Welcome & Scripture Reading

Song - O For a Thousand
O for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer's praise
The glories of my God and King
The triumphs of his grace
My gracious Master and my God
Assist me to proclaim
To spread thro' all the earth abroad
The honors of your name

CHORUS
O for a thousand! (Echo)
O for a thousand! (Echo)
O for a thousand! (Echo)
Tongues to sing

The name of Jesus charms our fears
It bids our sorrows cease
It’s music in the sinner's ears
It’s life and health and peace
He breaks the power of reigning sin
He sets the prisoner free
His blood can make the foulest clean
His blood availed for me.

CHORUS

He speaks and list’ning to his voice
New life the dead receive
The mournful broken hearts rejoice
The humble poor believe
Hear him you deaf! You voiceless ones
Your loosened tongues employ
You blind, behold your Savior come
And leap, you lame for joy

Prayer

Scripture Reading

Song - Come, People of the Risen King

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

CHORUS
Rejoice, Rejoice
Let every tongue rejoice
One heart, one voice
O Church of Christ, rejoice

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

CHORUS

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"

Choir - Sacred Harp No. 178, “Africa”

Now shall my inward joys arise
And burst into a song
Almighty love inspires my heart
And pleasure tunes my tongue

God, on His thirsty Zion’s hill
Some mercy drops has thrown
And solemn oaths have bound His love
To show’r salvation down

Why do we then indulge our fears
Suspicions and complaints?
Is He a God, and shall His grace
Grow weary of His saints?

Deep on the palms of both his hands
He has engraved our names
His hands shall raise our ruined walls
And build our broken frame

Once he died our souls to save, Alleluia!
Where's thy victory, o grave? Alleluia!

Soar we now where Christ has led, Alleluia!
Following our exalted Head, Alleluia!
Made like him, like him we rise, Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Alleluia!
