I once was lost but now am found, was blind, but now I see. Twas grace that made my heart secure, and grace my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed. (Refrain) My chains are gone, I ve been set free. My God, my Savior has ransomed me; And like a flood, His mercy reigns, unending love, amazing grace. The Lord has promised good to me; His Word my hope secures. He will my shield and portion be, as long as life endures. (refrain) The earth will soon dissolve like snow, the sun forbear to shine; But God, who called me here below, will be forever mine, will be forever mine. You are forever mine. You are forever mine. (refrain 2x) INVOCATION P In the name of the Father and of the T Son and of the Holy Spirit. EXHORTATION P Beloved in the Lord! Let us draw near with a true heart and confess our sins unto God our Father, beseeching Him in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to grant us forgiveness. P Our help is in the name of the Lord, C who made heaven and earth. P I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord, C and You forgave the iniquity of my sin. 1

2 CONFESSION and ABSOLUTION P O almighty God, merciful Father, C I, a poor, miserable sinner, confess unto You all my sins and iniquities with which I have ever offended You and justly deserved Your temporal and eternal punishment. But I am heartily sorry for them and sincerely repent of them, and I pray You of Your boundless mercy and for the sake of the holy, innocent, bitter sufferings and death of Your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, to be gracious and merciful to me, a poor, sinful being. P Upon this your confession, I, by virtue of my office, as a called and ordained servant of the Word, announce the grace of God unto all of you, and in the stead and by the command of my Lord Jesus Christ I forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the T Son and of the Holy Spirit. T WORD T INTROIT P These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. C They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. P In you, O LORD, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me. C For you are my rock and my fortress; and for your name s sake you lead me and guide me. P Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O LORD, faithful God. C Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. P These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. C They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. KYRIE Psalm 31:1,3,5 (antiphon: Rev 7:14b) 2

IN REGARD TO HOLY COMMUNION: According to Scripture, Holy Communion should be celebrated by those who are: United in a common faith (1 Cor. 10:16-17, 21-22; Rom. 16:17); Repentant of sins (1 Cor. 5:11, Matt. 18:17-18); Able to examine their lives (1 Cor. 11:27-29); and believe that in this precious meal they receive the true body and blood of Jesus given and shed for the forgiveness of their sins (Luke 22:19-22). Since Scripture teaches that those people who do not fully understand the meaning of this meal eat and drink to their own harm (1Cor. 11:27-29), and because the Lord s Supper is the supreme act of stating our unity in faith and doctrine, we would ask those people who are visiting with us to please speak with one of our pastors, before communing, in order that we might fulfill our responsibility of properly instructing people in the right use of the precious Sacrament.

CLOSING HYMN Hallelujah for the Cross (Ross King and Todd Wright) Up to the hill of Calvary, my Savior went courageously. And there He bled and died for me. Hallelujah for the cross! And on that day the world was changed; a final, perfect Lamb was slain. Let earth and heaven now proclaim: Hallelujah for the cross! (Chorus) Hallelujah for the war He fought! Love has won, death has lost. Hallelujah for the souls He bought! Hallelujah for the cross! What good I ve done could never save; my debt too great for deeds to pay. But God, my Savior, made a way. Hallelujah for the cross! A slave to sin, my life was bound, but all my chains fell to the ground, 10

11 When Jesus blood came flowing down. Hallelujah for the cross! (chorus) And when I breathe my final breath, I ll have no need to fear that rest. This hope will guide me into death: Hallelujah for the cross! (chorus 2x) Hallelujah for the cross! Hallelujah for the cross! Divine Service, Setting Three from Lutheran Service Book.
