All: Let the whole earth be filled with his glory.?*Hymn 476O Worship the King, All Glorious Above O worship the King, all glorious above!O gratefully sing God’s power and God’s love;Our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days,Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.O tell of God’s might, O sing of God’s grace,Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space.The chariots of heav’n the deep thunderclouds form,And bright is God’s path on the wings of the storm.The earth with its store of wonders untold,Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old;Hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree,And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea.Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite?It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end,Our maker, defender, redeemer, and friend.Corporate Prayer of Confession O gracious God, Your love is amazing. You forgive, even when we disobey. You care for us, even when we are ungrateful. You guide us, even when we rebel. We thank You for such amazing love. As we have sinned, both by what we have done and by what we have left undone, have mercy on us. Treat us not as our disobedience deserves, nor repay us according to our rebellious acts.

I’m fixed upon it,Mount of God’s unchanging love!Here I raise my Ebenezer,Hither by Thy help I’m 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.O to grace how great a debtor Daily I’m constrained to be!Let that grace now, 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 for Thy courts above.Benediction Postlude ................
