Praise & Worship
Prelude: Improvisation on "Take My Life"
Opening Hymn: “Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing” #16
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 measure
sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it,
mount of thy redeeming love.
2 Here I raise to thee an altar;
hither by thy help I've 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,
interposed 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 from thy courts above.
Special Music: "As The Deer"
Closing Hymn: “Rejoice, the Lord is King!” #699
1 Rejoice, the Lord is King!
The risen Christ adore!
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing,
and triumph evermore:
lift up your heart,
lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
2 God's reign can never fail,
Christ rules o’er earth and heaven;
the keys of death and hell
are to our Jesus given:
lift up your heart,
lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
3 Rejoice in glorious hope!
For Christ, our Judge, shall come
to glorify the saints
for their eternal home:
lift up your heart,
lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
