My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ love and righteousness; I dare not trust this earthly frame, but wholly lean on Jesus’ name. Refrain: On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; all other ground is sinking sand, all other ground is sinking sand. 2. When shadows veil my Savior’s face, I rest upon unchanging grace; In every high and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the veil. (Repeat refrain) 3 Christ’s oath and covenant and blood support me in the rising flood; When all around my soul gives way, Christ then is all my hope and stay. (Repeat refrain) 4. When Christ shall come with trumpet sound, oh, may I then in Love be found. Dressed in God’s righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne. (Repeat refrain) Old Testament Reading: Isaiah 62:1-5 Pew Bible Page: 641 New Testament Reading: 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 Pew Bible Page: 999 Pastoral Prayer *The Lord’s Prayer: Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory forever. Amen. Response to Prayers ~ Sung by All “Hear our prayer, O Lord. Hear our Prayer, O Lord, Incline Your ear to us and grant us Your peace.” *Hymn #438 When Peace, Like a River Vs. 1,2,3 & 4 (Black Hymnal) 1. When peace, like a river, upholds me each day, when sorrows like sea billows roll, Whatever my lot, you have taught me to say, “It is well, it is well with my soul.” Refrain: It is well with my soul, it is well, it is well with my soul. 2. Though evil should tempt me, though trials should come, let this blessed assurance control, That Christ has regarded my helpless estate, and has paid life and blood for my soul; (Repeat refrain) 3. My sin—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought—my sin—not in part, but the whole—Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more. Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul! (Repeat refrain) 4. O God, speed the day that is filled with your light, when clouds are rolled back as a scroll; The trumpet shall sound and the Lord shall appear, “even so”–it is well with my soul. (Repeat refrain) Gospel Reading: John 2:1-11 Pew Bible Page: 923 *Gloria Patri: Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
