; Their praises rise.

All glory, wisdom, pow’r, strength,

thanks and honour are to God, our King,

Who reigns on high forevermore.
1. And there we’ll find our home; Our life before the throne.
We’ll honour Him in perfect song where we belong.

He’ll wipe each tear stained eye as thirst and hunger die.

The Lamb becomes our Shepherd King; We’ll reign with Him.
