Hymn of Praise to the Triune GodHoly, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty

UMH 64

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the

morning our song shall rise to thee. Holy, holy, holy! Merciful

and mighty, God in three persons, blessed Trinity!

Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee, casting

down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; cherubim and

seraphim falling down before thee, which wert, and art,

and evermore shalt be.

Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide thee, though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see, only thou art holy; there is none beside thee,

perfect in power, in love and purity.

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! All thy works

shall praise thy name, in earth and sky and sea. Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty, God in three

persons, blessed Trinity.

Opening PrayerGracious God,

each new day has so much to hold, so much to offer.

Because it’s in you that we live, move, and have our being,

reveal yourself to us in each beginning,

go with us through change,and find us

as we find our future in you. Amen.

FORMED

Scripture Reading Isaiah 6:1-8 (CEB)

In the year of King Uzziah’s death, I saw the Lord sitting on a high and exalted throne, the edges of his robe filling the temple. Winged creatures

were stationed around him. Each had six wings: with two they veiled their faces, with two their feet, and

with two they flew about. They shouted to each other, saying:

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord

of heavenly forces!All the earth is filled with God’s glory!”

The doorframe shook at the sound

of their shouting, and the house was filled with smoke.

I said, “Mourn for me; I’m ruined! I’m a man with unclean lips, and I live among a people with unclean

lips. Yet I’ve seen the king, the Lord of heavenly forces!”

Then one of the winged creatures flew to me, holding a glowing coal

that he had taken from the altar with tongs.

He touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips. Your guilt has departed, and your

sin is removed.” Then I heard the Lord’s voice

saying, “Whom should I send, and who will go for us?” I said,

“I’m here; send me.”

Colton Ironside, Guest Director

Rise, shine, you people! Christ the Lord has entered our human

story; God in him is centered. He comes to us, by death and sin surrounded, with grace

unbounded.

See how he sends the powers of evil reeling; He brings us freedom,

light and life and healing. All men and women, who by guilt are

driven, now are forgiven.

Celebrate! Celebrate! Celebrate! Celebrate your joy, now

Come, celebrate; your banners high unfurling, Your songs and prayers against the darkness

hurling. To all the world go out and tell the story of Jesus’ glory.

Tell how the Father sent his Son to save us. Tell of the Son, who life and freedom gave us. Tell how the Spirit calls from every nation His

new creation.

Rise and shine!

Prayers of the People

Peace of Christ Doxology

Take My Life, and Let It Be UMH 399 (stanza 1)

Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to thee.

Take my moments and my days; let them flow in ceaseless praise.

Take my hands, and let them move at the impulse of thy love. Take my feet, and let them be swift and beautiful for thee.

The Lord’s PrayerOur Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.Thy kingdom come,

thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.And forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power,

and the glory, forever.Amen.

Sending HymnHere I Am, Lord

UMH 593

I, the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard my people cry. All who

dwell in dark and sin my hand will save. I who made the stars of night, I will make their darkness bright. Who will bear my light to them? Whom shall I send? Here I

am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?

I have heard you calling in the night. I will go, Lord,

if you lead me. I will hold your people in my heart.

I, the Lord of snow and rain, I have borne my people’s pain. I

have wept for love of them. They turn away. I will break their

hearts of stone, give them hearts for love alone. I will speak my

word to them. Whom shall I send? Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord? I have heard you calling in the

night. I will go, Lord, if you lead me. I will hold your people in my heart.

I, the Lord of wind and flame, I will tend the poor and lame, I will set a feast for them. My hand will save. Finest bread I will provide till their hearts be satisfied. I will give my life to them. Whom shall I send? Here I am, Lord. Is it I,

Lord? I have heard you calling in the night. I will go, Lord, if you

lead me. I will hold your people in my heart.
