Hallelujah, Praise Jehovah Hymn 110: Hallelujah, Praise Jehovah

Hallelujah, praise Jehovah, from the heavens praise his name; praise Jehovah in the highest, all his angels, praise proclaim. All his hosts, together praise him, sun and moon and stars on high; praise him, O you heavens of heavens, and you floods above the sky.

Let them praises give Jehovah, for his name alone is high, and his glory is exalted, and his glory is exalted, and his glory is exalted far above the earth and sky.

Let them praises give Jehovah, they were made at his command; them forever he established, his decree shall ever stand. From the earth, O praise Jehovah, all you seas, you monsters all, fire and hail and snow and vapors, stormy winds that hear his call.

Let them praises give Jehovah, for his name alone is high, and his glory is exalted, and his glory is exalted, and his glory is exalted far above the earth and sky.

All you fruitful trees and cedars, all you hills and mountains high, creeping things and beasts and cattle, birds that in the heavens fly, kings of earth, and all you people, princes great, earth's judges all; praise his name, young men and maidens, aged men, and children small.

Let them praises give Jehovah, for his name alone is high, and his glory is exalted, and his glory is exalted, and his glory is exalted far above the earth and sky.

Westminster Confession of Faith Chapter 26 Of the Communion of Saints

1. All saints, that are united to Jesus Christ their Head, by his Spirit, and by faith, have fellowship with him in his graces, sufferings, death, resurrection, and glory: and, being united to one another in love, they have communion in each other’s gifts and graces, and are obliged to the performance of such duties, public and private, as do conduce to their mutual good, both in the inward and outward man.

2. Saints by profession are bound to maintain a holy fellowship and communion in the worship of God, and in performing such other spiritual services as tend to their mutual edification; as also in relieving each other in outward things, according to their several abilities and necessities. Which communion, as God offereth opportunity, is to be

extended unto all those who, in every place, call upon the name of the Lord Jesus. 3. This communion which the saints have with Christ, doth not make them in any wise partakers of the substance of his Godhead; or to be equal with Christ in any respect: either of which to affirm is impious and blasphemous. Nor doth their communion one with another, as saints, take away, or infringe the title or propriety which each man hath in his goods and possessions.

Our God, Our Help in Ages Past Hymn 30 (1,3-4,6-7): Our God, Our Help in Ages Past

Our God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home: 3. Before the hills in order stood, or earth received her frame, from everlasting you are God, to endless years the same. 4. A thousand ages in your sight are like an evening gone; short as the watch that ends the night before the rising sun.

6. Time, like an ever-rolling stream, bears all its sons away; they fly forgotten, as a dream dies at the opening day. 7. Our God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come: O be our guard while troubles last, and our eternal home.

Hymn 355: We Are God’s People

We are God’s people, the chosen of the Lord, born of his Spirit, established by his Word; our cornerstone is Christ alone, and strong in him we stand: O let us live transparently, and walk heart to heart and hand in hand.

We are God’s loved ones, the Bride of Christ our Lord, for we have known it, the love of God outpoured; now let us learn how to return the gift of love once given: O let us share each joy and care, and live with a zeal that pleases Heaven.

We are the Body of which the Lord is Head, called to obey him, now risen from the dead; he wills us be a family, diverse yet truly one; O let us give our fights to God, and so shall his work on earth be done.

We are a temple, the Spirit’s dwelling place, formed in great weakness, a cup to hold God’s grace; we die alone, for on its own each member loses fire; yet joined in one the flame burns on to give warmth and light, and to inspire.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-11(ESV) Scripture Reading: 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11(ESV)

Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. 2 For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

4 But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. 5 For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. 6 So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night.

8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. 9 For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. 11 Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.

Blest Be the Tie That Binds Hymn 359: Blest Be the Tie That Binds

Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love: the fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above. Before the Father's throne we pour our ardent prayers; our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, our comforts and our cares. We share our mutual woes, our mutual burdens bear, and often for each other flows the sympathizing tear.

When we asunder part, it gives us inward pain; but we shall still be joined in heart, and hope to meet again. This glorious hope revives our courage by the way, while each in expectation lives, and longs to see the day. From sorrow, toil and pain, and sin, we shall be free; and perfect love and friendship reign through all eternity.

Benediction .

God of glory, power, mercy, all creation praises thee; we, thy creatures, would adore thee now and through eternity. Saved to magnify thy goodness, grant us strength to do thy will; with our acts as with our voices thy commandments to fulfill.
