Call to Worship

Hymn: 19 Long as I live I'll bless Your Name

1/6 Long as I live I’ll bless Your Name,
my King, my God of love;
my work and joy shall be the same
in the bright world above.

2/6 Great is the Lord, His power unknown,
and let His praise be great:
I’ll sing the honours of Your throne,
Your works of grace repeat.

3/6 Your grace shall dwell upon my tongue,
and while my lips rejoice,
the men that hear my sacred song
shall join their cheerful voice.

4/6 Fathers to sons shall teach Your Name,
and children learn Your ways;
age to come Your truth proclaim,
and nations sound Your praise.

5/6 Your glorious deeds of ancient date
shall through the world be known;
Your arm of power, Your heavenly state,
with public splendour shown.

6/6 The world is managed by Your hands,
Your saints are ruled by love;
and Your eternal kingdom stands,
though rocks and hills remove.
Reading: Matthew 25:31-46

Psalm: Psalm 1(a):1-6

1 Blessed is the one who turns away from where the wicked walk,
Who does not stand in sinners’ paths or sit with those who mock.

2 Instead he finds God’s holy law his joy and great delight;
He makes the precepts of the LORD his study day and night.

3 He prospers ever like a tree that’s planted by a stream,
And in due season yields its fruit; its leaves are always green.

4 Not so the wicked! They are like the chaff that’s blown away.
5 They will not stand when judgment comes or with the righteous stay.

6 It is the LORD who sees and knows the way the righteous go,
But those who live an evil life the LORD will overthrow.

Prayer   

Psalm: Psalm 18:29-36

29 With help from God I can advance Against a troop and rout them all,
And with the aid my God will give I can leap over any wall.

30 For perfect is the way of God; No flaw is found within his word.
To all who put their trust in him A shield and refuge is the LORD.

31 For who is God except the LORD? Besides our God, who is the Rock?
32 He is the God who gives me strength, And he perfects the path I walk.

33 He makes my feet like feet of deer; Upon the heights he makes me stand.
34 My arms can bend a bow of bronze; In skills of war he trains my hand.

35 Your right hand gives me victory; You stoop down low to make me great.
36 So that my footsteps do not trip You smooth the pathway for my feet.

Reading:   Judges 8:4-17

Sermon

Hymn: 318 Lo! He comes with clouds descending  

1/5 Lo! He comes with clouds descending,
once for favoured sinners slain;
thousand saints attending
swell the triumph of His train:
Hallelujah!
God appears on earth to reign.

2/5 Every eye shall now behold Him
robed in dreadful majesty;
those who set at nought and sold Him,
pierced and nailed Him to the tree,
deeply wailing,
shall the true Messiah see.

3/5 Every island, sea, and mountain,
heaven and earth, shall flee away;
all who hate Him must, confounded,
hear the trump proclaim the day;
come to judgement!
come to judgement! come away!

4/5 Now redemption, long expected,
see in solemn pomp appear!
All His saints, by man rejected,
now shall meet Him in the air:
Hallelujah!
See the day of God appear!

5/5 Yea, Amen! let all adore Thee,
high on Thine eternal throne!
Saviour, take the power and glory;
claim the kingdom for Thine own:
O come quickly!
Hallelujah! come, Lord, come!


Benediction
