CALL TO WORSHIP
*Hymn 715 Rejoice, the Lord is King+
1. Rejoice, the Lord is King!
Your Lord and King adore;
mortals, give thanks and sing,
and triumph evermore.
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.
2. Jesus the Savior reigns,
the God of truth and love;
when he had purged our stains,
he took his seat above.
Lift up your heart,
lift up your voice;
rejoice, again I say, rejoice.
3. His kingdom cannot fail;
he rules o'er earth and heaven;
the keys of earth and hell are to our Jesus given.
Lift up your heart,
lift up your voice;
rejoice, again I say, rejoice.
4 . Rejoice in glorious hope!
Jesus the Judge shall come,
and take his servants up to their eternal home.
We soon shall hear
th'archangel's voice; the trump of God
shall sound, rejoice!
WORDS: Charles Wesley, 1746, MUSIC: John Dorwall, 1770; harm. from Hymns Ancient & Modern, 1889, alt.

close binding humankind.

And all are kin to me.

throughout the whole wide earth.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name; Thy kingdom come;
Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven:
Give us this day our daily bread;
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory,
For ever and ever. Amen.

*HYMN OF SENDING FORTH 710 Faith of Our Fathers+

O how our hearts beat high with joy whene’er we hear that glorious word!
Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to thee till death.

and through the truth that comes from God, we all shall then be truly free.
Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to thee till death.
