Opening Hymn “Lead on O King Eternal”

Lead on O King Eternal the day of march has come

Henceforth in fields of conquest Thy tents shall be our home

Thro' days of preparation Thy grace has made us strong

And now O King eternal we lift our battle song

Lead on O King Eternal till sin's fierce war shall cease

And holiness shall whisper the sweet Amen of peace

For not with swords loud clashing nor roll of stirring drums

With deeds of love and mercy the heav'nly kingdom comes

Lead on O King Eternal we follow not with fears

For gladness breaks like morning where'er Thy face appears

Thy cross is lifted o'er us we journey in its light

The crown awaits the conquest lead on O God of might

Amen!

What a friend we have in Jesus all our sins and griefs to bear

What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer

O what peace we often forfeit O what needless pain we bear

All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer

Have we trials and temptations is there trouble anywhere

We should never be discouraged take it to the Lord in prayer

Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share

Jesus knows our every weakness take it to the Lord in prayer

Are we weak and heavy laden cumbered with a load of care

Precious Savior still our refuge take it to the Lord in prayer

Do thy friends despise forsake thee take it to the Lord in prayer

In His arms He'll take and shield thee Thou wilt find a solace there

Amen!

Sermon My Hope is Found

Closing Hymn “In Christ Alone the Solid Rock”

In Christ alone, my hope is found He is my light, my strength, my song

This cornerstone, this solid ground firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace when fears are stilled, when strivings cease

My comforter, my all in all here in the love of Christ, I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh fullness of God in helpless babe

This gift of love and righteousness scorned by the ones He came to save

Till on that cross as Jesus died the wrath of God was satisfied

For every sin on Him was laid here in the death of Christ, I live

There in the ground, His body lay light of the world, by darkness slain

Then bursting forth in glorious day up from the grave, He rose again

And as He stands in victory sins curse has lost its grip on me

For I am His and He is mine bought with the precious blood of Christ!

On Christ the Solid Rock I stand all other ground is sinking sand

All other ground is sinking sand! on Christ the Solid Rock I stand

All other ground is sinking sand all other ground is sinking sand!

No guilt in life, no fear in death this is the power of Christ in me

From life's first cry to final breath Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man can ever pluck me from His hand

Till He returns or calls me home here in the power of Christ, I'll stand!

Here in the power of Christ, I'll stand! here in the power of Christ, I'll stand!

Opening Hymn “Hosanna Loud Hosanna”

Hosanna loud hosanna the little children sang

Through pillared court and temple the joyful anthem rang

To Jesus who had blessed them close folded to his breast

The children sang their praises the simplest and the best

From Olivet they followed 'mid an exultant crowd

The victor palm-branch waving and chanting clear and loud

The Lord of men and angels rode on in lowly state

Nor scorned that little children should on his bidding wait

Hosanna in the Highest that ancient song we sing

For Christ is our Redeemer the Lord of heaven our King

O may we ever praise him with heart and life and voice

And in his blissful presence eternally rejoice

Eternally rejoice

Opening Hymn “The Church’s One Foundation”

The Church's one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord

She is His new creation by water and the Word

From heav'n He came and sought her to be His holy bride

With His own blood He bought her and for her life He died

Elect from every nation yet one o'er all the earth

Her charter of salvation one Lord one faith one birth

One holy name she blesses partakes one holy food

And to one hope she presses with every grace endued

'Mid toil and tribulation and tumult of her war

She waits the consummation of peace forevermore

Till with the vision glorious her longing eyes are blest

And the great Church victorious shall be the Church at rest

Yet she on earth hath union with God the Three in One

And mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won

O happy ones and holy Lord give us grace that we

Like them the meek and lowly on high may dwell with Thee

Eyes to see Your smiling face within the mystery

Are big with mercy and shall break in blessings on your head

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense but trust Him for His grace

Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face [Chorus]

Because I know He holds the future and life is worth the living

Opening Hymn “Sing Praise to God”

Sing praise to God who reigns above

The God of all creation

The God of power the God of love

The God of our salvation

With healing balm my soul He fills

And every faithless murmur stills

To God all praise and glory

The Lord is never far away

But through all grief distressing

An ever-present help and stay

Our peace and joy and blessing

As with a mother's tender hand

He leads His own His chosen band

To God all praise and glory

Thus all my gladsome way along

I sing aloud Thy praises

That all may hear the grateful song

My voice unwearied raises

Be joyful in the Lord my heart

Both soul and body bear your part

To God all praise and glory

Amen!

