Welcome and Intimations

Prayer and 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 trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power, and the glory
for ever and ever.
Amen.

CH4 449 Rejoice the Lord is King!

1. Rejoice, the Lord is King:
   Your Lord and King adore!
   Rejoice, give thanks and sing,
   And triumph evermore.
   Lift up your heart,
   Lift up your voice!
   Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
   

2. Jesus, the Savior, reigns,
   The God of truth and love;
   When He has purged our stains,
   He took his seat above;
   Lift up your heart,
   Lift up your voice!
   Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
   

3. His kingdom cannot fail,
   He rules o'er earth and heav'n;
   The keys of death and hell
   Are to our Jesus giv'n:
   Lift up your heart,
   Lift up your voice!
   Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
   

4. He sits at God’s right hand,
   till all His foes submit,
   and bow to His command,
   and fall beneath His feet:
   Lift up your heart,
   Lift up your voice!
   Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
   

5. Rejoice in glorious hope!
   Our Lord and judge shall come
   And take His servants up
   To their eternal home:
   We soon shall hear the archangel’s voice;
   he trump of God shall sound, rejoice!

Children’s Message

CH4 57 The Lord Doth Reign (Psalm 93)

1. The Lord doth reign, and clothed is he
   with majesty most bright:
   his works do shew him clothed to be,
   and girt about with might.
   

2. The world is also stablishèd,
   that it cannot depart,
   thy throne is fixed of old, and thou
   from everlasting art.
   

3. The floods, O Lord, have lifted up,
   they lifted up their voice:
   the floods have lifted up their waves,
   and made a mighty noise.
   

4. But yet the Lord, that is on high,
   is more of might by far
   than noise of many waters is,
   of great sea-billows are.
   

5. Thy testimonies every one
   in faithfulness excel:
   and holiness for ever, Lord,
   thine house becometh well.
   

Meditation

CH4 446 Lift Up Your Hearts, Believers

1. Lift up your hearts, believers!
   This is the holy day
   when Jesus, our Redeemer,
   completes salvation’s way.
   The forty days are over,
   and clouds shine high and bright
   as Christ, the overcomer,
   is lifted from our sight.
   

2. Lift up your hearts, believers!
   Ye gates, lift up your heads!
   though minds be full of wonder,
   though souls be filled with dread.
   The Spirit has been promised,
   and, though we are alone,
   we wait until the moment
   when fire and wind are known.
   

3. Lift up your hearts, believers!
   And do not be downcast,
   for Jesus, our Redeemer,
   receives the crown at last.
   The thorns of crucifixion
   are changed to stars of light,
   and Christ, the Lord of glory,
   is named as God’s delight.
   

4. Lift up your hearts, believers!
   This is the holy day
   when Jesus, our Redeemer,
   completes salvation’s way.

CH4 437 He Is Exalted

1. He is exalted,
   the King is exalted on high;
   I will praise Him.
   He is exalted, for ever exalted
   and I will praise His name!
   

2. He is the Lord;
   for ever His truth shall reign.
   Heaven and earth
   rejoice in His holy name.
   He is exalted,
   the King is exalted on high.
