Hymn/ “To God Be the Glory” (# 79)

To God be the glory, great things He hath done,
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the Lifegate that all may go in.

REFRAIN
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father thro’ Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory, great things He hath done.

2. O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
   To every believer the promise of God;
   The vilest offender who truly believes,
   That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.

REFRAIN

3. Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,
   And great our rejoicing thro’ Jesus the Son;
   But purer, and higher, and greater will be
   Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.

Benediction/ Dan

Postlude/ Anna

August 30 Virtual Worship

Celebrate with us this week as we take one more step toward live worship!

Here is the order for worship:

Prelude / Anna DiVesta

Invocation (Responsive Call to Worship; and Unison Prayer) / Rev. Dan Wilson

Responsive Call to Worship
One: How majestic is God’s name in all the earth!
All: God is alive in all creation!
One: Everything which God makes is a reflection of God’s goodness.
All: Together, we praise God our Creator!
One: Thanks be to God for this day of life!
All: Let us rejoice and worship God!

Unison Prayer of Invocation
One: Let us pray.
All: God of life, you are a joy to behold! You are always near. Your constant closeness is a blessing. Realizing that you are close by each moment fills us with joy and peace. Every breath we breathe is a gift from you. Our every step, our every word, our every action is visible to you, God. You alone know the burdens that we are carrying. Sometimes our journey seems to go on forever, and we feel as though we never get any rest. Yet you are aware of our fatigue, God. This opportunity to receive nourishment from you fills us with gladness.

We thank you, God, that your revelation does not come to us because we are worthy. No, the truth is, you simply reveal things to people because you are a Gracious and Loving God.

Open our hearts to receive the gifts you would like to offer your Church during this time of worship. Jesus, you are our Risen Savior. We have heard your invitation to come to you. We long to walk in your footsteps and to live in your ways, Jesus. May we follow your lead and get behind you.

O Spirit of Christ, breathe upon us and breathe within us now as we worship you. Amen.

Hymn / “Majesty” (#4)

Majesty

Majesty, worship His majesty. Unto Jesus be all glory, honor and praise.
Majesty, kind authority flow from His throne unto His own; His anthem raise.

So exalt, lift up on high the name of Jesus. Magnify, come, glorify Christ Jesus the King.

Majesty, worship His majesty. Unto Jesus be all glory, honor and praise.
Majesty, kind authority flow from His throne unto His own; His anthem raise.

So exalt, lift up on high the name of Jesus. Magnify, come, glorify Christ Jesus the King.

Majesty, worship His Majesty; Jesus who died, now glorified, King of all kings.

Hymn / “Wherever He Leads I’ll Go” (#543)

Wherever He Leads I’ll Go

1. “Take up thy cross and follow me,” I heard my Master say;

Wherever He leads I’ll go, Wherever H leads I’ll go,

   And in that will I now abide, Wherever He leads I’ll go.

   I take my cross and follow Him, Wherever He leaders me.

   He is my Master, Lord, and King, Wherever He leads I’ll go.

This week’s hymns:

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

1. Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father,
   There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
   Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail not;
   As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.

REFRAIN
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided-
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

2. Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
   Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
   Join with all nature in manifold witness
   To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

REFRAIN

3. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
   Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
   Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
   Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

REFRAIN

Pass Me Not

1. Pass me not, O gentle Savior – Hear my humble cry!
   While on others Thou art calling, Do not pass me by.

CHORUS
Savior, Savior, Hear my humble cry!
While on others Thou art calling, Do not pass me by.

2. Let me at a throne of mercy Find a sweet relief;
   Kneeling there in deep contritions, Help my unbelief.

CHORUS

3. Trusting only in Thy merit, Would I seek Thy face;
   Heal my wounded, broken spirit, Save me by Thy grace.

CHORUS

4. Thou the spring of all my comfort, More than life to me!
   Whom have I on earth beside Thee? Whom in heav’n but Thee?

This week’s hymns:

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

1. Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
   Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise.
   Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sound by flaming tongues above;
   Praise His name – I’m fixed upon it – Name of God’s redeeming love.
2. 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, Wandering from the fold of God;
   He, to rescue me from danger, Bought me with His precious blood.
3. O to grace how great a debtor Daily I’m constrained to be!
   Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to Thee;
   Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love;
   Here’s my heart, O take and seal it; Seal it for Thy courts above.

Give to the Winds Your Fears

1. Give to the winds your fears, Hope, and be undismayed;
   God hears your sighs and counts your tears, God shall lift up your head.
   Through waves and clouds and storms He gently clears the way;
   Wait for His time, so shall the night Soon end in joyous day.
2. Still heavy is your heart? Still sink your spirits down?
   Cast off the weight, let fear depart, And every care be gone.
   He everywhere has sway And all things serve His mind;
   His every act pure blessing is, His path unsullied light.
3. Far, far above your thought His counsel shall appear,
   When fully He the work has wrought That caused your needless fear.
   Leave to His sovereign will To choose and to command;
   With wonder filled, you then shall own How wise, how strong His hand.

July 26 Virtual Worship

Thank you for joining us again this week for worship. We pray that, even when it may be hard to find, you can see hope in this world.

The Peace of Mind That Christ Can Bring

1. The peace of mind that Christ can bring Is peace in knowing how to sing
   In spite of doubts of why or how, In spite of fears of here and now.
2. The peace that strengthens faithful souls Cannot be built on self-made goals,
   But rather comes to those wo heed A call for help in time of need.
3. So one finds peace within the heart when each with others bears a part.
   When peace for me is peace for you, Then Christ is present, peace is true.
4. So Christ, invade our life and will Until we see your justice still
   Defining best all human worth, Reshaping dreams of peace on earth.

You Are My All In All

1. You are my strength when I am weak, You are the treasure that I seek.
   You are my all in all.
   Seeking you as a precious jewel; Lord, to give up, I’d be a fool,
   Your are my all in all.

REFRAIN
Jesus, Lamb of God, Worthy is Your name.
Jesus, Lamb of God, Worthy is Your name.

2. Taking my sin, my cross, my shame; Rising again, I bless Your name,
   You are my all in all.
   When I fall down You pick me up; When I am dry you fill my cup,
   You are my all in all.

More Love to Thee

1. More love to Thee, O Christ, More love to thee!
   Hear Thou the prayer I make on bended knee;
   This is my earnest plea: More love, O Christ, to Thee,
   More love to Thee, More love to Thee!
2. Once earthly joy I craved, Sought peace and rest;
   Now Thee alone I seek, Give what is best;
   This all my prayer shall be: More love, O Christ, to Thee,
   More love to Thee, More love to Thee!
3. Let sorrow do its work, Send grief and pain;
   Sweet are Thy messengers, Sweet their refrain;
   When they can sing with me: More love, O Christ, to Thee,
   More love to Thee, More love to Thee!
4. Then shall my latest breath Whisper Thy praise;
   This be the parting cry My heart shall raise;
   This still its prayer shall be: More love, O Christ, to Thee,
   More love to Thee, More love to Thee!

Spirit Song

1. O let the Son of God enfold you with his Spirit and his love,
   let Him fill your life and satisfy your soul.
   O let him have the things that hold you and his Spirit, like a dove,
   will descend upon your life and make you whole.

Refrain
Jesus, come and fill your lambs.
Jesus, O Jesus, come and fill your lambs.

2. O come and sing t his song with gladness as you r hearts are filled with joy,
   lift your hands in sweet surrender to his name.
   O give him all your tears and sadness, give him all your years of pain
   and you’ll enter into life in Jesus’ name.

Refrain
