PRAYER OF ADORATION, ASSISTANCE, & BLESSING
Trinity Hymnal #235 “All Glory, Laud, and Honor”
All glory, laud, and honor
to thee, Redeemer, King,
to whom the lips of children
made sweet hosannas ring!
Thou art the King of Israel,
thou David's royal Son,
who in the Lord's name comest,
the King and blessed One!
The people of the Hebrews
with palms before thee went;
our praise and prayer and anthems
before thee we present:
to thee, before thy passion,
they sang their hymns of praise;
to thee, now high exalted,
our melody we raise.
Thou didst accept their praises;
accept the prayers we bring,
who in all good delightest,
thou good and gracious King!
All glory, laud, and honor
to thee, Redeemer, King,
to whom the lips of children
made sweet hosannas ring!
REFLECTION ON GOD’S LAW from Exodus 20:1-17 & N.T. corollaries, ESV
Leader: You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your mind.
People: This is the great and first commandment. (Matt. 22: 37-38)
Leader: God spoke all these words, saying, "I am the Lord your God.
You shall have no other gods before me."
People: For although there may be so-called "gods" in heaven or on earth…
yet for us there is one God. (1 Cor. 8:5-6)
Leader: You shall not make for yourself an idol.
People: What agreement has the temple of God with idols?
For we are the temple of the living God. (2 Cor. 6:16)
Leader: You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
People: Let your "yes" be yes and your "no" be no,
so that you may not fall under condemnation. (Jam. 5:12)
Leader: Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
People: There remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God,
for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works
as God did from his. (Heb. 4:9-10)
SILENT PRAYER OF CONFESSION
ASSURANCE OF PARDON Romans 10:9-10
Trinity Hymnal #679 “’Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus”
'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
just to take him at his word;
just to rest upon his promise;
just to know, "Thus saith the Lord."
Refrain:
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him!
How I've proved him o'er and o'er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust him more!
O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
just to trust his cleansing blood;
just in simple faith to plunge me
'neath the healing, cleansing flood! [Refrain]
Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
just from sin and self to cease;
just from Jesus simply taking
life and rest, and joy and peace. [Refrain]
I'm so glad I learned to trust thee,
precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
and I know that thou art with me,
wilt be with me to the end. [Refrain]
PRAYER OF THE CHURCH Elder Mike Ewing
Psalm 118:19-29 “Now Open Wide the Gates” (tune: Trinity Hymnal #30)
Now open wide the gates for me,
The gates of righteousness,
And I will enter in through them;
With thanks the LORD I’ll bless.
This is the gate that is the LORD’s,
The righteous enter in.
I’m thankful You have answered me;
My Savior You have been.
That stone is now the cornerstone
That builders once despised.
This is the doing of the LORD,
And wondrous in our eyes.
This is the day the LORD has made;
Let us be glad and sing.
Hosanna, LORD! O give success!
O LORD, salvation bring!
O blessed is the one who comes,
Comes in the LORD’s great name.
A blessing from the LORD’s own house
Upon you we proclaim.
The LORD is God and He to us
Has made the light arise.
With cords bind to the altar’s horns
The festal sacrifice.
You are my God, I’ll give You thanks;
My God, I’ll give you praise.
O thank the LORD, for He is good;
His love lasts endless days.

PRAYER OF APPLICATION & THE LORD’S PRAYER
All: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.
Hymnal #648 “My Jesus, I Love Thee”
My Jesus, I love thee, I know thou art mine;
for thee all the follies of sin I resign.
My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art thou;
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
I love thee because thou hast first loved me,
and purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree.
I love thee for wearing the thorns on thy brow;
if ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
I'll love thee in life, I will love thee in death;
and praise thee as long as thou lendest me breath;
and say, when the death-dew lies cold on my brow:
if ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
In mansions of glory and endless delight,
I'll ever adore thee in heaven so bright;
I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow:
if ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
