11:00AM ORDER OF WORSHIP8:45AM ORDER OF WORSHIP HYMNS & ANTHEM†Opening Hymn #337 Praise to the Lord, the Almighty
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation! O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near; Join me in glad adoration!
Praise to the Lord, who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth, Shelters thee under His wings, yea, so gently sustaineth!
Hast thou not seen how all thy longings have been Granted in what He ordaineth!
Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee; Surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend thee.
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do, If with His love He befriend thee.
Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore Him! All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him.
Let the Amen sound from His people again: Gladly for aye we adore Him.
Anthem Worthy to be Praised Holy holy holy. Praise our God, Almighty. Worthy and holy. Lord eternally.
Praise the Lord in the highest, praise His Holy name. Let all things that haveth the breath, just praise the Lord.
I believe in the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. I will sing, I will shout, He’s worthy to be praised, to be praised!
We have come into the House of the Lord, to praise His Holy Name. To give glory, honor and adore, His Son whose life He gave.
Let the trumpet sound, let the rocks resound, our sinful souls He saved I will sing, I will shout, He’s worthy to be praised, to be praised!
Join all and let ev’ry voice sing out that He’s worthy, worthy to be praised! Worthy, He is worthy, my God is worthy. I believe in the Father,
the Son and the Holy Ghost. I will sing, He’s worthy to be praised, to be praised!
†Closing Hymn #92 The Solid Rock My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
Chorus: On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand, all other ground is sinking sand.When darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the veil. (Chorus)His oath, His covenant, His blood, support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way, He then is all my hope and stay. (Chorus)When He shall come with trumpet sound, O may I then in Him be found; Dressed in His righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne.
(Chorus)
