WORSHIP SERVICE APRIL 14, 2013 Presbyterian Church in America
8:15 AM Order of Worship Prelude Welcome Blessed Assurance Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! O what a fore-taste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God. Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood. This is my story, this is my song. Praising my Savior all the day long. This is my story, this is my song. Praising my Savior all the day long. Perfect submission, perfect delight! Visions of rapture now burst on my sight. Angels descending bring from above, echoes of mercy, whispers of love. Perfect submission all is at rest, I in my Savior am happy and blest. Watching and waiting, looking above, filled with His goodness, lost in His love. Call to Worship Isaiah 55:1-3 How Great Thou Art O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder consider all the works Thy hands have made. I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed. Then sings my soul my Savior God, to Thee. How great Thou art! How great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee. How great Thou art! How great Thou art! When through the woods and forest glades I wander and hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees. When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur, and hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze.
And when I think that God, His Son not sparing, Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in. That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin. When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation and take me home, what joy shall fill heart! Then I shall bow in humble adoration and there proclaim: My God, how great Thou art! Offering Prayer Dan Berglund Offertory Doxology Old One Hundredth Praise God, from Whom all blessing flow. Praise Him all creatures here below. Praise Him above ye heavenly host. Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen. Silent Prayer and Assurance of Forgiveness Pastoral Prayer Sermon: Life in Heaven Revelation 22 Dan Ratchford Sweet By and By There s a land that is fairer than day, and by faith we can see it afar. For the Father waits over the way to prepare us a dwelling place there. In the sweet by and by, we shall meet on that beautiful shore. In the sweet by and by, we shall meet on that beautiful shore. We shall sing on that beautiful shore the melodious songs of the blest. And our spirits shall sorrow no more, not a sigh for the blessing of rest. To our bountiful Father above, we will offer our tribute of praise. For the glorious gift of His love, and the blessings that hallow our days. Benediction Postlude
10:30 AM Order of Worship Prelude Welcome How Great Is Our God The splendor of the King. Clothed in majesty. Let all the earth rejoice, let all the earth rejoice. He wraps Himself in light, and darkness tries to hide. It trembles at His voice. Age to age He stands, and time is in His hands; Beginning and the End. Beginning and the End. The God-head, three in one, Father, Spirit, Son, the Lion and the Lamb, the Lion and the Lamb. How great is our God! Sing with me, How great is our God! And all will see how great, how great is our God! Name above all names, worthy of all praise. My heart will sing How great is our God! Call to Worship Isaiah 55:1-3 Come Just As You Are Allen Jones How Great Thou Art O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder consider all the works Thy hands have made. I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed. Then sings my soul my Savior God, to Thee. How great Thou art! How great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee. How great Thou art! How great Thou art! When through the woods and forest glades I wander and hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees. When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur, and hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze. And when I think that God, His Son not sparing, Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in. That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin. When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation and take me home, what joy shall fill heart! Then I shall bow in humble adoration and there proclaim: My God, how great Thou art!
Offering Prayer Homer Sargent Offertory Doxology More Precious Than Silver Lord, You are more precious than silver. Lord, You are more costly than gold. Lord, You are more beautiful than diamonds, and nothing I desire compares with You. Silent Prayer and Assurance of Forgiveness Pastoral Prayer Sermon: Life in Heaven Revelation 22 Dan Ratchford On Jordan s Stormy Banks On Jordan s s stormy banks I stand, and cast a wishful eye. To Canaan s fair and happy land, where my possessions lie. All o er those wide extended plains, shines one eternal day. There God the Son forever reigns, and scatters night away. I am bound. (I am bound) I am bound. (I am bound) I am bound for the promised land. I am bound. (I am bound) I am bound. (I am bound) I am bound for the promised land. No chilling winds nor poisonous breath can reach that healthful shore. Sickness, sorrow, pain and death, are felt and feared no more. When shall I reach that happy place, and be forever blessed? When shall I see my Father s face, and I His bosom rest? Sacrament of Baptism Join in the celebration of the baptism of Irene Mercy Peeler, infant daughter of Brian and Jennifer Peeler.
