2 THE WELCOME MOMENT OF SILENCE The Worship Service 11:00 a.m. January 29, 2017 Rev. Scott Wilks PRELUDE Whiter Than Snow arr. Phillips INTROIT Sing, Make a Joyful Sound Liles Chancel Choir *HYMN There s Within My Heart a Melody UMH 380 There's within my heart a melody Jesus whispers sweet and low: Fear not, I am with thee, peace, be still, in all of life's ebb and flow. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, sweetest name I know, fills my every longing, keeps me singing as I go. All my life was wrecked by sin and strife, discord filled my heart with pain; Jesus swept across the broken strings, stirred the slumbering chords again. Feasting on the riches of his grace, resting neath his sheltering wing, always looking on his smiling face, that is why I shout and sing. Soon he's coming back to welcome me far beyond the starry sky; I shall wing my flight to worlds unknown; I shall reign with him on high. SPECIAL MUSIC Who At My Door Is Standing Sweet Hour of Prayer A Beautiful Life Art Lang, harmonica and autoharp SCRIPTURE Psalm 96:1-3, 10-13

3 HYMN Jesus Saves! We have heard the joyful sound: Jesus saves! Jesus saves! Spread the tidings all around: Jesus saves! Jesus saves! Bear the news to every land, climb the mountains, cross the waves; Onward! tis our Lord s command; Jesus saves! Jesus saves! Waft it on the rolling tide: Jesus saves! Jesus saves! Tell to sinners far and wide: Jesus saves! Jesus saves! Sing, you islands of the sea; echo back, you ocean caves; Earth shall keep her jubilee: Jesus saves! Jesus saves! Sing above the battle strife: Jesus saves! Jesus saves! By His death and endless life Jesus saves! Jesus saves! Shout it brightly through the gloom, when the heart for mercy craves; Sing in triumph o er the tomb: Jesus saves! Jesus saves! Give the winds a mighty voice: Jesus saves! Jesus saves! Let the nations now rejoice: Jesus saves! Jesus saves! Shout salvation full and free; highest hills and deepest caves; This our song of victory: Jesus saves! Jesus saves! ANTHEM Jesus Is Coming Again Winsett Chancel Choir *LITANY Liturgist: Congregation: Liturgist: Congregation: Liturgist: Together: Sing a new song to the Lord, He to whom wonders belong! Rejoice in his triumph and tell of his power O sing to the Lord a new song! Sing a new song and rejoice, publish his praises abroad! Let voices in chorus with trumpet and horn, resound for the joy of the Lord! Join with the hills and the sea, thunders of praise to prolong! In judgment and justice he comes to the earth Rejoice in his triumph and tell of his power O sing to the Lord a new song! ~ Timothy Dudley-Smith *HYMN Leaning on the Everlasting Arms UMH 133 What a fellowship, what a joy divine, leaning on the everlasting arms; what a blessedness, what a peace is mine, leaning on the everlasting arms.

4 Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms; leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms. O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way, leaning on the everlasting arms; O how bright the path grows from day to day, leaning on the everlasting arms. What have I to dread, what have I to fear, leaning on the everlasting arms? I have blessed peace with my Lord so near, leaning on the everlasting arms. OFFERTORY Pass Me Not Oh Gentle Savior The Old Rugged Cross Art Lang, Harmonica HYMN Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross UMH 301 Jesus, keep me near the cross, there a precious fountain, free to all, a healing stream, flows from Calvary's mountain. : In the cross, in the cross, be my glory ever; 'til my raptured soul shall find, rest beyond the river. Near the cross, a trembling soul, love and mercy found me; there the bright and morning star sheds its beams around me. Near the cross! O Lamb of God, bring its scenes before me; help me walk from day to day, with its shadows over me. Near the cross I'll watch and wait, hoping, trusting ever, 'til I reach the golden strand, just beyond the river. SPECIAL MUSIC In the Garden Amazing Grace Art Lang, autoharp and harmonica

5 *HYMN Great is Thy Faithfulness UMH 140 Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father, There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be. Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed Thy hand hath provided Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me! Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, Sun, moon and stars in their courses above, Join with all nature in manifold witness To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide; Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
