Call to Worship The wondrous Voice, unlike the one that
crows,
the Voice that brings to the worldthe assurance of God’s
presence,
God’s listening,God caring…
The Voice that has no need to shoutonly to be heard…
let us listen and pray and pause and sing to that Voice
And let that Voicebe Ours.

Love Divine, All Loves ExcellingHymn NCH #43
Love divine, all loves excelling,joy of heaven, on earth be
found,Fix in us a humble dwelling;all your faithful mercies
crown;Jesus, you are all compassion;pure, unbounded love
impart;Visit us with your salvation;enter every trembling
heart.
-
Breathe, O breathe your loving Spirit,
into every troubled breast;Let us all in you inherit;let us find
your promised rest.Take away our love of sinning;Alpha and Omega
be;End of faith, as its beginning;set our hearts at liberty.
-
Come, almighty to deliver,Let us all your life receive;Suddenly
return, and never,nevermore your temples leave.You we would be
always blessing,love you as your angels love,Pray and praise
for your unfailing,wounded arms
outstretched above.
-
Finish, then, your new creation;
pure and spotless may we prove;
Let us see your great salvationperfectly restored in you;Changed
from glory into glory,till in heaven we take our place,Crowned as
saints,
we ever shall belost in wonder, love and praise.
-
Our hearts speak.Do we listen?
“Speak, Heart!”“We do listen.”
“Friend,” we say, “hear my heartand I will hear yours.”
“Yes,” says friend,“then we will hear what our
hearts have to say…“together.”

“Nothing’s lost forever. In this world, there’s a kind of
painful progress.
Longing for what we’ve left behind and dreaming ahead.
At least I think that’s so.”

O for a thousand tongues to singmy great Redeemer’s praise,The
glories ever echoingthe triumphs of God’s grace!
My gracious Savior and my God, assist me to proclaim,To spread
through
all the earth abroad the honors of your name.

that bids our sorrows ceaseIs music in the sinner’s ears, is
life, and health, and peace!
