    Scripture Reading:                                                John 11:21-27, 38-44

    21 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

    22 But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you.”

    23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”

    24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.”

    25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,

    26 and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

    27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world…

     

    38 Then Jesus… came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

    39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for he has been dead four days.”

    40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?”

    41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me.

    42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this on account of the people standing around, that they may believe that you sent me.”

    43 When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.”

    44 The man who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”

    Declaring What We Believe

    Come Behold the Wondrous Mystery

    1. Come behold the wondrous myst’ry in the dawning of the King,

    He the theme of heaven’s praises, robed in frail humanity.

    In our longing, in our darkness, now the Light of Life has come.

    Look to Christ, who condescended, took on flesh to ransom us.

     

    1. Come behold the wondrous myst’ry, He the perfect Son of Man,

    In His living, in His suffering, never trace nor stain of sin.

    See the true and better Adam, come to save the hell-bound man.

    Christ the great and sure fulfillment of the law, in Him we stand.

     

    1. Come behold the wondrous myst’ry, Christ the Lord upon the tree.

    In the stead of ruined sinners, hangs the Lamb in victory.

    See the price of our redemption; see the Father’s plan unfold.

    Bringing many sons to glory, grace unmeasured, love untold.

     

    1. Come behold the wondrous myst’ry, slain by death the God of life,

    But no grave could e’er restrain Him. Praise the Lord; He is alive!

    What a foretaste of deliv’rance; how unwavering our hope.

    Christ in power resurrected as we will be when He comes.

    What a foretaste of deliv’rance; how unwavering our hope.

    Christ in power resurrected as we will be when He comes.

  • We Respond to God’s Presence

     

    We Go to All the World

    1. Facing a task unfinished, That drives us to our knees.

    A need that, undiminished, Rebukes our slothful ease.

    We, who rejoice to know Thee, Renew before Thy throne

    The solemn pledge we owe Thee To go and make Thee known.

     

    1. Where other lords beside Thee Hold their unhindered sway:

    Where forces that defied Thee, Defy Thee still today.

    With none to heed their crying For life, and love, and light,

    Unnumbered souls are dying And pass into the night.

     

    Refrain:   We go to all the world, With kingdom hope unfurled.

    No other name has power to save But Jesus Christ the Lord.

     

    1. We bear the torch that, flaming, Fell from the hands of those

    Who gave their lives proclaiming That Jesus died and rose.

    Ours is the same commission, The same glad message ours:

    Fired by the same ambition, To Thee we yield our powers.

     

    Refrain:   We go to all the world, With kingdom hope unfurled.

    No other name has power to save But Jesus Christ the Lord.

     

    1. O Father who sustained them, O Spirit who inspired,

    Saviour, whose love constrained them To toil with zeal untired.

    From cowardice defend us, From lethargy awake!

    Forth on Thine errands send us To labour for Thy sake.

     

    Refrain:   We go to all the world, With kingdom hope unfurled.

    No other name has power to save But Jesus Christ the Lord.  (Repeat Refrain)

    Come, People of the Risen King

    1. Come, people of the risen King, who delight to bring Him praise.

    Come all, and tune your hearts to sing to the Morning Star of grace.

    From the shifting shadows of the earth we will lift our eyes to Him,

    Where steady arms of mercy reach to gather children in.

     

    Refrain:     Rejoice! Rejoice! Let every tongue rejoice!

    One heart, one voice: oh, Church of Christ, rejoice!

     

    1. Come, those whose joy is morning sun,

    and those weeping through the night.

    Come, those who tell of battles won, and those struggling in the fight.

    For His perfect love will never change, and His mercies never cease,

    But follow us through all our days with the certain hope of peace.

    Repeat Refrain

     

    1. Come, young and old from every land, men and women of the faith.

    Come, those with full or empty hands; find the riches of His grace.

    Over all the world His people sing; shore to shore we hear them call

    The Truth that cries through every age: “Our God is all in all.”
