Ascribe to the L ORD, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the L ORD glory and strength! Ascribe to the L ORD the glory due his name… Psalm 96:7-9 Call to Worship

bring an offering, and come into his courts! Worship the L ORD in the splendor of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth!

O worship the King all-glorious above, O gratefully sing his pow’r and his love; Text: Robert Grant (Psalm 104) Music: Johann Michael Haydn O Worship The King

our shield and defender the Ancient of Days, pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.

O tell of his might, O sing of his grace, whose robe is the light, whose canopy space.

His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, and dark is his path on the wings of the storm.

The earth with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, thy power hath founded of old;

established 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. “O Worship The King” Text: Robert Grant (Psalm 104) Music: Johann Michael Haydn Public Domain CCLI License #

Prayer of Invocation

Be appalled, O heavens, at this; be shocked, be utterly desolate, declares the L ORD, for my people have committed two evils: Jeremiah 2:12-13 Call to Confession of Sin

they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water.

O Lord, we have loved other gods before you and have become their servants. We have not worshiped you in spirit and in truth. We have brought insult upon your reputation. Confession of Sin

We have not trusted you to give us rest. We have not honored others as they deserve. We have hated our neighbors. Our desires are all distorted and misplaced.

We have taken for ourselves what did not belong to us. We have lied, slandered, and gossiped. We have coveted the good blessings you gave to others.

O Lord, have mercy on us, for we have not kept your law. Forgive us for the sake of your Son, our Savior, in whose name we pray. Amen.

(Silent confession)

“Return, O faithless sons; I will heal your faithlessness.” Jeremiah 3:22a Assurance of Forgiveness

… The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God! Deuteronomy 6:1-9 Old Testament Reading

The Lord be with you. And also with you. Let us pray… Prayers of the People

Te Deum Laudamus, ca. 4 th c. You are God. We praise you! You are the Lord. We acclaim you! You are the eternal Father. All creation worships you!

To you all angels, all the powers of heaven, cherubim and seraphim, sing in endless praise: Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of Power and Might, heaven and earth are filled with your glory!

The glorious company of apostles praise you, the noble fellowship of prophets praise you, the white-robed army of martyrs praise you. Throughout the world the holy Church acclaims you.

Father, of majesty unbounded, your true and only Son, worthy of all worship, and the Holy Spirit, advocate and guide. You, Christ, are the king of glory, the eternal Son of the Father.

When you became man to set us free, you did not shun the Virgin’s womb. You overcame the sting of death and opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers.

You are seated at God’s right hand in glory. We believe that you will come and be our judge.

Come then, Lord, and help your people, bought with the price of your own blood, and bring us with your saints to glory everlasting. Amen.

Not what my hands have done can save my guilty soul; not what my toiling flesh has borne can make my spirit whole. Text: Horatius Bonar Music: Matthew H. Curl Not What My Hands Have Done

Not what I feel or do can give me peace with God; not all my prayers and sighs and tears can bear that awful load.

Not what my hands have done, but only through the Son!

Thy work alone, O Christ, can ease this weight of sin; thy blood alone, O Lamb of God, can give me peace within.

Thy love to me, O God— not mine, O Lord, to thee— can rid me of this dark unrest and set my spirit free.

Not what my hands have done, but only through the Son!

I praise the God of grace; I trust his truth and might; he calls me his, I call him mine, my God, my joy, my light.

’Tis he who saveth me, and freely pardon gives; I love because he loveth me, I live because he lives.

Down on my knees, praying please, have mercy now. Christ is my shelter in a world that tries to drag me down. Text & Music: Josh Garrels The Children’s Song

Open your heart, open your mind, open up your soul. Jesus come in, and make a broken man whole.

You carry the cross, carry the pain, carry the love. We don’t belong here, but to the Father above.

Jesus in heaven and Jesus in hell below, paid for our sins, broken body with the red blood flows.

Rise up in glory, raise your hands to the risen King. He’s God Almighty, listen to his children:

Alleluia to our King! Alleluia, Ruler over everything!

In this world you will have trouble. But Jesus overcame the world. Our body is his temple, and we worship forevermore.

… The Gospel of Jesus Christ. Praise be to you, O Christ! Luke 10:25-37 Gospel Reading

What do you believe? I believe that Jesus Christ, being God, made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born a man… Philippians 2:6-11 Confession of Faith

And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross…

Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name…

so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Amen.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. (Greet one another with the words, “The peace of Christ be with you.”) Colossians 3:15 Passing of the Peace

Institution of the Lord’s Table

Let us proclaim the mystery of faith. Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again! Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep the feast. The gifts of God for the people of God. (The Mystery of Faith) Mysterium Fidei

Adam’s shadow, it was casted. How it covered all the land. Text & Music: Wesley Randolph Eader The Valley May Be Dark

Out from Eden it descended, now to land on our guilty hands.

The Laws of Moses, they were roaring in the face of sinful man.

The sacrifices they would offer could never meet its great demands.

And that valley may be dark (may be dark) over all the earth extended,

but the love (but the love) of God is brighter (of God is brighter) and its path cannot be bended.

Yes it hits (yes it hits) the sinner’s heart (the sinner’s heart), turns their sorrow into laughter.

And with joy (and with joy) they will dance (they will dance) up the mount of the redeemed.

Prophets came and prophets went, and their message was the same.

A Messiah would soon be coming for the wandering souls to save.

And that valley may be dark (may be dark) over all the earth extended,

but the love (but the love) of God is brighter (of God is brighter) and its path cannot be bended.

Yes it hits (yes it hits) the sinner’s heart (the sinner’s heart), turns their sorrow into laughter.

And with joy (and with joy) they will dance (they will dance) up the mount of the redeemed.

One last prophet came from the deserts to announce the Lamb of God.

John would baptize with streams of Jordan, Christ would baptize with streams of life.

And that valley may be dark (may be dark) over all the earth extended,

but the love (but the love) of God is brighter (of God is brighter) and its path cannot be bended.

Yes it hits (yes it hits) the sinner’s heart (the sinner’s heart), turns their sorrow into laughter.

And with joy (and with joy) they will dance (they will dance) up the mount of the redeemed. “The Valley May Be Dark” Text & Music: Wesley Randolph Eader © 2014 Door of Hope CCLI License #

Some bright morning when this life is o’er, I’ll fly away! To a home on God’s celestial shore, I’ll fly away! Text & Music: Albert E. Brumley (1929) I’ll Fly Away

I’ll fly away, O glory, I’ll fly away! When I die, hallelujah, by and by, I’ll fly away!

When the shadows of this life have gone, I’ll fly away! Like a bird from these prison walls I’ll fly, I’ll fly away!

I’ll fly away, O glory, I’ll fly away! When I die, hallelujah, by and by, I’ll fly away!

Just a few more weary days and then, I’ll fly away! To a land where joys will never end, I’ll fly away!
