“Through the grace of God, we are worshiping, sharing, growing.”
#361 The Day of Resurrection!
1. The day of resurrection! Earth, tell it out abroad, The passover of gladness, the passover of God. From death to life eternal, from sin’s dominion free, Our Christ has brought us over with hymns of victory. 2. The hearts he purged of evil that we may see aright, The Lord in rays eternal of resurrection light,
And list’ning to his accents, may her, so calm and plain, His own “All hail!” and hearing, may raise the glad refrain. 3. Now let the heav’ns be joyful, let earth its song begin, The round world keep high triumph and all that is therein. Let all things, seen and unseen, their notes of gladness blend; For Christ the Lord has risen, our joy that has no end!
4. All praise to God the Father, all praise to Christ the Son, All praise to God the Spirit, eternal Three in One!
Let all the ransomed number fall down before the throne, And honor, pow’r and glory ascribe to God alone!
#508 As Rain from the Clouds
1. As rain from the clouds will your word come to earth, As snow from the heavens refreshing the land.
Then soften our soil that the good seed may grow And ripen rich fruit to return to your hand.
We praise you, our God, for the dew of your word; We thank you, good gard’ner, for your tender toil. We bless you, best farmer, for hundredfold yield, For harvest of grace in our once barren soil.
2. As grain that is scattered your word has been sown On rocks and on roadways, in good earth and sand. Make fertile our soil that the good seed may grow And ripen rich fruit to return to your hand.
We praise you, our God, for the seed of your word; We thank you, good gard’ner, for your tender toil. We bless you, best farmer, for hundredfold yield, For harvest of grace in our once barren soil.
3. As rays of the sun shall your word light the world, Awaking and warming and healing our land.
Then shine in our hearts that the good seed may grow And ripen rich fruit to return to your hand.
We praise you, our God, for the light of your word; We thank you, good gard’ner, for your tender toil We bless you, best farmer, for hundredfold yield, In harvest of grace in our once barren soil.
#742 What a Friend We Have in Jesus
1. What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry ev’rything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit, oh, what needless pain we bear All because we do not carry ev’rything to God in prayer!
2. Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged – take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our ev’ry weakness – take it to the Lord in prayer. 3. Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do your friends despise, forsake you? Take it to the Lord in prayer. In his arms he’ll take and shield you, you will find a solace there.
#744 Lord, Be Glorified
1. In my life, Lord, be glorified, be glorified; In my life, Lord, be glorified today
2. In our song, Lord, be glorified, be glorified; In our song, Lord, be glorified today.
3. In your church, Lord, be glorified, be glorified; In your church, Lord, be glorified today.
4. In your world, Lord, be glorified, be glorified; In your world, Lord, be glorified today.
#389 Christ Is Alive! Let Christians Sing
1. Christ is alive! Let Christians sing, The cross stands empty to the sky. Let streets and homes with praises ring. Love drowned in death, shall never die. 2. Christ is alive! No longer bound to distant years in Palestine, But saving, healing, here and now, And touching ev’ry place and time. 3. In ev’ry insult, rift, and war, Where color, scorn or wealth divide, Christ suffers still, yet loves the more, And lives, where even hope has died. 4. Women and men, in age and youth, Can feel the Spirit, hear the call, And find the way, the life, the truth, Revealed in Jesus, freed for all. 5. Christ is alive, and comes to bring Good news to this and ev’ry age, till earth and sky and ocean ring With joy, with justice, love and praise.
Acts 10:44-48
44 While Peter was still speaking, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard the word. 45The
circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles, 46for they heard them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter said, 47‘Can anyone withhold the water for baptizing these people who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?’ 48So he ordered them to be
baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they invited him to stay for several days.
1 John 5:1-6
5 1Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ* has been born of God, and everyone who
loves the parent loves the child. 2By this we know that we love the children of God, when we
love God and obey his commandments. 3For the love of God is this, that we obey his
commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome, 4for whatever is born of God
conquers the world. And this is the victory that conquers the world, our faith. 5Who is it that conquers the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 This is the one who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not with the water only but with the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one that testifies, for the Spirit is the truth.
Psalm 98
1 O sing to the LORD a new song,
for he has done marvellous things. His right hand and his holy arm have gained him victory.
2 The LORD has made known his victory;
he has revealed his vindication in the sight of the nations.
3 He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness
to the house of Israel.
All the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God.
4 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth;
break forth into joyous song and sing praises.
5 Sing praises to the LORD with the lyre,
with the lyre and the sound of melody.
6 With trumpets and the sound of the horn
make a joyful noise before the King, the LORD.
7 Let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
the world and those who live in it.
8 Let the floods clap their hands;
let the hills sing together for joy
9 at the presence of the LORD, for he is coming
to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.
John 15:9-17
9As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love. 10If you keep my
commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. 11I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.
12 ‘This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13No one has
greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14You are my friends if you do
what I command you. 15I do not call you servants* any longer, because the servant* does not
know what the master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father. 16You did not choose me but I chose you.
And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my name. 17I am giving you these commands so that you may love one another.
