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

Welcome and Announcements

Meditation Romans 5:18-19

Therefore, as one trespassled to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousnessleads to justification and life for all men. For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.

Call to Worship Psalm 104:31-34

Leader: May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in His works,

People: Who looks on the earth and it trembles, Who touches

the mountains and they smoke!

Leader: I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have being.

People:May my meditation be pleasing to Him, for I rejoice in

the Lord.

Songs of Praise

O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing

Words by Charles Wesley, 1739, Music by Kevin Twit, 1999

O for a thousand tongues to sing

My great Redeemer’s praise,

The glories of my God and King,

The triumphs of His grace!

My gracious Master and my God,

Assist me to proclaim,

To spread through all the earth abroad

The honors of Thy Name.

Jesus! the name that charms our fears,

That bids our sorrows cease;

’Tis music in the sinner’s ears,

’Tis life, and health, and peace.

He breaks the power of canceled sin,

He sets the prisoner free;

His blood can make the foulest clean,

His blood availed for me.

He speaks and, listening to His voice,

New life the dead receive,

The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,

The humble poor believe.

Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb,

Your loosened tongues employ;

Ye blind, behold your Savior come,

And leap, ye lame, for joy

O for a thousand tongues to sing

My great Redeemer’s praise,

The glories of my God and King,

The triumphs of His grace!

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty

Words by Joachim Neander, 1680; Traditional German Melody

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty
The King of creation
O my soul, praise Him
For He is thy health and salvation
All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near
Praise Him in glad adoration

Praise to the Lord
Who o'er all things so wondrously reigneth
Shelters thee under His wings
Yea, so gently sustaineth
Hast thou not seen how thy longings have been
Granted in what He ordaineth

Praise to the Lord
Who doth prosper thy work and defend thee
Surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend thee
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do
If with His love He befriend thee

Praise to the Lord, O let all that is in me adore Him
All that hath life and breath
Come now with praises before Him
Let the “Amen” sound from His people again
Gladly for aye we adore Him

Prayer of Confession

from the Valley of Vision, “The Dark Guest”

O Lord, bend my hands and cut them off,for I have often struck You with a wayward will,when these fingers should embrace You by faith.

I am not yet weaned from all created glory,honor, wisdom, and esteem of others,for I have a secret motive to eye my name in all I do.

Let me not only speak the word sin, but see the thing itself.

Give me to view a discovered sinfulness, to know that though my sins are crucified they are never wholly mortified.

Hatred, malice, ill-will, vain-glory that hungers for and hunts after man's approval and applause, all are crucified, forgiven, but they rise again in my sinful heart.

O my crucified but never wholly mortified sinfulness!

O my life-long damage and daily shame!

O my indwelling and besetting sins!

O the tormenting slavery of a sinful heart!

Destroy, O God, the dark guest within; whose hidden presence makes my life a hell.

Yet You have not left me here without grace; the cross still stands and meets my needs in the deepest straits of the soul.

I thank You that my remembrance of that cross is like David's sighting of Goliath's sword which preached forth Your deliverance.

The memory of my great sins, my many temptations, my falls, bring afresh into my mind the remembrance of Your great help, of Your support from heaven, of the great grace that saved a wretch as I am.

There is no treasure so wonderful as that continuous experience of Your grace toward me which alone can subdue the risings of sin within:

Give me more of it.

Song of Response

From Depths of Woe I Raise to Thee

Words by Martin Luther, 1523, Music by Christopher Miner, 1997

From depths of woe I raise to Thee
The voice of lamentation;
Lord, turn a gracious ear to me

And hear my supplication;
If Thou iniquities dost mark,

Our secret sins and misdeeds dark,
Who shall stand before Thee? (Who shall stand before Thee?)

Who shall stand before Thee? (Who shall stand before Thee?)

To wash away the crimson stain,

Grace, grace much more availeth;
Our works, alas! are all in vain;

In much the best life faileth:
No man can glory in Thy sight,

All must alike confess Thy might,

And live alone by mercy. (Live alone by mercy)

Therefore my trust is in the Lord,

and not in mine own merit;
On Him my soul shall rest,

His Word upholds my fainting spirit:
His promised mercy is my fort,

my comfort, and my sweet support;

I wait for it with patience. (Wait for it with patience)

Though I wait the livelong night,

and till the dawn appeareth,
My heart still trusteth in His might;

it doubteth not nor feareth:
Do thus, O ye of Israel’s seed,

ye of the Spirit born indeed;

And wait till God appeareth. (Wait till God appeareth)

Though great our sins and sore our woes,

His grace much more aboundeth;
His helping love no limit knows,

our utmost need it soundeth.
Our Shepherd good and true is He,

Who will at last His Israel free.

From all their sin and sorrow (All their sin and sorrow)

[Final chorus]

Who shall stand before Thee? (Who shall stand before Thee?)

And live alone by mercy. (Live alone by mercy)

I wait for it with patience. (Wait for it with patience)

And wait till God appeareth. (Wait till God appeareth)

From all their sin and sorrow. (All their sin and sorrow)

Offerings of Adoration & Thanksgiving

Dear Saviour We Adore
Words by Anne Steele, 1760; Music by Robert Turner, 2009

How oft, alas! this wretched heart

Has wandered from the Lord !

How oft my wandering thoughts depart,

Forgetful of His word.

Almighty grace, Thy healing power,

How glorious, how divine!

That can to life and bliss restore

So vile a heart as mine.

Yet sovereign mercy calls, "Return:"

Dear Lord, and may I come?

My vile ingra-ti-tude I mourn;

Oh take the wanderer home.

And canst Thou, wilt Thou yet forgive,

And bid my crimes remove?

And shall a pardoned rebel live

To speak Thy wondrous love

Thy pardoning love, so free, so sweet

Dear Saviour, we adore; (repeat)

Dear Saviour, Thee, we adore (repeat)

Benediction
