......."Onward, Christian soldiers"........
1. Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
with the cross of Jesus
going on before.
Christ, the royal master,
leads against the foe;
forward into battle
see his banners go!
Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
with the cross of Jesus
going on before.
2. Like a mighty army
moves the Church of God;
brothers, we are treading
where the saints have trod.
We are not divided,
all one body we,
one in hope and doctrine,
one in charity.
Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
with the cross of Jesus
going on before.
3. Crowns and thrones may perish,
kingdoms rise and wane,
but the Church of Jesus
constant will remain.
Gates of hell can never
'gainst that Church prevail;
we have Christ's own promise,
and that cannot fail.
Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
with the cross of Jesus
going on before.
4. Onward, then, ye faithful,
join our happy throng,
blend with ours your voices
in the triumph song:
Glory, laud, and honor
unto Christ the King;
this through countless ages
saints and angels sing.
Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
with the cross of Jesus
going on before.

Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, Maker of all things, Judge of all
humanity: we acknowledge and confess
our manifold sins, which we, from time to
time, most grievously have committed, by
thought, word and deed, against Thy
divine majesty. We do earnestly repent and are sorry for these our misdoings; the
remembrance of them is grievous unto us.
Have mercy upon us, most merciful Father, for Thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake. Forgive us all that is past, and grant that we may ever hereafter serve and please You in newness of life, to the honor and glory of Thy name, through Jesus the Christ our Lord. Amen.
ASSURANCE OF PARDON:
The Lord is gracious and full of
compassion; slow to anger, and of great
mercy. The Lord is good to all; and his tender mercies are over all his works. The Lord is near to all those that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those that fear him. Rest assured our sins are forgiven. Amen.
GLORIA PATRI: .......................(In Unison)
Glory be to Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Amen.
PASSING THE PEACE:
Leader: Since God has forgiven us in Christ, let us forgive one another. The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you.
People: And peace be with you also.

CLOSING HYMN:."Trust and Obey"
1. When we walk with the Lord
in the light of his word,
what a glory he sheds on our way!
While we do his good will,
he abides with us still,
and with all who will trust and obey.
Trust and obey, for there's no other way
to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
2. Not a burden we bear,
not a sorrow we share,
but our toil he doth richly repay;
not a grief or a loss,
not a frown or a cross,
but is blest if we trust and obey.
Trust and obey, for there's no other way
to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
3. But we never can prove
the delights of his love
until all on the altar we lay;
for the favor he shows,
for the joy he bestows,
are for them who will trust and obey
Trust and obey, for there's no other way
to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
4. Then in fellowship sweet
we will sit at his feet,
or we'll walk by his side in the way;
what he says we will do,
where he sends we will go;
never fear, only trust and obey.
Trust and obey, for there's no other way
to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

HYMN 1:.."Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven"
1. Praise, my soul, the King of heaven;
to his feet your tribute bring.
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
evermore his praises sing.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Praise the everlasting King!
2. Praise him for his grace and favor
to his people in distress.
Praise him, still the same as ever,
slow to chide, and swift to bless.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Glorious in his faithfulness!
3. Fatherlike he tends and spares us;
well our feeble frame he knows.
In his hand he gently bears us,
rescues us from all our foes.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Widely yet his mercy flows!
4. Angels, help us to adore him;
you behold him face to face.
Sun and moon, bow down before him,
dwellers all in time and space.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Praise with us the God of grace!
--------------------------------------------------------
HYMN 2:."Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross"
1. Jesus, keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain;
Free to all, a healing stream,
Flows from Calv'ry's mountain.
[Refrain]
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever,
Till my ransomed soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.
2. Near the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me;
There the Bright and Morning Star
Shed His beams around me. [Refrain]
3. Near the cross! O lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadow o'er me. [Refrain]
4. Near the cross! I'll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting ever;
Till I reach the golden strand,
Just beyond the river. [Refrain]
