Come, Thou Almighty King                 267

1 Come, thou Almighty King,
help us thy name to sing,
help us to praise.
Father, all glorious,
o'er all victorious,
come and reign over us,
Ancient of Days.

 

2 Come, thou Incarnate Word,
gird on thy mighty sword,
scatter thy foes.
Let thine almighty aid
our sure defense be made,
our souls on thee be stayed;
thy wonders show.

 

3 Come, Holy Comforter,
thy sacred witness bear
in this glad hour.
Thou who almighty art,
now rule in ev'ry heart,
and ne'er from us depart,
Spirit of power.

 

4 To the great One in Three
eternal praises be,
hence evermore.
His sov'reign majesty
may we in glory see,
and to eternity
love and adore.

It Is Good to Sing Thy Praises                                   584

1 It is good to sing your praises
and to thank you, O Most High,
showing forth your lovingkindness
when the morning lights the sky.
It is good, when night is falling,
of your faithfulness to tell,
while with sweet, melodious praises
songs of adoration swell.

 

2 You have filled my heart with gladness
through the works your hands have wrought;
you have made my life victorious,
great your works and deep your thought.
You, O Lord, on high exalted,
reign forevermore in might;
all your enemies shall perish,
sin be banished from your sight.

 

3 But the good shall live before you,
planted in your dwelling place,
fruitful trees and ever verdant,
nourished by your boundless grace.
In his goodness to the righteous
God his righteousness displays;
God my rock, my strength and refuge,
just and true are all his ways.

God The Omnipotent                                                                 33

 

1 God the all-terrible! King, who ordainest
great winds thy clarion, lightnings thy sword,
show forth thy pity on high where thou reignest;
give to us peace in our time, O Lord.

2 God the All-merciful! Earth hath forsaken
thy ways of blessedness, slighted thy Word;
let not thy wrath in its terrors awaken;
give to us peace in our time, O Lord.

 

 

 

3 God the all-righteous One! Man hath defied thee;
yet to eternity standeth thy Word;
falsehood and wrong shall not tarry beside thee;
give to us peace in our time, O Lord.

 

 

 

4 So shall Thy people, with thankful devotion,
Praise Him who saved them from peril and sword,
Singing in chorus form ocean to ocean,
Peace to the nations, and praise to the Lord

 

 

 

New Testament Reading:
 

In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.

 

In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

 

Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

 

And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. (Ephesians 1:11-23)

Opening Prayer: Almighty God, unto whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid; cleanse the thoughts of our minds, we beseech Thee, by the inspiration of Thy Holy Spirit, that, being delivered from every unholy motion of the flesh and spirit, we may perfectly love Thee, with a pure heart and sanctified lips worship Thee, and worthily magnify Thy holy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

**Opening Hymn: Come, Thou Almighty King 267 

 

** Invocation: I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations. For your steadfast love is as high as the heavens; your faithfulness extends to the clouds. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.

 

**Call to Worship: Revelation 19:11-16

M: Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. 

C: And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 

M: His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. 

C: He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 

M: And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 

C: Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. 

M: And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 

C: And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

 

Reading of the Law: Exodus 20:1-17 

 

**Prayer of Confession: Almighty and most merciful Father; We have erred, and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against thy holy laws. We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; And we have done those things which we ought not to have done; And there is no health in us. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders. Spare thou them, O God, which confess their faults. Restore thou them that are penitent; According to thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesus our Lord. And grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake; That we may hereafter live a godly, righteous and sober life. To the Glory of thy holy Name. Amen.
