O for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer's praise, the glories of my God and King, the triumphs of His grace.

The Silent Meditation upon Entering the Sanctuary

FATHER, I want to know You, but my coward heart fears to give up its toys. I cannot part with them without inward bleeding, and I do not try to hide from

You the terror of the parting. I come trembling, but I do come. Please root from my heart all those things which I have cherished so long

and which have become a very part of my living self, so that You may enter and dwell there without rival. Then shall You make the place of Your feet glorious.

Then shall my heart have no need of the sun to shine in it, for Yourself will be the light of it; and there shall be no night there. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

— A .W. TOZER, THE PURSUIT OF GOD , PAGE 30

• The Call to Worship Mr. Pendley

Minister: Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. People: Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one Who died—more than that, Who was raised—Who is at the right hand of God, Who indeed is interceding for us. ALL: Therefore God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

The Offertory Anthem Gracious Spirit, Dwell with Me arr. K. Lee Scott Chancel Choir; Dale Peterson, guest conductor

Gracious Spirit, dwell with me, I would gracious be;Help me now Thy grace to see, I would be like Thee;

And with words that help and heal, Thy life would mine reveal;And with actions bold and meek, for Christ, my Savior, speak.

Truthful Spirit, dwell with me, I would truthful be;Help me now Thy truth to see, I would be like Thee;

And with wisdom kind and clear, Thy life in mine appear;And with actions lovingly, Speak Christ’s sincerity.

Holy Spirit, dwell with me, I would holy be;Show Thy mercy tenderly, make me more like Thee;

Separate from sin, I would and cherish all things good,And whatever I can be, give Him, who gave me Thee.

Mighty Spirit, dwell with me, I would mighty be;Help me now Thy power to see, I would be like Thee;

Eternal Father, Strong to Save melita

Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep its own appointed limits keep;

Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee, for those in peril on the sea!

O Savior, Whose almighty word the winds and waves submissive heard,Who walkedst on the foaming deep and calm amid its rage didst sleep:

O hear us when we cry to Thee for those in peril on the sea.

Lord, guard and guide the men who fly and those who on the ocean ply;Be with our troops upon the land, and all who for their country stand:

Be with these guardians day and night and may their trust be in Thy might.

God, Who dost still the restless foam, protect the ones so far from home.Provide that they should always be by Thine own grace both safe and free.

O Father, hear us when we pray for those we love so far away.

O Trinity of love and power! Our brethren shield in danger's hour; From rock and tempest, fire and foe, protect them wheresoe'er they go;

Thus evermore shall rise to Thee glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
