Grace and peace to you from Him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits before His throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.

To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by His blood, 6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve His God and Father—to Him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.

7 Look, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of Him. So shall it be! Amen.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

A Mighty Fortress is our God, A bulwark never failing;
Our helper He amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;
his craft and power are great, And, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not His equal.

Did we in our own strength confide,

Our striving would be losing,
Were not the right Man on our side,
The Man of God’s own choosing.
Dost ask Who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He
Lord Sabaoth His name, From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.

A mighty fortress, A mighty fortress is our God!
A mighty fortress, A mighty fortress is our God!

And tho’ this world with devils filled,Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willedHis truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim, We tremble not for him –
his rage we can endure, For lo, his doom is sure:
One little word shall fell him.

That word above all earthly powers, No thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours Thru Him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also –
The body they may kill; God’s truth abideth still:
His kingdom is forever.

Our God Saves

In the name of the Father, In the name of the Son
In the name of the Spirit, Lord, we come
We're gathered together to lift up Your Name
To call on our Savior to fall on Your grace

Hear the joyful sound of our offering
As Your saints bow down, as Your people sing

We will rise with You, lifted on Your wings
And the world will see that
Our God saves, our God saves
There is hope in Your name

Mourning turns to songs of praise
Our God saves, our God saves

Come, ye sinners, poor and needy

1. Come, ye sinners, poor and needy,
weak and wounded, sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
full of pity, love, and power.

2. Come, ye thirsty, come, and welcome,
God’s free bounty glorify;
True belief and true repentance,
every grace that brings you nigh.

I will arise and go to Jesus; He will embrace me in His arms;
In the arms of my dear Savior, O, there are ten thousand charms.

3. Come, ye weary, heavy laden,
lost and ruined by the fall;
If you tarry till you’re better,
you will never come at all.

Jesus Messiah

1. He became sin Who knew no sin
That we might become His righteousness
He humbled Himself and carried the cross
Love so amazing Love so amazing

Jesus Messiah Name above all names
Blessed Redeemer Emmanuel
The rescue for sinners; The ransom from heaven

2. His body the bread His blood the wine
Broken and poured out all for love
The whole earth trembled And the veil was torn
Love so amazingLove so amazing
