A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

A mighty fortress is our God, A bulwark never failing

Our helper He amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing.

For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe

His craft and power are great, And, armed with cruel hate,

On earth is not his equal.

Did we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing,

Were not the right man on our side, The man of God’s own choosing.

Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He

Lord Sabaoth His name, From age to age the same

And He must win the battle

And though this world with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us,

We will not fear, for God hath willed, His truth to triumph through us.

The prince of darkness grim, We tremble not for him.

His rage we can endure, For lo, his doom is sure:

One little word shall fell him.

That word above all earthly powers, No thanks to them, abideth;

The Spirit and the gifts are ours Through Him who with us sideth.

Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also.

The body they may kill; God’s truth abideth still:

His kingdom is forever.

Prayer of Invocation

Declaring What We Believe

The Apostle’s Creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.

And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord;

Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the virgin Mary;

Suffered under Pontius Pilate;

Was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell;

The third day He rose again from the dead;

He ascended into heaven,

And sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;

From whence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost;

The holy universal church; The communion of saints;

The forgiveness of sins; The resurrection of the body;

And the life everlasting. Amen.

We Respond to God’s Presence

I Know Whom I Have Believed

Verse 1:

I know not why God’s wondrous grace to me He hath made known,

Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love redeemed me for His own.

But “I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I’ve committed unto Him against that day.”

Verse 2:

I know not how this saving faith to me He did impart,

Nor how believing in His word wrought peace within my heart.

But “I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I’ve committed unto Him against that day.”

Verse 3:

I know not how the Spirit moves, convincing men of sin,

Revealing Jesus through the word, creating faith in Him.

But “I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I’ve committed unto Him against that day.”

Verse 4:

I know not when my Lord may come, at night or noonday fair,

Nor if I walk the vale with Him, or meet Him in the air.

But “I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I’ve committed unto Him against that day.”

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

Christ, the Sure and Steady Anchor

Verse 1

Christ, the sure and steady anchor in the fury of the storm;

When the winds of doubt blow through me

and my sails have all been torn.

In the suff’ring, in the sorrow, when my sinking hopes are few,

I will hold fast to the anchor; it shall never be removed.

Verse 2

Christ, the sure and steady anchor while the tempest rages on;

When temptation claims the battle and it seems the night has won.

Deeper still then goes the anchor, though I justly stand accused;

I will hold fast to the anchor; it shall never be removed.

Verse 3

Christ, the sure and steady anchor through the floods of unbelief;

Hopeless, somehow, O my soul now lift your eyes to calvary.

This my ballast of assurance, see His love forever proved;

I will hold fast to the anchor; it shall never be removed.

Verse 4

Christ, the sure and steady anchor, as we face the wave of death;

When these trials give way to glory and we draw our final breath.

We will cross that great horizon, clouds behind and life secured;

And the calm will be the better for the storms that we endured.

Christ, the shore of our salvation, ever faithful, ever true;

We will hold fast to the anchor; it shall never be removed.

How Firm a Foundation

How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,

Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!

What more can He say than to you He hath said,

To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?

“Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,

For I am thy God and will still give thee aid;

I’ll strengthen and help thee, and cause thee to stand

Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.”

“When through fiery trials thy pathways shall lie,

My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;

The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design

Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.”

“The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose,

I will not, I will not desert to its foes;

That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,

I’ll never, no never, no never forsake.”

Benediction
