*Ascription of Praise*Ascription of Praise*Ascription of Praise*Ascription of Praise “O Worship the King”—Hymn No. 104
O worship the King, all glorious above, and gratefully sing His wonderful love;
our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.
O tell of His might, and 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.
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 @nd Thee to fail.
Thy mercies how tender, how @rm to the end!
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend!

Lord of all creation, of water, earth and sky,
the heavens are Your tabernacle; glory to the Lord on high.
God of wonders beyond our galaxy, You are holy, holy.
The universe declares Your majesty. You are holy, holy;
Lord of heaven and earth, Lord of heaven and earth.
Early in the morning I will celebrate the light.
When I stumble in the darkness, I will call Your name by night.

God of grace and God of glory, on Thy people pour Thy pow’r.
Crown Thine ancient Church’s story; bring her bud to glorious Now’r.
Grant us wisdom; grant us courage for the facing of this hour,
for the facing of this hour.
Lo! the hosts of evil round us scorn Thy Christ, assail His ways!
From the fears that long have bound us, free our hearts to faith and praise.
Grant us wisdom; grant us courage for the living of these days,
for the living of these days.
Cure Thy children’s warring madness; bend our pride to Thy control.
Shame our wanton, sel@sh gladness, rich in things and poor in soul.
Grant us wisdom; grant us courage lest we miss Thy kingdom’s goal,

*Hymn of Worship*Hymn of Worship*Hymn of Worship*Hymn of Worship “Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing”—Hymn No. 11
Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by Naming tongues above.
Praise His name-I’m @xed upon it-Name of God’s redeeming love.
Hitherto Thy love has blest me; Thou hast brought me to this place;
and I know Thy hand will bring me safely home by Thy good grace.
Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger; bought me with His precious blood.
O to grace how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for Thy courts above.
O that day when freed from sinning, I shall see Thy lovely face;
clothed then in blood washed linen, how I’ll sing Thy sovereign grace;
come, my Lord, no longer tarry, take my ransomed soul away;
send Thine angels now to carry me to realms of endless day.

“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this,” says the Lord of hosts, “if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overNows.” Malachi 3:10Malachi 3:10Malachi 3:10Malachi 3:10 Congregational WorshipCongregational WorshipCongregational WorshipCongregational Worship “Christ, the Sure and Steady Anchor”
Christ, the sure and steady anchor in the fury of the storm;
when the winds of doubt blow through me and my sails have all been torn.
In the su8ering, in the sorrow, when my sinking hopes are few,
I will hold fast to the anchor; it shall never be removed.
Christ, the sure and steady anchor while the tempest rages on;
when temptation claims the battle and it seems the night has won.
Deeper still then goes the anchor, though I justly stand accused;
I will hold fast to the anchor; it shall never be removed.
Christ, the sure and steady anchor through the Noods of unbelief;
hopeless, somehow, O my soul now lift your eyes to Calvary.
This my ballast of assurance, see His love forever proved;
I will hold fast to the anchor; it shall never be removed.
Christ, the sure and steady anchor, as we face the wave of death;
when these trials give way to glory and we draw our @nal breath.
We will cross that great horizon, clouds behind and life secured;
and the calm will be the better for the storms that we endured.
Christ, the shore of our salvation, ever faithful, ever true;
we will hold fast to the anchor; it shall never be removed.
