Holy, Holy, Holy Ambassador Hymnal #134

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! Tho’ the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see; Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee, Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

Confession of Sin Ambassador Hymnal Pg. 2 Almighty God, our Maker and Redeemer, we poor sinners confess to You that we are by nature sinful and unclean, and that we have sinned against You in thought, word, and deed.

Confession of Sin Ambassador Hymnal Pg. 2 Therefore we flee for refuge to Your infinite mercy and ask You for Christ’s sake, grant us forgiveness of all our sins, and by Your Holy Spirit increase in us true knowledge of You and of Your will and true obedience to Your Word,

Confession of Sin Ambassador Hymnal Pg. 2 To the end that by Your grace we may come to eternal life, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Genesis 50:15-26 Revelation 21:1-8

Apostles’ Creed p. 4 in Ambassador Hymnal I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth; And in Jesus Christ, His only Son our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit; born of the virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead;…

Apostles’ Creed p. 4 in Ambassador Hymnal …He ascended into heaven; And is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From where He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit; The holy Christian Church, the Communion of Saints; the Forgiveness of sins; The Resurrection of the body, and the Life everlasting, Amen.

We give Thee but Thine own, Whate’er the gifts may be; All that we have is Thine alone, A trust, oh Lord, from Thee. Amen.

Children’s Message: What’s in the bag?

Open My Eyes Ambassador Hymnal #124

Open my eyes, that I may see Glimpses of truth Thou hast for me; Place in my hands the wonderful key That shall unclasp and set me free. Silently now I wait for Thee, Ready, my God, Thy will to see; Open my eyes—illumine me, Spirit divine!

Open my ears, that I may hear Voices of truth Thou sendest clear; And while the wave-notes fall on my ear, Ev’rything false will disappear. Silently now I wait for Thee, Ready, my God, Thy will to see; Open my ears—illumine me, Spirit divine!

Open my mouth, and let me bear Gladly the warm truth ev’rywhere; Open my heart and let me prepare Love with Thy children thus to share. Silently now I wait for Thee, Ready, my God, Thy will to see; Open my heart—illumine me, Spirit divine!

He the Pearly Gates Will Open Ambassador Hymnal #625

Love divine, so great and wondrous, Deep and mighty, pure, sublime! Coming from the heart of Jesus— Just the same thru tests of time.

Refrain: He the pearly gates will open, So that I may enter in; For He purchased my redemption And forgave me all my sin.

Like a dove when hunted, frightened, As a wounded fawn was I; Brokenhearted, yet He healed me— He will heed the sinner’s cry.

Refrain: He the pearly gates will open, So that I may enter in; For He purchased my redemption And forgave me all my sin.

Love divine, so great and wondrous! All my sins He then forgave! I will sing His praise forever, For His blood, His pow’r to save.

Refrain: He the pearly gates will open, So that I may enter in; For He purchased my redemption And forgave me all my sin.

In life’s eventide, at twilight, At His door I’ll knock and wait; By the precious love of Jesus I shall enter heaven’s gate.

Refrain: He the pearly gates will open, So that I may enter in; For He purchased my redemption And forgave me all my sin.

The LORD’s Prayer 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,

The LORD’s Prayer And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil; For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, And the glory, forever and ever. AMEN.

Amen Amen!

Have a blessed day!
