Gathering the Family Together
As We Gather
As we gather, may Your Spirit work within us.
As we gather, may we glorify Your name.
Knowing well that as our hearts begin to worship,
We’ll be blessed because we came,
We’ll be blessed because we came.

Scripture Reading: II Timothy 3:12-17
12 Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
13 while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it
15 and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
Prayer of Invocation
Declaring What We Believe:
The Law of the Lord
The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul,
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
Refrain: More to be desired are they than gold
Yea than much fine gold
Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart,
The commandments of the Lord are pure, enlight’ning the eyes.
Repeat Refrain
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever,
The judgments of the Lord are fine, and righteous altogether
Repeat Refrain
Moreover by them, is Thy servant warned,
And in keeping of them, there is great reward.
Repeat Refrain.

We Respond to God’s Presence
Red Hymnal #457
Take Time to Be Holy
Take time to be holy, Speak often with God;
Find rest in Him always, And feed on His Word.
Make friends of God’s children, Help those who are weak;
Forgetting nothing His blessing to seek.
Take time to be holy, The world rushes on;
Much time spend in secret With Jesus alone.
By looking to Jesus, Like Him Thou shalt be;
Thy friends in thy conduct His likeness shall see.
Take time to be holy, Let Him be Thy guide,
And run not before Him Whatever betide.
In joy or in sorrow, Still follow Thy Lord,
And looking to Jesus, Still trust in His word.
Words: William D. Longstaff; Music: LONGSTAFF George C. Stebbins.
Before His Eye
- Faces covered, wings resplendent, Seraphim before Him bow!
Angels tremble, martyrs weep, and saints perfected praise Him now!
Holy is the angels’ Maker, He who spread His stars in the skies.
Holy is the Judge of Creation, all lies bare before His eyes!
- Woe is me, for I am ruined! For my eyes have seen the King!
Robed in righteousness, and holy: Hear the Voice of Judgment ring!
All unclean, my lips, my spirit, vile and foul in all I do!
All corrupt, my heart within me,
wretched, wicked through and through!
- Every hope I must abandon! Guilty, I await His stroke.
Now must come His righteous sentence:
Wait! A Bright Form parts the smoke!
Bleeding feet stride through the temple!
Christ approaches, weeping love!
Wounded hands remove my filthiness, God’s caress in every move.
- Freely righteous! Full atonement! Justified, from sin set free!
By the Word of God the Father, I’m declared as pure as HE!
At the Cross, His wounds acquit me!
Fatal wounds proclaim His praise!
And the Empty Tomb sings His glories:
Justice is assuaged by Grace!

Jesus Saves
Freedom’s calling, chains are falling, hope is dawning bright and true.
Day is breaking, night is quaking. God is making all things new.
Jesus saves.
- Hear the heart of heaven beating, “Jesus saves, Jesus saves,”
And the hush of mercy breathing, “Jesus saves, Jesus saves.”
Hear the host of angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King.”
And the sounding joy repeating, “Jesus saves.”
- See the humblest hearts adore Him. Jesus saves. Jesus saves.
And the wisest bow before Him. Jesus saves. Jesus saves.
See the sky alive with praise, melting darkness in its blaze.
There is light forevermore in “Jesus saves.”
- He will live, our sorrow sharing. Jesus saves. Jesus saves.
He will die our burden bearing. Jesus saves. Jesus saves.
“It is done!” will shout the cross, “Christ has paid redemptions’ cost!”
While the empty tomb’s declaring, “Jesus saves!”
Freedom’s calling, chains are falling, hope is dawning bright and true.
Day is breaking, night is quaking. God is making all things new. (Repeat)
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
- Oh, to grace, how great a debtor, Jesus saves. Jesus saves.
Are the saints who shout together, Jesus saves. Jesus saves.
Rising up so vast and strong, lifting up salvation’s song.
The redeemed will sing forever, “Jesus saves!”
Rising up so vast and strong, lifting up salvation’s song.
The redeemed will sing forever, “Jesus saves!”

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.
