Call to Worship

In Christ alone

1. In Christ alone my hope is found,He is my strength, my light, my song;this cornerstone, this solid ground,firm through the fiercest drought and storm.What heights of love, what depths of peace when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!My comforter, my all-in-all,here in the love of Christ I stand.

2. In Christ alone – who took on flesh,fullness of God in helpless babe!This gift of love and righteousness,scorned by the ones He came to save.Till on that cross, as Jesus died,the wrath of God was satisfied,for every sin on Him was laid –here in the death of Christ I live.

3. There in the ground His body lay,Light of the world by darkness slain;then bursting forth in glorious dayup from the grave He rose again!And as He stands in victorysin’s curse has lost its grip on me,for I am His and He is mine-bought with the precious blood of Christ.

4. No guilt in life, no fear in death,This is the power of Christ in me;From life’s first cry to final breath,Jesus commands my destiny.No power of hell, no scheme of man,Can ever pluck me from His hand;Till He returns or calls me home,Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand!

In heavenly love abiding

1. In heavenly love abiding,

no change my heart shall fear;

and safe is such confiding,

for nothing changes here:

the storm may roar around me,

my heart may low be laid;

my Father’s arms surround me,

how can I be afraid?

2. Wherever He may guide me,

no want shall turn me back;

my Shepherd is beside me,

and nothing can I lack:

His wisdom is for ever,

His sight is never dim;

His love deserts me never,

and I will walk with Him.

3. Green pastures are before me,

which yet I have not seen;

bright skies will shine with glory,where threatening clouds have been:

My hope I cannot measure,

the path to life is free;

my Saviour has my treasure,and He will walk with me.

The Lord’s my Shepherd

1 The Lord's my shepherd,

I'll not want.

He makes me lie in pastures

green.

He leads me by the still, still

waters,

His goodness restores my soul.

And I will trust in You alone.And I will trust in You alone,For Your endless mercy follows me,Your goodness will lead me home.

2 He guides my ways in

righteousness,

And He anoints my head with oil,

And my cup, it overflows with

joy,

I feast on His pure delights.

And I will trust in You alone.And I will trust in You alone,For Your endless mercy follows me,Your goodness will lead me home.

3 And though I walk the darkest

path,

I will not fear the evil one,

For You are with me, and Your

rod and staff

Are the comfort I need to know.

And I will trust in You alone.And I will trust in You alone,For Your endless mercy follows me,Your goodness will lead me home.

Benediction
