Preparation for Worship
Time for Gathering
Opening Hymn “O God Our Help in Ages Past”
O God our help in ages past our hope for years to come
Our shelter from the stormy blast and our eternal home
Under the shadow of Thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure
Sufficient is Thine arm alone and our defense is sure
Before the hills in order stood or earth received her frame
From everlasting Thou art God to endless years the same
A thousand ages in Thy sight are like an evening gone
Short as the watch that ends the night before the rising sun
Time like an ever rolling stream bears all its sons away
They fly forgotten as a dream dies at the op'ning day
Our God our help in ages past our hope for years to come
Be Thou our guard while troubles last and our eternal home
Amen!

Closing Hymn “It is Well with My Soul”
When peace like a river attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot Thou hast taught me to say
It is well it is well with my soul
Chorus:
It is well with my soul
It is well It is well with my soul
Tho' Satan should buffet tho' trials should come
Let this blest assurance control
That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate
And hath shed His own blood for my soul [Chorus]
My sin O the bliss of this glorious tho't
My sin not in part but the whole
Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more
Praise the Lord praise the Lord O my soul [Chorus]
And Lord haste the day when my faith shall be sight
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll
The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend
Even so it is well with my soul [Chorus]