Closing Hymn “Victory in Jesus”

I heard an old old story how a Savior came from glory

How He gave His life on Calvary to save a wretch like me

I heard about His groaning of His precious blood's atoning

Then I repented of my sins and won the victory

Chorus

O victory in Jesus my Savior forever

He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood

He loved me ere I knew Him and all my love is due Him

He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood

I heard about His healing of His cleansing pow'r revealing

How He made the lame to walk again and caused the blind to see

And then I cried dear Jesus come and heal my broken spirit

And somehow Jesus came and brought to me the victory [Chorus]

I heard about a mansion He has built for me in glory

And I heard about the streets of gold beyond the crystal sea

About the angels singing and the old redemption story

And some sweet day I'll sing up there the song of victory [Chorus]

Opening Hymn “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 pow'rs 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

O God our help in ages past our hope for years to come

Our shelter from the stormy blast and our eternal home

Under the shadow of Thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure

Sufficient is Thine arm alone and our defense is sure

Before the hills in order stood or earth received her frame

From everlasting Thou art God to endless years the same

A thousand ages in Thy sight are like an evening gone

Short as the watch that ends the night before the rising sun

Time like an ever rolling stream bears all its sons away

They fly forgotten as a dream dies at the op'ning day

Be Thou our guard while troubles last and our eternal home

Once in royal David's city stood a lowly cattle shed

Where a mother laid her Baby in a manger for His bed

Mary was that mother mild Jesus Christ her little Child

He came down to earth from heaven who is God and Lord of all

And His shelter was a stable and His cradle was a stall

With the poor and mean and lowly lived on earth our Savior holy

And our eyes at last will see Him through His own redeeming love

For that Child so dear and gentle is our Lord in heaven above

And He leads His children on to the place where He is gone

Opening Hymn “In the Bleak Midwinter”

In the bleak midwinter frosty wind made moan

Earth stood hard as iron water like a stone

Snow had fallen snow on snow snow on snow

In the bleak midwinter long ago

Our God heav'n cannot hold Him nor earth sustain

Heav'n and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign

In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed

The Lord God Almighty Jesus Christ

Angels and archangels may have gathered there

Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air

But His mother only in her maiden bliss

Worshipped the Beloved with a kiss

What can I give Him poor as I am

If I were a shepherd I would bring a lamb

If I were a wise man I would do my part

Yet what can I give Him give my heart

O little town of Bethlehem how still we see thee lie above thy deep and dreamless sleep

The silent stars go by yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting Light

The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight

For Christ is born of Mary and gathered all above while mortals sleep the angels keep

Their watch of wondering love O morning stars together proclaim the holy birth

And praises sing to God the King and peace to men on earth

How silently how silently the wondrous gift is given so God imparts to human hearts

The blessings of His heaven no ear may hear His coming but in this world of sin

Where meek souls will receive Him still the dear Christ enters in

O holy Child of Bethlehem descend to us we pray cast out our sin and enter in

Be born in us today we hear the Christmas angels the great glad tidings tell

O come to us abide with us our Lord Emmanuel

Sermon In the Bleak Mid-Tax Season

To save us all from Satan's pow'r when we were gone astray

O tidings of comfort and joy comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy

From God our heavenly Father a blessed angel came

And unto certain shepherds brought tidings of the same

How that in Bethlehem was born the Son of God by name

O tidings of comfort and joy comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy

Now to the Lord sing praises all you within this place

And with true love and brotherhood each other now embrace

This holy tide of Christmas all others doth deface

O tidings of comfort and joy comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy

Closing Hymn “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear”

