Time for Gathering
Opening Hymn
“And Can It Be”
And can it be that I should gain an interest in the Savior's blood
Died He for me who caused His pain for me who Him to death pursued
Amazing love how can it be that Thou my God shouldst die for me
Amazing love how can it be that Thou my God shouldst die for me
He left His Father's throne above so free so infinite His grace
Emptied Himself of all but love and bled for Adam's helpless race
'Tis mercy all immense and free for O my God it found out me
'Tis mercy all immense and free for O my God it found out me
Long my imprisoned spirit lay fast bound in sin and nature's night
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray I woke the dungeon flamed with light
My chains fell off my heart was free I rose went forth and followed Thee
My chains fell off my heart was free I rose went forth and followed Thee
No condemnation now I dread Jesus and all in Him is mine
Alive in Him my living Head and clothed in righteousness divine
Bold I approach th'eternal throne and claim the crown through Christ my own
Bold I approach th'eternal throne and claim the crown through Christ my own

Sermon A Found CauseClosing Hymn
“Amazing Grace”
Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found was blind but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear and grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed
Through many dangers toils and snares I have already come
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far and grace will lead me home
When we've been there ten thousand years bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise than when we've first begun
