............“To God Be The Glory" #485
1. To God be the glory, great things He hath done!
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate that all may go in.
[Refrain]
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory: great things He hath done.
2. Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
But purer, and higher, and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.
[Refrain]
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory: great things He hath done.
OPENING PRAYER:.....

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: .........(Unison)
Glory be to the 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.

CLOSING HYMN:." Because He Lives" (Insert)
God sent his son, they called him Jesus,
He came to love, heal and forgive.
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my savior lives.
Because he lives
I can face tomorrow
Because he lives
All fear is gone
Because i know he holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because he lives
How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives,
But greater still the calm assurance:
This child can face uncertain day because he lives.
Because he lives
I can face tomorrow
Because he lives
All fear is gone
Because i know he holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because he lives
And then one day I'll cross the river,
I'll fight life's final war with pain.
And then, as death gives way to vict'ry,
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know he lives.
Because he lives
I can face tomorrow
Because he lives
All fear is gone
Because i know he holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because he lives

Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessèd Trinity!

Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Who wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.
3. Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinfulness Thy glory may not see,
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

All Thy works shall praise Thy Name, in earth, and sky, and sea;
Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!