It came upon the midnight clear that glorious song of old

From angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold

Peace on the earth good will to men from heaven's all gracious King

The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing

Still thro' the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurled

And still their heavenly music floats o'er all the weary world

Above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing

And ever o'er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing

But with the woes of sin and strife the world has suffered long

Beneath the angel-strain have rolled two thousand years of wrong

And man, at war with man, hears not the love-song which they bring

Oh hush the noise, ye men of strife, and hear the angels sing

For lo the days are hastening on by prophet bards foretold

When with the ever-circling years comes round the age of gold

When peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendors fling

And the whole world give back the song which now the angels sing

And can it be that I should gain an interest in the Savior's blood

Died He for me who caused His pain for me who Him to death pursued

Amazing love how can it be that Thou my God shouldst die for me

Amazing love how can it be that Thou my God shouldst die for me

He left His Father's throne above so free so infinite His grace

Emptied Himself of all but love and bled for Adam's helpless race

'Tis mercy all immense and free for O my God it found out me

'Tis mercy all immense and free for O my God it found out me

Long my imprisoned spirit lay fast bound in sin and nature's night

Thine eye diffused a quickening ray I woke the dungeon flamed with light

My chains fell off my heart was free I rose went forth and followed Thee

My chains fell off my heart was free I rose went forth and followed Thee

No condemnation now I dread Jesus and all in Him is mine

Alive in Him my living Head and clothed in righteousness divine

Bold I approach th'eternal throne and claim the crown thru Christ my own

All the world is God's own field fruit unto His praise to yield

Wheat and tares together sown unto joy or sorrow grown

First the blade and then the ear then the full corn shall appear

Lord of harvest grant that we wholesome grain and pure may be

For the Lord our God shall come and shall take His harvest home

From His field shall in that day all offenses purge away

Give His angels charge at last in the fire the tares to cast

But the fruitful ears to store in His garner evermore

Even so Lord quickly come to Thy final harvest-home

Gather Thou Thy people in free from sorrow free from sin

There forever purified in Thy presence to abide

Come with all Thine angels come raise the glorious harvest-home

Opening Hymn “Eternal Father Strong to Save”

Eternal Father, strong to save whose arm does bind the restless wave,

Who bids the mighty ocean deep its own appointed limits keep;

O hear us when we cry to Thee for those in peril on the sea

O Savior, whose almighty word the winds and waves submissive heard,

Who walked upon the foaming deep, and calm amid the rage did sleep;

O hear us when we cry to Thee for those in peril on the sea

O Holy Spirit, who did brood upon the waters dark and rude,

And bid their angry tumult cease, and give for wild confusion peace;

O hear us when we cry to Thee for those in peril on the sea

O Trinity of love and pow'r, your children shield in danger's hour;

From rock and tempest, fire, and foe, protect them where-so-e'er they go;

Thus, evermore shall rise to Thee glad hymns of praise from land and sea

Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it mount of Thy redeeming love

Here I raise mine Ebenezer hither by Thy help I'm come

And I hope by Thy good pleasure safely to arrive at home

Jesus sought me when a stranger wand'ring from the fold of God

He to rescue me from danger interposed His precious blood

O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be

Let Thy grace Lord like a fetter bind my wand'ring heart to Thee

I sing the goodness of the Lord that filled the earth with food

He formed the creatures with His word and then pronounced them good

Lord how Thy wonders are displayed where'er I turn my eye

If I survey the ground I tread or gaze upon the sky

There's not a plant or flower below but makes Thy glories known

Jesus calls us o'er the tumult of our life's wild, restless sea;

Day by day His sweet voice soundeth, saying, "Christian, follow me."

Jesus calls us from the worship of the vain world's golden store,

From each idol that would keep us, saying, "Christian, love me more."

In our joys and in our sorrows, days of toil and hours of ease,

Still He calls, in cares and pleasures, "Christian, love me more than these."

Jesus calls us- by Thy mercies, Savior, may we hear Thy call;

Give our hearts to Thine obedience, serve and love Thee best of all.

What heights of love, what depths of peace when fears are stilled, when strivings cease

My comforter, my all in all here in the love of Christ, I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh fullness of God in helpless babe

This gift of love and righteousness scorned by the ones He came to save

Till on that cross as Jesus died the wrath of God was satisfied

For every sin on Him was laid here in the death of Christ, I live

There in the ground, His body lay light of the world, by darkness slain

Then bursting forth in glorious day up from the grave, He rose again

And as He stands in victory sins curse has lost its grip on me

For I am His and He is mine bought with the precious blood of Christ!

On Christ the Solid Rock I stand all other ground is sinking sand

All other ground is sinking sand! on Christ the Solid Rock I stand

All other ground is sinking sand all other ground is sinking sand!

No guilt in life, no fear in death this is the power of Christ in me

From life's first cry to final breath Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man can ever pluck me from His hand

Till He returns or calls me home here in the power of Christ, I'll stand!

