THEME OF THE SERVICE
We live for God above all, entrusting ourselves to him and his design, so we don’t seek vengeance but hope in God’s promised future and rely on and work for his justice now through his designed methods by honoring earthly governance.
OPENING SCRIPTURE
1 Peter 2:13-25
HYMN 1: CROWN HIM WITH MANY CROWNS
Verse 1
Crown him with many crowns
The Lamb upon his throne
Hark, how the heav'nly anthem drowns
All music but its own
Awake, my soul, and sing of him who died for thee
And hail him as thy matchless King
Through all eternity
Verse 2
Crown him the Son of God
Before the worlds began
And ye who tread where he hath trod
Crown him the Son of Man
Who ev'ry grief hath known
That wrings the human breast
And takes and bears them for his own
That all in him may rest
Verse 3
Crown him the Lord of life
Who triumphed o'er the grave
And rose victorious in the strife
For those he came to save
His glories now we sing
Who died and rose on high
Who died eternal life to bring
And lives that death may die
Verse 4
Crown him the Lord of heav'n
Enthroned in worlds above
Crown him, the King to whom is giv'n
The wondrous name of Love
Crown him with many crowns
As thrones before him fall
Crown him, ye kings, with many crowns
For he is King of all
HYMN 2: CHRIST IS MINE FOREVERMORE
Verse 1
Mine are days that God has numbered
I was made to walk with him
Yet I look for worldly treasure
And forsake the King of king
But mine is hope in my Redeemer
Though I fall, his love is sure
For Christ has paid for ev'ry failing
I am his forevermore.
Verse 2
Mine are tears in times of sorrow
Darkness not yet understood
Through the valley I must travel
Where I see no earthly good
But mine is peace that flows from heaven
And the strength in times of need
I know my pain will not be wasted
Christ completes his work in me
Verse 3
Mine are days here as a stranger
Pilgrim on a narrow way
One with Christ I will encounter
Harm and hatred for his name
But mine is armor for this battle
Strong enough to last the war
And he has said he will deliver
Safely to the golden shore
Tag
And mine are keys to Zion's city
Where beside the King I walk
For there my heart has found its treasure
Christ is mine forevermore
Bridge x2
Come rejoice now, O my soul
For his love is my reward
Fear is gone and hope is sure
Christ is mine forevermore.

HYMN 3: ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS’ NAME
Verse 1
All hail the pow'r of Jesus' name
Let angels prostrate fall
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown him Lord of all
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown him Lord of all
Verse 2
Ye chosen seed of Israel's race
Ye ransomed from the fall
Hail him who saves you by his grace
And crown him Lord of all
Hail him who saves you by his grace
And crown him Lord of all
Verse 3
Let ev'ry kindred, ev'ry tribe
On this terrestrial ball
To him all majesty ascribe
And crown him Lord of all

And crown him Lord of all
Verse 4

We at his feet may fall
We'll join the everlasting song
And crown him Lord of all
We'll join the everlasting song

HYMN 4: REDEEMED HOW I LOVE TO PROCLAIM IT
Verse 1
Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb
Redeemed through his infinite mercy
His child, and forever, I am
Chorus
Redeemed, redeemed
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb
Redeemed, redeemed, his child, and forever, I am
Verse 2
Redeemed, and so happy in Jesus
No language my rapture can tell
I know that the light of his presence
With me doth continually dwell.
Verse 3
I think of my blessed Redeemer
I think of him all the day long
I sing, for I cannot be silent
His love is the theme of my song
Verse 4
I know I shall see in his beauty
The King in whose law I delight
Who lovingly guardeth my footsteps
And giveth me songs in the night
RESPONSIVE READING: FROM THE BAPTIST CATECHISM
Leader: What doth the preface of the Lord’s prayer teach us?
Congregation: The preface of the Lord's prayer, which is Our Father which art in heaven, teaches us to draw near to God with all holy reverence and confidence, as children to a father, able and ready to help us; and that we should pray with and for others.
Leader: What do we pray for in the first petition?
Congregation: In the first petition, which is, Hallowed be thy name, we pray that God would enable us and others to glorify him in all that whereby he makes himself known, and that he would dispose all things to his own glory.
Leader: What do we pray for in the second petition?
Congregation: In the second petition, which is, Thy kingdom come, we pray that Satan’s kingdom may be destroyed, and that the kingdom of grace may be advanced ourselves and others brought into it and kept in it, and that the kingdom of glory may be hastened.
Leader: What do we pray for in the third petition?
Congregation: In the third petition, which is, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven we pray that God by his grace would make us able and willing to know, obey, and submit to his will in all things, as the angels do in heaven.
HYMN 5: BE STILL MY SOUL
Verse 1
Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain
Leave to your God
To order and provide
In ev'ry change he faithful will remain
Be still, my soul
Your best, your heav'nly Friend
Through thorny ways
Leads to a joyful end
Verse 2
Be still, my soul: your God will undertake
To guide the future as he has the past
Your hope, your confidence, let nothing shake
All now mysterious shall be bright at last
Be still, my soul
The waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while he dwelt below
Verse 3
Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart
And all is darkened in the vale of tears
Then shall you better know his love
His heart, who comes to soothe your sorrow and your fears
Be still, my soul
Your Jesus can repay
From his own fullness all he takes away
Verse 4
Be still, my soul: the hour is hast'ning on
When we shall be forever with the Lord
When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone
Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last

HYMN 6: IS HE WORTHY?
Verse 1
Do you feel the world is broken? We do
Do you feel the shadows deepen? We do
But do you know that all the dark won't stop
The light from getting through? We do
Do you wish that you could see it all made new? We do
Verse 2
Is all creation groaning? It is
Is a new creation coming? It is
Is the glory of the Lord to be the light within our midst? It is
Is it good that we remind ourselves of this? It is

Is anyone whole
Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll

He is David's Root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave

Is he worthy
Is he worthy of all blessing and honor and glory
Is he worthy of this? He is

Does our God intend to dwell again with us? He does

Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll
The Lion of Judah, who conquered the grave
He is David's Root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave
Bridge
From ev'ry people and tribe
Ev'ry nation and tongue
He has made us a kingdom of priests to God to reign with the Son

Is he worthy of this? He is!
Is he worthy? Is he worthy? He is! He is!
