Prelude

Let Your Light So Shine

Hymn of Praise 379

Brethren We Have Met to Worship

Brethren, we have met to worship and adore the Lord our God; Will you pray with all your power, while we try to preach the Word? All is vain unless the Spirit of the Holy One comes down; Brethren, pray, and holy manna will be showered all around.
Brethren, see poor sinners round you slumb'ring on the brink of woe; Death is coming, hell is moving, can you bear to let them go? See our fathers and our mothers, and our children sinking down; Brethren, pray, and holy manna will be showered all around.
Sisters, will you join and help us? Moses' sister aided him; Will you help the trembling mourners who are struggling hard with sin? Tell them all about the Savior, tell them that He will be found; Sisters, pray, and holy manna will be showered all around.
Let us love our God supremely, let us love each other too; Let us love and pray for sinners, till our God makes all things new. Then He'll call us home to heaven, at His table we'll sit down; Christ will gird Himself, and serve us with sweet manna all around.

Hymn 507

Would You Bless Our Homes and Families

Would you bless our homes and fam’lies, Source of life who calls us here; In our world of stress and tension teach us love that conquers fear. Help us learn to love each other with a love that constant stays; Teach us when we face our troubles, love’s expressed in many ways.
When our way is undemanding, let us use the time that’s ours To delight in simple pleasures, sharing joys in gentle hours. When our way is anxious walking and a heavy path we plod, Teach us trust in one another and in you, our gracious God.
From the homes in which we’re nurtured, With the love that shapes us there, Teach us, God, to claim as fam’ly every one whose life we share. And thro’ all that life may offer, may we in Your love remain; May the love we share in fam’lies be alive to praise Your name.
Let us reach beyond the boundries of our daily thought and care Till the family you have chosen spills its love out everywhere. Help us learn to love each other with a love that constant stays; Teach us when we face our troubles, love’s expressed in many ways.

Hymn

Just As I Am/I Come Broken

Just as I am, without one plea but that Thy blood was shed for me And that Thou bidst me come to Thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot. To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
(Chorus) I come broken to be mended, I come wounded to be healed, I come desperate to be rescued, I come empty to be filled, I come guilty to be pardoned, by the blood of Christ the Lamb And I'm welcomed with open arms, praise God, just as I am.
Just as I am, I would be lost, But mercy and grace my freedom bought, And now to glory in Your cross, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
(Chorus)
