WORSHIP HYMNS FOR TODAY’S MORNING SERVICE
IMMORTAL INVISIBLE , GOD ONLY WISE
1. Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great Name we praise.
2. Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might;
Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring above
Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.
3. To all, life Thou givest, to both great and small;
In all life Thou livest, the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish--but naught changeth Thee.
4. Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;
All Praise we would render; O help us to see
Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee,
TRUST AND OBEY
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.
¶ Refrain
Trust and obey, for there's no other way
To be happy with Jesus, but to trust and obey.
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 blessed if we trust and obey.
(Repeat refrain)
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.
(Repeat refrain)
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.
(Repeat refrain)
CONFIRMATION LESSONS COMMENCING SOON

OUR SPECIAL GUEST PREACHER FOR TONIGHT
ARCHBISHOP DANIEL YINKAH SARFO
1. O Lord, who came from heaven above,
The pure celestial fire to impart,
Kindle a flame of sacred love
On the mean altar of my heart.
2. There let it for your glory burn
With inextnguishable blaze,
And trembling to its source return
In humble prayer and fervent praise.
3. Jesus, confirm my heart's desire
To live for you continually;
Still let me guard the holy fire,
And still stir up your gift in me.
4. Ready for all perfect will,
My acts of faith and love repeat,
Till death your endless mercies seal,
And make the sacrifice complete.

PLEASE PRAY FOR THE SUCCESS
OF THIS EVENT
Archbishop Daniel Yinkah Sarfo
And in Jesus Christ His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of
the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into Hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven,
and sitteth on the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to
judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the Communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
Amen.
