Have Mercy Upon Me, O God

Have mercy upon me, O God,

according to your loving kindness,

according to your tender mercy.

Blot out my transgressions

and wash me thoroughly.

O cleanse me from my sin.

I hate my transgressions, O God,

and I repent my sins before you.

Against you only have I sinned

and done what is evil

within your sight, O God.

Wash me and make me clean.

For I have rebelled from my birth;

My very bones have gone against you.

O teach me all your truth in secret

And purge me with hyssop;

And then I shall be clean.

O fill me with your joy.

Create in me now a clean heart;

Renew your Spirit in me wholly.

O cast me not away to darkness

And take not your Spirit

from me, O Blessed One.

O Lord, restore my soul.

Open now my lips with praise

And let my mouth show forth your greatness.

Do not despise my broken spirit;

Have mercy upon me,

O God of hosts, I cry.

Cleanse me and make me whole.

Scripture Reading:                                                       Hebrews 4:12-16

¹²For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

¹³And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

¹⁴Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

¹⁵For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.

¹⁶Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Prayer of Invocation

Prayer Response:

Purify My Heart

Purify my heart, Touch me with Your cleansing fire.

Take me to the cross; Your holiness is my desire.

Breathe Your life in me, Kindle a love that flows from Your throne.

Oh, purify my heart, Purify my heart.

Declaring What We Believe

Psalm 19 B                                                                  Blue Psalter, pg. 98

God’s Glory Fills the Heavens

Verse 1

God’s glory fills the heavens with hymns;

the domed sky bears the Maker’s mark.

New praises sound from day to day and echo through the knowing dark.

Without a word their songs roll on; into all lands their voices run.

And with a champion’s strength and grace

from farthest heaven comes forth the sun.

Verse 2

God’s perfect law revives the soul; its precepts make the simple wise.

Its just commands rejoice the heart; its truth gives light unto the eyes.

Forever shall this law endure; unblemished, righteous, true, complete.

No gold was ever found so fine, no honey in the comb more sweet.

Verse 3

God’s servant may I ever be; this world my joy, that word my guide.

O cleanse me, Lord, from secret sin; deliver me from selfish pride.

Accept my thoughts and words and deeds;

let them find favor in your sight.

For you alone can make me whole, O Lord, my refuge and my might.

We Respond to God’s Presence

Christ Our Hope in Life and Death

Congregation:    What is our hope in life and death?
Christ alone, Christ alone.
What is our only confidence?
That our souls to Him belong.

Jubilee Singers: Who holds our days within His hand?
What comes, apart from His command?
And what will keep us to the end?

Congregation:    The love of Christ, in which we stand.

Refrain:

All:                     O sing hallelujah! Our hope springs eternal.
O sing hallelujah! Now and ever, we confess
Christ our hope in life and death.

Piano Side:         What truth can calm the troubled soul?
God is good, God is good.

Organ Side:        Where is His grace and goodness known?
In our great Redeemer’s blood.

Jubilee Singers: Who holds our faith when fears arise?
Who stands above the stormy trial?
Who sends the waves that bring us nigh unto the shore?

Congregation:    The rock of Christ!

Refrain:

All:                     O sing hallelujah! Our hope springs eternal.
O sing hallelujah! Now and ever, we confess
Christ our hope in life and death.

Congregation:    Unto the grave, what shall we sing?
“Christ, He lives; Christ, He lives!”

Jubilee Singers: And what reward will heaven bring?

Congregation:    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:

All:                     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.

He Will Hold Me Fast

1    When I fear my faith will fail, Christ will hold me fast

When the tempter would prevail, He will hold me fast

I could never keep my hold Through life’s fearful path

For my love is often cold, He must hold me fast

Chorus:     He will hold me fast, He will hold me fast

For my Savior loves me so, He will hold me fast

2    Those He saves are His delight, Christ will hold me fast

Precious in His holy sight, He will hold me fast

He’ll not let my soul be lost, His promises shall last

Bought by Him at such a cost, He will hold me fast

Repeat Chorus

3    For my life He bled and died, Christ will hold me fast

Justice has been satisfied, He will hold me fast

Raised with Him to endless life, He will hold me fast

Till our faith is turned to sight, When he comes at last

Repeat Chorus

I Sought the Lord

I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew

He moved my soul to seek him, seeking me;

It was not I that found, O Savior true;

No, I was found, was found of thee.

It was not I that found, O Savior true;

No, I was found, was found of thee.

Thou didst reach forth thy hand and mine enfold;

I walked and sank not on the storm-vexed sea;

'Twas not so much that I on thee took hold,

As thou, dear Lord, took hold on me.

'Twas not so much that I on thee took hold,

As thou, dear Lord, took hold on me.

I find, I walk, I love; but, oh, the whole

Of love is but my answer, Lord, to thee!

For thou wert long beforehand with my soul;

Always, always thou lovedst me.

For thou wert long beforehand with my soul;

Always, always thou lovedst me.
