Congregational Hymn

Come Christians Join to Sing, #150

Come, Christians, join to sing Alleluia! Amen!
Loud praise to Christ our King; Alleluia! Amen!
Let all, with heart and voice, before His throne rejoice;
Praise is His gracious choice; Alleluia! Amen!
 
Come, lift your hearts on high; Alleluia! Amen!
Let praises fill the sky; Alleluia! Amen!
He is our guide and friend; to us He’ll condescend;

Singing forevermore, “Alleluia! Amen!”

I’ll praise when I’m sure, and praise when I’m doubting.

As long as I’m breathing, I’ve got a reason to 
 
Chorus 2X
I’ll praise ‘cause You’re sov‘reign,

praise ‘cause there’s nobody greater than You. 3X
 
Chorus 2X
 
I won’t be quiet, my God is a-live. How could I keep it in-side? 2X

Prayer of Confession

Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name (time of silent confession).
