Call to Worship - Psalm 100
Hymn of Praise - “Here I Am To Worship”
Verse 1
Light of the world
You stepped down into darkness
Opened my eyes let me see
Beauty that made
This heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You
Chorus
So here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
And You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me
Verse 2
King of all days
Oh so highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above
Humbly You came
To the earth You created
All for love's sake became poor
Bridge
And I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
And I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross

Hymn of Invitation - #686 “O God, Our Help In Ages Past”
Verse 1
O God our help in ages past
Our hope for years to come
Our shelter from the stormy blast
And our eternal home
Verse 2
Under the shadow of Thy throne
Still may we dwell secure
Sufficient is Thine arm alone
And our defense is sure
Verse 3
Before the hills in order stood
Or earth received her frame
From everlasting Thou art God
To endless years the same
Verse 4
A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun
Verse 5
Time like an ever rolling stream
Bears all its sons away
They fly forgotten as a dream
Dies at the op'ning day
Verse 6
Our God our help in ages past
Our hope for years to come
Be Thou our guard while troubles last
And our eternal home
