Opening prayer

Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,

God of glory, Lord of love;

Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee,

Op’ning to the sun above.

Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;

Drive the dark of doubt away;

Giver of immortal gladness,

Fill us with the light of day!

All Thy works with joy surround Thee,

Earth and heav’n reflect Thy rays,

Stars and angels sing around Thee,

Center of unbroken praise.

Field and forest, vale and mountain,

Flow’ry meadow, flashing sea,

Singing bird and flowing fountain

Call us to rejoice in Thee.

Thou art giving and forgiving,

Ever blessing, ever blest,

Wellspring of the joy of living,

Ocean depth of happy rest!

Thou our Father, Christ our Brother,

All who live in love are Thine;

Teach us how to love each other,

Lift us to the joy divine.

Mortals, join the happy chorus,

Which the morning stars began;

Father love is reigning o’er us,

Brother love binds man to man.

Ever singing, march we onward,

Victors in the midst of strife,

Joyful music leads us Sunward

In the triumph song of life.

BIBLE READING

Special song .

From the highest of heights

to the depths of the sea

Creation's revealing Your majesty

From the colors of fall to the

fragrance of spring

Every creature unique in the song

that it sings

All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable,

You placed the stars in the sky

and You know them by name.

You are amazing God

All powerful, untamable,

Awestruck we fall to our knees

as we humbly proclaim

You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning

bolt where it should go

Or seen heavenly storehouses

laden with snow

Who imagined the sun and

gives source to its light

Yet conceals it to bring us

the coolness of night

None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable,

You placed the stars in the sky

and You know them by name.

You are amazing God

All powerful, untamable,

Awestruck we fall to our knees

as we humbly proclaim

You are amazing God

Incomparable, unchangeable

depths of my heart and

You love me the same

You are amazing God

You are amazing God

Indescribable, uncontainable,

You placed the stars in the sky

and You know them by name.

You are amazing God

Time of Congregational prayer

The splendour of the King, clothed in

majesty,

Let all the earth rejoice, all the earth

rejoice.

He wraps Himself in light, and

darkness tries to hide,

And trembles at his voice, trembles at

his voice.

How great is our God, sing with me

How great is our God, all will see

How great, how great is our God

Age to age He stands and time is in His

hands,

Beginning and the end, beginning and the

end.

The Godhead, three in one: Father, Spirit,

Son,

The Lion and the Lamb, the Lion and the

Lamb.

How great is our God, sing with me

How great is our God, all will see

How great, how great is our God

Name above all names

Worthy of all praiseMy heart will singHow great is our God

How great is our God, sing with me

How great is our God, all will see

How great, how great is our God

God bless you all and

have a blessed day
