Gathering the Family Together

Alleluia! Sing to Jesus

Alleluia! Sing to Jesus! His the scepter, His the throne.

Alleluia! His the triumph, His the victory alone.

Hark! The songs of peaceful Zion thunder like a mighty flood.

Jesus, out of every nation, has redeemed us by His blood.

Alleluia! Not as orphans are we left in sorrow now;

Alleluia! He is near us, faith believes, nor questions how;

Though the cloud from sight received Him

when the forty days were o’er,

Shall our hearts forget His promise, “I am with you evermore”?

Alleluia! Bread of angels, Thou on earth our food, our stay;

Alleluia! Here the sinful flee to Thee from day to day:

Intercessor, Friend of sinners, Earth’s Redeemer, plead for me,

Where the songs of all the sinless sweep across the crystal sea.

Words by William C. Dix. Music: Hyfrydol, Rowland H. Prichard, 1930. (Public Doman)

Call To Worship

Scripture Reading: Psalm 16:5-11

⁵ The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;
you hold my lot.

⁶ The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

⁷ I bless the Lord who gives me counsel;
in the night also my heart instructs me.

⁸ I have set the Lord always before me;
because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.

⁹ Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices;
my flesh also dwells secure.

¹⁰ For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol,
or let your holy one see corruption.

¹¹ You make known to me the path of life;
in your presence there is fullness of joy;
at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

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)

Communion of God’s people; forgiveness of our sin.

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

We Respond to God’s Presence

Holy Spirit, Living Breath of God

Holy Spirit, living Breath of God,

Breathe new life into my willing soul.

Bring the presence of the risen Lord

To renew my heart and make me whole.

Cause Your Word to come alive in me;

Give me faith for what I cannot see;

Give me passion for Your purity.

Holy Spirit, breathe new life in me.

Holy Spirit, come abide within;

May Your joy be seen in all I do—

Love enough to cover ev’ry sin

In each thought and deed and attitude,

Kindness to the greatest and the least,

Gentleness that sows the path of peace.

Turn my striving into works of grace.

Breath of God, show Christ in all I do.

Holy Spirit, from creation’s birth,

Giving life to all that God has made,

Show Your power once again on earth;

Cause Your church to hunger for Your ways.

Let the fragrance of our prayers arise.

Lead us on the road of sacrifice

That in unity the face of Christ

Will be clear for all the world to see.

Holy Spirit, from Heaven Descended

(Sung by the Jubilee Singers)

Verse 1

Holy Spirit, from heaven descended, in the form of a dove you were seen

with a message of love from the Father above,

giving comfort to all who believe.

How we long for your fragrance to fill us;

we confess our deep need for your grace.

Shelter us with your wings, turn our heart as it sings.

Lift our eyes to behold Jesus’ face.

Verse 2

Holy Spirit, with flame you anointed the believers on that Pentecost, bringing

heavenly light and parting great might to believers as sign to the lost.

As the tower of fire was for Israel; fill our lives now with light from on high.

You have sealed everyone who is bought by the Son.

May our works his great name glorify.

Verse 3

Holy Spirit, flow freely among us, sacred oil giving sight where sin blinds;

just as Aaron of old lit the lamps in the cold,

warm our hearts and illumine our minds.

You have baptized us into one body. Living Water, now cleanse and renew.

Sanctify us, we pray, that God’s Word we obey,

and to Christ may we ever be true.

Verse 4

Holy Spirit of God, breathe upon us.

Fill our hearts with your love, joy, and peace.

Paraclete, you are nigh; interceding on high;

grant that our meager faith would increase.

Be our lamp to interpret the Scriptures,

be our guide to instruct in the way.

We surrender our will as our cup you refill

to victoriously live every day.
