Preparation for Worship
Time for Gathering
Opening Hymn
“I Sing the Mighty Power of God”
I sing the mighty power of God that made the mountains rise
That spread the flowing seas abroad and built the lofty skies
I sing the wisdom that ordained the sun to rule the day
The moon shines full at His command and all the stars obey
I sing the goodness of the Lord that filled the earth with food
He formed the creatures with His word and then pronounced them good
Lord how Thy wonders are displayed where'er I turn my eye
If I survey the ground I tread or gaze upon the sky
There's not a plant or flower below but makes Thy glories known
And clouds arise And tempests blow by order from Thy throne
Creatures that borrow life from Thee are subject to Thy care
There's not a place where we can flee but God is present there

“A Mighty Fortress is Our God”
mighty fortress is our God a bulwark never failing
Our helper He amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing
For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe
His craft and pow'r are great and armed with cruel hate
On earth is not his equal
Did we in our own strength confide our striving would be losing
Were not the right Man on our side the Man of God's own choosing
Dost ask who that may be Christ Jesus it is He
Lord Sabaoth His name from age to age the same
And He must win the battle
And tho' this world with devils filled should threaten to undo us
We will not fear for God hath willed his truth to triumph thru us
The prince of darkness grim we tremble not for him
His rage we can endure for lo his doom is sure
One little word shall fell him
That word above all earthly pow'rs no thanks to them abideth
The Spirit and the gifts are ours thru Him who with us sideth
Let goods and kindred go this mortal life also
The body they may kill God's truth abideth still
His kingdom is forever
