What is our hope in life and death?

Christ alone, Christ alone.

What is our only confidence?

That our souls to Him belong.

Who holds our days within His hand?

What comes, apart from His command?

And what will keep us to the end?

The love of Christ, in which we stand.

 

O sing hallelujah!

Our hope springs eternal

O sing hallelujah!

Now and ever we confess

Christ our hope in life and death.

 

What truth can calm the troubled soul?

God is good, God is good.

Where is His grace and goodness known?

In our great Redeemer's blood.

Who holds our faith when fears arise?

Who stands above the stormy trial?

Who sends the waves that bring us nigh

Unto the shore, the rock of Christ?

 

Unto the grave, what will we sing?

"Christ, He lives; Christ, He lives!"

And what reward will heaven bring?

Everlasting life with Him

And we will rise to meet the Lord

Then sin and death will be destroyed

And we will feast in endless joy

When Christ is ours forevermore!

 

Call to worship             

 

God, we praise you! God, we bless you!             CH4 120

God, we name you sovereign Lord!

Mighty King whom angels worship,

Father, by your church adored:

All creation shows your glory,

Heaven and earth draw near your throne

Singing 'Holy, holy, holy,

Lord of hosts, and God alone!'

 

True apostles, faithful prophets,

Saints who set their world ablaze,

Martyrs, once unknown, unheeded,

Join one growing song of praise,

While your church on earth confesses

One majestic Trinity:

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,

God, our hope eternally.

 

Jesus Christ, the King of glory,

Everlasting Son of God,

Humble was your virgin mother,

Hard the lonely path you trod:

By your cross is sin defeated,

Hell confronted face to face,

Heaven opened to believers,

Sinners justified by grace.

 

Christ, at God's right hand victorious,

You will judge the world you made;

Lord, in mercy help your servants

For whose freedom you have paid:

Raise us up from dust to glory,

Guard us from all sin today;

King enthroned above all praises,

Save your people, God, we pray.

 

Prayer of approach to God

 

Together Time              

 

Jesus loves me!  This I know,

For the Bible tells me so;

Little ones to Him belong –

They are weak, but He is strong.

 

Yes, Jesus loves me!

Yes, Jesus loves me!

Yes, Jesus loves me!

The Bible tells me so.

 

Jesus loves me!  He who died,

Heaven’s gate to open wide;

He will wash away my sin,

Let His little child come in.

 

Jesus loves me!  He will stay

Close beside me all the way,

Then His little child will take

Up to Heaven for His dear sake.

 

Bible reading                 1 John 1.1-10 (p.1225)

 

Speak, O Lord, as we come to You                      MP 1350

To receive the food of Your Holy Word.

Take Your truth, plant it deep in us;

Shape and fashion us in Your likeness,

That the light of Christ might be seen today

In our acts of love and our deeds of faith.

Speak, O Lord, and fulfil in us

All Your purposes for Your glory.

 

Teach us, Lord, full obedience,

Holy reverence, true humility;

Test our thoughts and our attitudes

In the radiance of Your purity.

Cause our faith to rise; cause our eyes to see

Your majestic love and authority.

Words of power that can never fail –

Let their truth prevail over unbelief.

 

Speak, O Lord, and renew our minds;

Help us grasp the heights of Your plans for us –

Truths unchanged from the dawn of time

That will echo down through eternity.

And by grace we’ll stand on Your promises,

And by faith we’ll walk as You walk with us.

Speak, O Lord, till Your church is built

And the earth is filled with Your glory.

 

Sermon               

 

We have heard a joyful sound:                  MP 730

Jesus saves!

Spread the gladness all around:

Jesus saves!

Bear the news to every land,

Climb the steeps and cross the waves;

Onward! 'tis our Lord's command:

Jesus saves!

 

Sing above the battle’s strife:

Jesus saves!

By His death and endless life:

Jesus saves!

Sing it softly through the gloom,

When the heart for mercy craves;

Sing in triumph o'er the tomb:

Jesus saves!

 

Give the winds a mighty voice:

Jesus saves!

Let the nations now rejoice:

Jesus saves!

Shout salvation full and free,

To every strand that ocean laves –

This our song of victory:

Jesus saves!

 

Prayer of thanksgiving and intercession

 

There is a Redeemer,                        MP 673

Jesus, God's own Son,

Precious Lamb of God, Messiah,

Holy One.

 

Thank You, O my Father,

For giving us Your Son,

And leaving Your Spirit

Till the work on earth is done.

 

Jesus, my Redeemer,

Name above all names,

Precious Lamb of God, Messiah,

O for sinners slain.

 

When I stand in glory,

I will see His face,

And there I'll serve my King forever,

In that holy place.

 

Blessing
