+Call to Worship: Psalm 106:1-2
Praise the LORD!
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures for ever!
Who can utter the mighty deeds of the LORD,
or declare all his praise?
+Prayer of Invocation
+Hymn 1 – Psalm 98, The Psalter
Unto God our Saviour
sing a joyful song;
wondrous are His doings,
for His arm is strong.
He has wrought salvation,
He has made it known,
and before the nations
is His justice shown.
Joyful, all ye people
sing before the Lord;
shout and sing His praises
now in glad accord;
with the harp and trumpet
joyful praises bring;
come, rejoice before Him,
God the Lord your King.
Waves of mighty ocean,
earth with fulness stored,
floods and fields and mountains,
sing before the Lord;
for He comes with justice,
evil to redress,
and to judge the nations
in His righteousness.

+Hymn 2
Sing to the great Jehovah’s praise;
all praise to Him belongs;
who kindly lengthens out our days
demands our choicest songs.
His providence has brought us through
another various year;
we all with vows and anthems new
before our God appear.
Father, Thy mercies past we own;
Thy still continued care;
to Thee presenting, through Thy Son,
whate’er we have or are.
Our lips and lives shall gladly show
the wonders of Thy love,
while on in Jesu’s steps we go
to see Thy face above.
Our residue of days or hours
Thine, wholly Thine, shall be;
and all our consecrated powers
a sacrifice to Thee:
Till Jesus in the clouds appear
to saints on earth forgiven,
and bring the grand sabbatic year,
the jubilee of heaven.
~Charles Wesley

+Sermon
+Hymn 3
Songs of praise the angels sang,
heaven with hallelujahs rang,
when creation was begun,
when God spoke and it was done.
Songs of praise awoke the morn,
when the Prince of peace was born;
songs of praise arose, when He
captive led captivity.
Heaven and earth must pass away,
songs of praise shall crown that day;
God will make new heavens, new earth,
songs of praise shall hail their birth.
And shall man alone be dumb,
till that glorious kingdom come?
No! the church delights to raise
psalms, and hymns, and songs of praise.
Saints below, with heart and voice,
still in songs of praise rejoice,
learning here, by faith and love,
songs of praise to sing above.
Borne upon their latest breath,
songs of praise shall conquer death;
then, amidst eternal joy,
songs of praise their powers employ.
~James Montgomery
+ Celebration of the Lord’s Supper
+The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus
Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the
Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he
descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living
and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion
of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life
everlasting. Amen.
+Lord’s Prayer
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be
done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as
we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us
from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and for ever.
Amen.

+ Hymn 4
Another year is dawning!
Dear Father, let it be,
in working or in waiting,
another year with thee;
another year of leaning
upon thy loving breast,
another year of trusting,
of quiet, happy rest.
Another year of mercies,
of faithfulness and grace;
another year of gladness
in the shining of thy face;
another year of progress,
another year of praise,
another year of proving
thy presence all the days.
Another year of service,
of witness for thy love;
another year of training
for holier work above.
Another year is dawning!
Dear Father, let it be
on earth, or else in heaven,
another year for thee.
~FR Havergal
+Benediction
