1 University Presbyterian Church Order of Worship April 14, :30am Palm Sunday < > Instrumental Prelude: Processional G. F. Handel Hannah Byun, Principal Organist Opening Hymn #205: Ride On, Ride On in Majesty Hear all the tribes hosanna cry; O Savior meek, pursue your road With palms and scattered garments strowed. In lowly pomp ride on to die. O Christ, your triumphs now begin O er captive death and conquered sin. The host of angels in the sky Look down with sad and wondering eyes To see th approaching sacrifice. Your last and fiercest strife is night. The Father on his sapphire throne Awaits his own anointed Son. In lowly pomp ride on to die, Bow your meek head to mortal pain, Then take, O Christ, your power and reign. Welcome & Greeting Time Hymn #809: Doxology Praise God from whom all blessings flow, Praise him, all creatures here below; Praise him above, ye heavenly host, Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen. Prayer of Confession & Assurance of Pardon

2 Hymn of Assurance #745: Jesus Shall Reign Jesus shall reign, wher-e er the sun does its successive journeys run; His kingdom spread from shore to shore, till moons shall wax and wane no more. To him shall endless prayer be made, and endless praises crown his head; His name like sweet perfume shall rise with every morning sacrifice. People and realms of every tongue dwell on his love with sweetest song, And infant voices shall proclaim their early blessings on his name. Blessings abound wher-e er he reigns; the prisoners leap to lose their chains, The weary find eternal rest, and all who suffer want are blessed. Let all the people rise and bring their special honors to our King; Angels descend with songs again and earth repeat the loud Amen.

Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna to the King! Sermon: Global Culture Aaron Williams Texts: Revelation 4:1 (p. 997) 1 After this I looked, and there in heaven a door stood open! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this." Revelation 5:9-14 (p. 997) 9 They sing a new song: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slaughtered and by your blood you ransomed for God saints from every tribe and language and people and nation; 10 you have made them to be a kingdom and priests

3 serving our God, and they will reign on earth." 11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels surrounding the throne and the living creatures and the elders; they numbered myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, 12 singing with full voice, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slaughtered to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!" 13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, singing, "To the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!" 14 And the four living creatures said, "Amen!" And the elders fell down and worshiped. << WE RESPOND>> Hymn of Response: Lord of All Nations words by Olive Wise Spannaus Lord of all nations, grant me grace To love all people, every race; And in each person may I see My kindred, loved, redeemed by thee. Break down the wall that would divide Thy children, Lord, on every side. My neighbor's good let me pursue; Let Christian love bind warm and true. With thine own love may I be filled And by thy Holy Spirit willed, That all I touch, where'er I be, May be divinely touched by thee. Prayers of the People and the Lord s Prayer Our 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. Closing Hymn #203: Hosanna, Loud Hosanna Hosanna, loud hosanna, the little children sang; Through pillared court and temple the lovely anthem rang; To Jesus, who had blessed them close folded to his breast, The children sang their praises, the simplest and the best. From Olivet they followed mid an exultant crowd, The victor palm branch waving, and chanting clear and loud; The Lord of earth and heaven rode on in lowly state, Nor scorned that little children should on his bidding wait. Hosanna in the highest! That ancient song we sing,

4 For Christ is our Redeemer, the Lord of heaven, our King; O may we ever praise him with heart and life and voice, And in his blissful presence eternally rejoice! Children s Praise: Lo, He Comes! John D. Horman Cherub Choir; Amy Shockey & Prisca Nakyua, directors; Sharon Peterson, accompanist Lo, he comes! Sing we "Hosanna!" Lo, he comes, let us sing to the Lord! Enter his gates with shouts of thanksgiving, Into his courts with songs of praise. Come, let us march in glad procession. Loud hosannas now we raise. Open your heart and welcome the Savior. Join with the song that has no end. This is the day for which we have waited. The coming of our Lord is surely at hand. Lo, he comes! Sing we "Hosanna!" Lo, he comes, let us sing to the Lord!
