WORSHIP HYMNS FOR TODAY’S MORNING SERVICE
O, WORSHIP THE KING
1. O worship the King, all glorious above,
O gratefully sing His power and His love;
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.
2. O tell of His might, O sing of His grace,
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space,
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.
3. The earth with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old;
Established it fast by a changeless decree,
And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea.
4. Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.
A CHARGE TO KEEP I HAVE
1. A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify,
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky:
2. To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfil:
O may it all my powers engage
To do my Master's will!
3. Arm me with jealous care,
As in Thy sight to live;
And O Thy servant, Lord, prepare
A strict account to give!
4. Help me to watch and pray,
And on Thyself rely,
Assured, if I my trust betray,
I shall for ever die.

HARVEST PLEDGE REMINDER
WE REMIND ALL MEMBERS WHO MADE VARIOUS PLEDGES TO UPDATE THEIR PAYMENTS
WITH THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT AS SOON POSSIBLE. GOD BLESS YOU!
1. Commit your way of living
Into the hands of God.
He is your maker, giving
You help along the road.
He, who controls the weather,
Whom winds and seas obey,
He also holds together
Your life from day to day.
2. Cheer up and put your sorrow
And trouble far away.
Don't keep until tomorrow
What you can solve today,
You do not have to carry
These burdens in your soul.
You do not need to worry,
For God is in control.
3. Put all your trust in Jesus,
He wants the best for you.
In all your work and business
Find out what he would do.
Don't let the world defeat you
By fear and anxious care:
Allow the Lord to meet you;
And speak to you in prayer.
APOSTLES’ CREED
I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.
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.

Amen.
