O Worship the King Hymn 1

1st Stanza O worship the King, all glorious above, And gratefully sing His pow’r and His love;

1st Stanza continued Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days, Pavilioned in splendour and girded with praise.

2nd Stanza O tell of His might, O sing of His grace, Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space;

2nd Stanza continued His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.

3rd Stanza Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;

3rd Stanza continued It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.

Last Stanza Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;

Last Stanza continued Thy mercies how tender! how firm to the end! Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer and Friend.

Invocation & Gloria Patri Hymnal (inside front cover)

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;

as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen.

Scripture Reading in Unison 1 Corinthians 15:51-58

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

54a So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality,

54b then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
