2 A B O U T T H E P R O G R A M Love So amazing, So Divine: 17th Annual Reformation Hymn Festival, October 30, 2016 By Colin Howland, Director of Music and Organist The true treasure of the church is the most holy gospel of the glory and grace of God. So wrote Martin Luther 499 years ago as the 62nd of his 95 theses. Over against the papal teaching that the Church had been entrusted with a treasury of the merits of Christ which, could be dispensed to individuals via the sacraments and papal indulgence, Luther sought to promote the riches of the good news of the glory and love of God. The salvation revealed through the Scriptures alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, to the glory of God alone is rooted in the love of God alone: Sola Gratia. The goal of this year s Reformation Hymn Festival service is to praise God for His great love to us in Christ Jesus. To that end, we are delighted to welcome this year to our pulpit Dr. Jeffrey Jue, who will be preaching from Ephesians 2:1 10, By Grace Alon. Dr. Jue is Provost and Executive Vice President at Westminster Theological Seminary, where he is also an associate professor of church history. The Reformers looked to the Bible and the teaching of the early church fathers to ground their theology, but they also looked there to reform the worship service. This led to a much greater participation by the congregation, especially when it came to singing. They were eager for the whole congregation to lift up the Lord s name in song, especially using the words of the Psalms. John Calvin himself spearheaded an effort to put the entire Psalter to music suitable for congregations to sing. The production of the Genevan Psalter led to a proliferation of psalters throughout Europe and the English speaking world. The English hymnist Isaac Watts ( ) represents something of a bridge between the worship of Reformation times and our own day. Watts himself determined to write a new edition of the psalter. He was dissatisfied with the awkward poetry of the earlier English psalters and the manner in which the Psalms were taught in church. This process was called lining out, and involved a song leader singing a line of the song repeated by the congregation. This could take a long time if an entire Psalm was to be sung! In the Watts Psalter every Psalm is set to a familiar meter so that the entire book of Psalms may be sung with as few as four well known hymn melodies! He also took pains to make each line of each stanza a complete thought to aid the memory. Watts went even further. He recognized that in worship, God speaks to us through His Word and that we in turn speak back to Him. He was eager to join these two concepts together in his Psalm settings and hymns. He did this by making the truths of God s Word personal to the Christian believer. Doctrinal statements in Scripture become affirmations of faith in the heart of the believer. To this end he felt it was important for the Christian to see the Christological fulfillment of the Psalms. Where applicable, he makes direct mention of Christ in his Psalm paraphrases. In others he is more subtle, but the Christian has no doubt as to Whom he is referring! A perfect example is his setting of Psalm 98 which we sing every Christmas time: Joy to the World! The Lord is come, let earth receive her King. Let every heart prepare Him room; and heaven and nature sing. Isaac Watts wanted the worship of Christians to be vitally Christ- centered. He wanted to harmonize biblical truth with our own Christian experience. He wanted us to see God at work today, to know the relevance of the Scriptures in our own time. He championed the same thing as Luther did, extolling the holy gospel of the glory and grace of God. Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all. The texts for the congregational hymns and the choir anthems in this evening s service were all written by Isaac Watts.

Colin Howland Hand Chime Choir Sing to the Lord arr. Alice Parker Sing to the Lord, ye heav nly hosts, and thou, O earth, adore; let death and hell throughout their coasts stand trembling at His power. His sounding chariot shakes the sky; He makes the clouds His throne; there all the stores of lightning lie, till vengeance darts them down. His nostrils breathe out fiery streams, and from His awful tongue a sov reign voice divides the flames and thunder roars along. Think, O my soul, the dreadful day, when this incensed God shall rend the sky and burn the sea and fling His wrath abroad. Let all that dwell above the sky, and air, and earth, and seas conspire to lift Thy glories high and speak Thine endless praise. The whole creation join in one to bless the sacred name, of Him that sits upon the throne, and to adore the Lamb! Tenth Church Choir Let Children Hear the Mighty Deeds Let children hear the mighty deeds which God performed of old; Which in our younger years we saw, and which our fathers told. He bids us make his glories known, His works of power and grace; And we ll convey his wonders down through ev ry rising race. Our lips shall tell them to our sons, and they again to theirs; That generations yet unborn may teach them to their heirs. Thus shall they learn in God alone their hope securely stands, That they may never forget his works, but practice his commands. My Shepherd Will Supply My Need My Shepherd will supply my need, Jehovah is His Name; In pastures fresh He makes me feed beside the living stream. He brings my wandering spirit back when I forsake His ways, And leads me, for His mercy s sake, in paths of truth and grace. When I walk through the shades of death, Thy presence is my stay; One word of Thy supporting breath drives all my fears away. Thy hand, in sight of all my foes, doth still my table spread; My cup with blessings overflows, Thy oil anoints my head. The sure provisions of my God attend me all my days; Oh, may Thy house be mine abode and all my work be praise. There would I find a settled rest, while others go and come; No more a stranger or a guest, but like a child at home. Dundee Cantate Choir and Jubilate Choir arr. Howard Helvey Cantate Choir Helen Sneller, piano

4 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, wherever 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; While all that borrows life from Thee is ever in Thy care; And everywhere that man can be, Thou, God art present there. I sing the mighty power of God! arr. James Koerts Jubilate Choir Amy Oeste, piano 6 : 3 0 P M Welcome Call to Worship * Hymn 30: Our God, Our Help in Ages Past St. Anne (Children ages 4 and 5 may leave to attend their program.) * Prayer of Adoration Hymn Anthem: When I Survey the Wondrous Cross When I survey the wondrous cross, on which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast save in the death of Christ my God; All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood. See, from His head, His hands, His feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down; Did e er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown? His dying crimson like a robe, spreads o er His body on the tree; Then am I dead to all the globe, and all the globe is dead to me. Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all. arr. John Rutter Tenth Church Choir Clara Gerdes, organ Responsive Reading Isaiah 53:3 6 (page 613) He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. * Congregation standing

