The Meditation of Preparation

The child of God works not for life, but from life. We do not work to be saved, but because we are saved. - Charles Spurgeon, adapted

The Prelude “Come, Thou Almighty King” Travis

The Spoken Call to Worship Major Treadway

*The Processional Hymn No. 2 “Holy, Holy, Holy” NICAEA

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee. Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty! God in three persons, blessed Trinity!

Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee, casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee, which wert and art, and evermore shalt be.

Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide thee, though the eye of sinful flesh thy glory may not see, only thou art holy; there is none beside thee, perfect in power, in love, and purity.

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! All thy works shall praise thy name, in earth, and sky, and sea; Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty! God in three persons, blessed Trinity!

*The Litany of Praise Cole Mahaffey

Leader: The Lord be with you;

People: And also with you.

Leader: May God the Father bless you;

People: Have mercy on us.

Leader: May Jesus Christ take care of you;

People: Have mercy on us.

I want to walk as a child of the light; I want to follow Jesus. God set the stars to give light to the world, the star of my life is Jesus.

In him there is no darkness at all; the night and the day are both alike. The Lamb is the light of the city of God: Shine in my heart, Lord Jesus.

I’m looking for the coming of Christ; I want to be with Jesus. When we have run with patience the race, we shall know the joy of Jesus.
