October 24, 2021 Preparation for Worship Time for Gathering Opening Hymn “Sing Praise To God Who Reigns Above” 1 Sing praise to God who reigns above The God of all creation The God of power the God of love The God of our salvation With healing balm my soul he fills And every faithless murmur stills To God all praise and glory 2 The Lord is never far away But through all grief distressing An ever-present help and stay Our peace and joy and blessing As with a mother's tender hand He leads his own his chosen band To God all praise and glory 3 Thus all my gladsome way along I sing aloud thy praises That all may hear the grateful song My voice unwearied raises Be joyful in the Lord my heart Both soul and body bear your part To God all praise and glory Prayer of Praise Song of Worship Prayers of the Church and the Prayer of our Lord Offering and Doxology Scripture Lesson John 8:42-58 Page 817 Sermon Before Abraham Closing Hymn “At the Name of Jesus” 1 At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, every tongue confess him King of glory now; 'tis the Father's pleasure we should call him Lord, who from the beginning was the mighty Word. 2 At his voice creation sprang at once to sight: all the angel faces, all the hosts of light, thrones and dominations, stars upon their way, all the heavenly orders in their great array. 3 In your hearts enthrone him; there let him subdue all that is not holy, all that is not true. Look to him, your Savior, in temptations' hour; let his will enfold you in its light and power. 4 Christians, this Lord Jesus shall return again, with his Father's glory o'er the earth to reign; for all wreaths of empire meet upon his brow, and our hearts confess him King of glory now.