Here in the power of Christ, I'll stand! here in the power of Christ, I'll stand!

Joyful joyful we adore Thee God of glory Lord of love

Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee opening to the sun above

Melt the clouds of sin and sadness drive the dark of doubt away

“At the Name of Jesus”

At the name of Jesus ev'ry knee shall bow

Ev'ry tongue confess Him King of Glory now

'Tis the Father's pleasure we should call Him Lord

Who from the beginning was the mighty Word

Humble for a season to receive a name

From the lips of sinners unto whom He came

Faithfully He bore it spotless to the last

Brought it back victorious when from death He passed

Christians this Lord Jesus shall return again

In His Father's glory with His angel train

For the wreaths of empire meet upon his brow

And our hearts confess Him King of glory now amen

What a glory He sheds on our way while we do His good will

He abides with us still and with all who will trust and obey

Trust and obey for there's no other way

To be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey

But His smile quickly drives it away not a doubt nor a fear

Not a sigh nor a tear can abide while we trust and obey [Chorus]

Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet

Or we’ll walk by His side in the way what He says we will do

Glory glory hallelujah glory glory hallelujah

Glory glory hallelujah His truth is marching on

I have seen Him in the watchfires of a hundred circling camps

They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps

I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps

His day is marching on [Chorus]

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat

He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat

O be swift my soul to answer Him be jubilant my feet

To fallen soldiers let us sing where no rockets fly nor bullets wing

Our broken brothers let us bring to the Mansions of the Lord

No more bleeding, no more fight no prayers pleading through the night

Just divine embrace, eternal light to the Mansions of the Lord

Where no mothers cry and no children weep

We will stand and guard though the angels sleep

Through the ages safely keep

The Mansions of the Lord

Time for Gathering

Opening Hymn “Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah”

Guide me O Thou great Jehovah pilgrim through this barren land

I am weak but Thou art mighty hold me with Thy pow'rful hand

Bread of heaven Bread of heaven

Feed me now and ever more feed me now and ever more

Open now the crystal fountain whence the healing stream doth flow

Let the fiery cloudy pillar lead me all my journey through

Strong Deliverer strong Deliverer

Be Thou still my strength and shield be Thou still my strength and shield

When I tread the verge of Jordan bid my anxious fears subside

Death of death and hell's destruction land me safe on Canaan's side

Songs of praises songs of praises

I will ever give to Thee I will ever give to Thee

Sermon The Accuser

Closing Hymn “Am I a Soldier of the Cross”

Am I a soldier of the cross a foll'wer of the Lamb

And shall I fear to own His cause or blush to speak His Name

Must I be carried to the skies on flow'ry beds of ease

While others fought to win the prize and sailed through bloody seas

Are there no foes for me to face must I not stem the flood

Is this vile world a friend to grace to help me on to God

Sure I must fight if I would reign increase my courage Lord

I'll bear the toil endure the pain supported by Thy Word

Thy saints in all this glorious war shall conquer though they die

They see the triumph from afar by faith's discerning eye

When that illustrious day shall rise and all Thy armies shine

In robes of victory through skies the glory shall be Thine

Opening Hymn
“Now Thank We All Our God”
Now thank we all our God with heart and hands and voices
Who wondrous things hath done in whom this world rejoices
Who from our mothers' arms hath blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love and still is ours today
O may this bounteous God through all our life be near us
With ever joyful hearts and blessed peace to cheer us
To keep us in his grace and guide us when perplexed
And free us from all ills of this world in the next
All praise and thanks to God the Father now be given
The Son and Him who reigns with them in highest heaven
The one eternal God whom heaven and earth adore
For thus it was is now and shall be evermore

Sermon Losing to LoveClosing Hymn
“Love Divine All Loves Excelling”
Love divine, all loves excelling, joy of heav’n, to earth come down,
Fix in us thy humble dwelling, all thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, thou art all compassion, pure, unbounded love thou art.
Visit us with thy salvation; enter every trembling heart.
Come, Almighty, to deliver, let us all thy life receive.
Suddenly return, and never, nevermore thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing, serve thee as thy hosts above,
pray, and praise thee without ceasing, glory in thy perfect love.
Finish, then, thy new creation; true and spotless let us be.
Let us see thy great salvation perfectly restored in thee.
Changed from glory into glory, till in heav’n we take our place,
Till we cast our crowns before thee, lost in wonder, love and praise.