5 But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. Hymn Anthem: Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed Alas! and did my Savior bleed, and did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head for sinners such as I? Was it for crimes that I have done He suffered on the tree? Amazing pity! Grace unknown! And love beyond degree! Well might the sun in darkness hide, and shut His glories in, When Christ, the great Redeemer, died for man the creature s sin. But drops of grief can ne er repay the debt of love I owe: Here, Lord, I give myself away; Tis all that I can do. Alas! and did my Savior bleed, and did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head for sinners such as I? arr. Gilbert Martin Tenth Church Choir Clara Gerdes, organ Confession Blessed Lord Jesus, before Your cross I bow and see the heinousness of my sin. Sin is my malady, my monster, my foe, my viper. It is born in my birth, alive in my life, strong in my character, dominating my faculties, following me as a shadow, intermingling with every thought, my chain that holds me captive in the empire of my soul. Yet Your compassions yearn over me, Your heart hastens to my rescue, Your love endured my curse, Your mercy bore my stripes. Let me walk humbly in the lowest depths of humiliation, bathed in Your blood, tender of conscience, triumphing gloriously as an heir of salvation. The Gospel s Assurance of Pardon John 3:16 17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. * Hymn 195: Joy to the World! The Lord Is Come Antioch * Prayer of Thanksgiving Offertory: Give Us the Wings of Faith Ernest Bullock Give us the wings of faith to rise within the veil, And see the saints above, how great their joys, how bright their glories be. We ask them whence their victory came; They, with one united breath, ascribe the conquest to the Lamb, their triumph to His death. They marked the footsteps that He trod, His zeal inspired their breast; And, following their incarnate God, they reached the promised rest.

7 TENTH PRESS OCTOBER 30, 2016 A Kingdom on the Move by Paul Duggan for the Global Outreach Commission A Kingdom on the Move. It often goes overlooked, but a small detail of the creation story is that Adam is first created by God, and then God places him in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:17). It seems to be the case that before he gave Adam the task of tending the wonderful garden, God took Adam from the soil of his creation and moved him to a new place. This fall Tenth s Global Outreach Festival will consider how Christ s Kingdom moves, and how we engage a world where mass migrations extend and challenge the reach of Christians with the gospel of Jesus. The Gospel Moves from Place to Place. When Jesus called his disciples, he called them to leave their old lives behind and follow him, and they followed him everywhere he went. When he needed to go through Samaria for the purposes of God s Kingdom, his disciples went with him, as bewildering as it was for them. Only once did Jesus tell them to stop following: when he approached his atoning work on the cross. This was his movement toward their salvation, his exodus that he was accomplishing for a people who could not face death and the weight of their own sin. After the resurrection, his disciples asked Jesus if he was going to now deal with Israel. Jesus didn t answer that question, instead saying they would be his witnesses there, but also in the uttermost parts of the earth (Acts 1:6 8). Jesus now rules from heaven, and his kingdom transcends any locality: wherever those who are ruled by him are, his kingdom is manifest. Earthly kingdoms can suffer internal upheavals or invasions from outside, but the heavenly citizenship of God s kingdom and the heavenly rule of Christ are immune to those crises. The Lausanne Movement. Michael Oh, founder of Christ Bible Seminary in Nagoya, Japan, since 2013 has been the Global Executive Director for the Lausanne Movement. Founded by such notables as Billy Graham and John Stott, the Lausanne Movement began with its first congress in 1974, in Lausanne, Switzerland. Lausanne gathered evangelical Christians around the conviction that evangelism was the primary mission of the church s sacrificial service in the world. There were many peoples still unreached, and Christians more than ever before needed to work together to meet the new opportunities of a changing world. Lausanne connected Christians of many backgrounds to bring the message of the gospel and the deeds of gospel-followers to individuals and societies that are in need of both. Lausanne hasn t rested since It has held two more global congresses since then: Manila in 1989 and Cape Town in The Spirit Moves Hearts. The Holy Spirit moves secretly and invisibly: this much Jesus said to Nicodemus in John 3:8. Each week, we come out of our daily lives to worship in Spirit. Tenth is holding a fall missions festival to give room for the Spirit to move us; hearing not only of the Word for us, but the effect the Word produces around the globe. Sunday, November 13, Michael Oh and Phil Kirkland will preach to us, Michael in the morning and Phil in the evening. Phil Kirkland is a former Tenth International Fellowship director. He now ministers with local pastors in Greece as a Tenth global partner bringing the gospel and relief in the middle of the refugee crisis. There will also be opportunities to connect with Tenth partners at local Bible studies, and our fall festival will be an exciting celebration of God s work in East Asia. Moving toward the Uprooted. When God took Adam and placed him newly in the Garden of Eden, of course all was well; there was as yet no sin or curse. When Jesus commissioned his church to go into all the world and make disciples, he had already received all authority in heaven and earth. Our sins and the curse are no great obstacle to the movement of his kingdom from person to person and from place to place. Even the curse of war, in the providence of God, is a route for the purposes of Christ s Kingdom. God places new opportunities for Christians in Philadelphia by moving refugees here to us. It s an opportunity for us to move toward them with the gifts the Spirit has given us. This fall as we worship together in the unity of the Spirit in a place we consider home, we anticipate God s movement of us toward the heavenly dwellings all believers from every tongue and nation will call home together.
