Join, Every Tongue, To Sing & Praise
Words by Joseph Hart, 1712-1768; Music by Robert Turner, 2008
Join, every tongue, to sing and praise
The mercies of our Lord ;
The love of Christ, our God and King,
Let every heart record.
He saved us from the wrath of God,
And paid our ransom with his blood.
Join, every tongue, to sing and praise
The mercies of our Lord ;
What wondrous grace was this, was this!
We sinned; and Jesus died:
He wrought our perfect righteousness,
And we were justified:
We ran the score to lengths extreme,
And all our debt was charged on him.
Join, every tongue, to sing and praise
The mercies of our Lord ;
Hell was our just desert,
And he that hell endured;
Our guilt broke his guiltless heart
With wrath that we incurr'd;
We bruised his body, spilt his blood,
And both became our heavenly food.
Join, every tongue, to sing and praise
The mercies of our Lord ;
Repeat verse 1

Meditation Psalm 115:1
Not to us, OLord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!
Call to Worship Psalm 118: 1-3, 19-21,22-24 Leader:Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever! Let Israel say, “His steadfast love endures forever.” Let the house of Aaron say, “His steadfast love endures forever.”
People: Open to me the gates of righteousness that I may enter through them and give thanks to the Lord. This is the gate of the Lord; the righteous shall enter through it. I thank you that you have answered me and have become my salvation.
Leader: The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is the Lord's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.
People:This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Songs of Praise
How Great Is Our God
Words and Music by Chris Tomlin, Jesse Reeves, and Ed Cash, 2004
The splendor 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, and trembles at His voice
(Chorus)
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and 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, Lion and the Lamb
Chorus
(2x)
You’re the name above all names, You are worthy of all praise
My heart will sing how great is our God
Chorus
Holy, Holy, Holy!
Public Domain. Words: Reginald Heber. Music: John Dykes.
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning, our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!
Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Which wert and art and ever more shall be.
Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinful man, Thy glory may not see;
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy name
In earth, and sky, and sea;
Holy, holy, holy; merciful and mighty!
God in three Person, blessed Trinity!

Words by Adams Music by Robert Turner, 2009
Draw my soul to thee my Lord, make me love thy precious word
Bid me seek thy smiling face, willing to be saved grace

Great is Thy Faithfulness
Words by Thomas O. Chisholm, 1923, Music by William M. Runyan, 1923
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
(Chorus)
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love. (Chorus)
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

The Church’s One Foundation
Words by Samuel Stone, 1866; Music: Brian Moss, 1996
The church's one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord,
She is His new creation by water and the Word.
From heaven He came and sought her to be His holy bride;
With His own blood He bought her, and for her life He died.
Elect from every nation, yet one over all the earth;
Her charter of salvation, One Lord, one faith, one birth;
One holy Name she blesses, Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses, with every grace endued.
Though with a scornful wonder, Men see her sore oppressed
By schisms rent asunder, By heresies distressed
Yet saints their watch are keeping, Their cry goes up “How long?”
And soon the night of weeping, Shall be the morn of song
Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation of peace forevermore;
'Til, with the vision glorious, her longing eyes are blessed,
And the great church victorious shall be the church at rest.
Yet she on earth hath union with God the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won.
O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we
Like them, the meek and lowly, on high may dwell with Thee
Benediction
