Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,God of glory, Lord of love;Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee,Opening to the sun above.Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;Drive the dark of doubt away;Giver of immortal gladness, Fill us with the light of day!
All Thy works with joy surround Thee,Earth and heav’n reflect Thy rays,Stars and angels sing around Thee,Center of unbroken praise.Field and forest, vale and mountain,Flowery meadow, flashing sea,Chanting bird and flowing fountainCall us to rejoice in Thee.
Thou art giving and forgiving, Ever blessing, ever blest,Well-spring of the joy of living,Ocean depth of happy rest!Thou our Father, Christ our Brother - All who live in love are Thine;Teach us how to love each other,Lift us to the joy divine.
Mortals join the mighty chorusWhich the morning stars began;Love divine is reigning o’er us,Leading us with mercy’s hand.Ever singing, march we onward,Victors in the midst of strife;Joyful music leads us sunwardIn the triumph song of life.
( THE CALL TO WORSHIP (from Psalm 96)
Profession of Faith(from the Heidelberg Catechism, Questions No. 88-90)
Minister:What is involved in genuine repentance or conversion?
People:Two things:The dying-away of the old self—to be genuinely sorry for sinand more and more to hate and run away from it.
And the rising-to-life of the new—Wholehearted joy in God through Christ
and a love and delight to live according to the will of God by doing every kind of good work.
ALL:Eternal Father, You are good beyond all thought, I turn my eyes to You.
Unmask to me sin’s deformity,that I may hate it, abhor it, flee from it.
Grant me to know that the way of transgressors is hard, that evil paths are wretched paths,that to depart from You is to lose all good.
All these sins I mourn, lament, and for them cry pardon. Work in me more profound and abiding repentance;
give me the fullness of Godly grief that trembles in fear, yet ever trusts and loves,which is ever powerful and ever confident.
Grant that through the tears of repentanceI may see more clearly the brightness and glories of the saving cross.
SILENT PRAYERS OF THANKSGIVING AND CONFESSION
Words of Assurance and Pardon of the Gospel(Lamentations 3:21-23)
Minister:But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;
His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father,There is no shadow of turning with Thee;Thou changeth 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 aboveJoin with all nature in manifold witnessTo Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
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!
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide;Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside
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!
