A Mighty Fortress Ambassador Hymnal #141

A mighty fortress is our God, A bulwark never failing; Our helper He, amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing.

For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe; His craft and pow’r are great, And armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal.

Did we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing; Were not the right Man on our side, The Man of God’s own choosing.

Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Sabaoth His name, From age to age the same, And He must win the battle.

And tho’ this world, with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us; We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us.

The prince of darkness grim— We tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, For lo! his doom is sure, One little word shall fell him.

That word above all earthly pow’rs— No thanks to them abideth: The Spirit and the gifts are ours Thro’ Him who with us sideth.

Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still, His kingdom is forever.

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.

Exodus 13:17-22 Ephesians 6:10-17

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.

Offering

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.

“…and life everlasting” Children’s Message: “…and life everlasting”

He Leadeth Me Ambassador Hymnal #447

He leadeth me! O blessed thought! O words with heav’nly comfort fraught! Whate’er I do, where’er I be, Still ’tis God’s hand that leadeth me.

He leadeth me, He leadeth me, By His own hand He leadeth me: Refrain: He leadeth me, He leadeth me, By His own hand He leadeth me: His faithful follow’r I would be, For by His hand He leadeth me.

Sometimes ’mid scenes of deepest gloom, Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom, By waters still, or troubled sea, Still ’tis His hand that leadeth me.

He leadeth me, He leadeth me, By His own hand He leadeth me: Refrain: He leadeth me, He leadeth me, By His own hand He leadeth me: His faithful follow’r I would be, For by His hand He leadeth me.

Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine, Nor ever murmur nor repine, Content, whatever lot I see, Since ’tis my God that leadeth me.

He leadeth me, He leadeth me, By His own hand He leadeth me: Refrain: He leadeth me, He leadeth me, By His own hand He leadeth me: His faithful follow’r I would be, For by His hand He leadeth me.

And when my task on earth is done, When, by Thy grace, the vict’ry’s won, E’en death’s cold wave I will not flee, Since God thro’ Jordan leadeth me.

He leadeth me, He leadeth me, By His own hand He leadeth me: Refrain: He leadeth me, He leadeth me, By His own hand He leadeth me: His faithful follow’r I would be, For by His hand He leadeth me.

I Have Decided to Follow Jesus Ambassador Hymnal #501

I have decided to follow Jesus, No turning back, no turning back!

Tho’ no one join me, still I will follow, No turning back, no turning back!.

The world behind me, the cross before me, No turning back, no turning back!.

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

Have a wonderful day!
