‘THE OPENING HYMN OF PRAISE’   #139 GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS

(1b) Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed Thy hand hath provided; Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

THE HOLY SCRIPTURE MATTHEW 22:36-40 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

MATTHEW 28:18-20 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

SPECIAL MUSIC Pastor Dustin, guitar   SPECIAL MUSIC Pastor Dustin, guitar

O Lord my God, (1) When I in awesome wonder, Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made; I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout The universe displayed. Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art. How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

When through the woods, (2) and forest glades I wander, And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees. When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze. Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art. How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

And when I think, (3) That God, His Son not sparing; Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; That on the Cross, My burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin. Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art. How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

When Christ shall come, (4) with shout of acclamation, And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart. Then I shall bow, in humble adoration, And then proclaim: “My God, how great Thou art!” Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art. How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

#635 ‘IN THE GARDEN’

I come to the garden alone, While the dew is still on the roses, And the voice I hear falling on my ear The Son of God discloses. And He walks with me, (1) and He talks with me, And He tells me I am His own; And the joy we share as we tarry there, None other has ever known.

He speaks, and the sound of His voice Is so sweet the birds hush their singing, And the melody that He gave to me Within my heart is ringing. And He walks with me, (2) and He talks with me, And He tells me I am His own; And the joy we share as we tarry there, None other has ever known.

I’d stay in the garden with Him, Though the night around me be falling, But He bids me go; Through the voice of woe His voice to me is calling. And He walks with me, (3) and He talks with me, And He tells me I am His own; And the joy we share as we tarry there, None other has ever known.

THE PASTORAL BENEDICTION Go forth from this place as God’s elect and covenant people . . . AMEN
