Opening Hymn “How Firm a Foundation”
1 How firm a foundation ye saints of the Lord
Is laid for your faith in His excellent word
What more can He say than to you He hath said
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled
2 Fear not I am with thee O be not dismayed
For I am thy God I will still give thee aid
I’ll strengthen thee help thee
And cause thee to stand
Upheld by My gracious omnipotent hand
3 When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie
My grace all-sufficient shall be thy supply
The flames shall not hurt thee I only design
Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine
4 The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose
I will not I will not desert to its foes
That soul though all hell should endeavor to shake
I’ll never no never no never forsake

Closing Hymn “Ancient Words”
1 Holy words long preserved
For our walk in this world
They resound with God’s own heart
O let the ancient words impart
2 Words of life words of hope
Give us strength help us cope
In this world where’re we roam
Ancient words will guide us home
3 Ancient words ever true
Changing me changing you
We have come with open hearts
O let the ancient words impart
4 Holy words of our faith
Handed down to this age
Came to us through sacrifice
O heed the faithful words of Christ
5 We have come with open hearts
O let the ancient words impart
O let the ancient words impart
Benediction:
