Anthem Reading Scripture. HymnEditorial Note: The text of this hymn was written by Samuel Longfellow (1819-1892).. Tune:―ManoahEditorial Note: “Manoah” is a hymn tune (sometimes called “Greatorex”), composed by Henry Wellington Greatorex (1816-1858)..

The loving Friend to all who bowed Beneath life’s weary load, From lips baptized in humble prayer, His consolations flowed.

The faithful Witness to the truth, His just rebuke was hurled Out from a heart that burned to break The fetters of the world.

No hollow rite, no lifeless creed, His piercing glance could bear; But longing hearts which sought Him found That God and heaven were there.

Silent Prayer.
Lord’s PrayerMatt 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Matt 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Matt 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread. Matt 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. Matt 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Response by the Pastor.
Sermon. HymnEditorial Note: The text of this hymn was written by Charlotte Elliott (1789-1871). Some wording in the version printed here has been changed from the original.. Tune:― WoodworthEditorial Note: “Woodworth” is a hymn tune composed by William B. Bradbury (1816-1868)..

Just as I am,― without one plea But that Thy love is seeking me, And that Thou bid’st me come to Thee,― O loving God! I come.

Just as I am,― though tossed about With many a conflict, many a doubt, Fightings within, and fears without,― O loving God! I come.

Just as I am,― Thou wilt receive, Wilt welcome, pardon, heal, relieve, Because Thy promise I believe,― O loving God! I come.

Admissions to the Church.
Reading Tenets.
Address. HymnEditorial Note: The text of this hymn was written by Charles Wesley (1707-1788).. Tune:― AmsterdamEditorial Note: “Amsterdam” is a hymn tune sometimes attributed to James Nares (1715-1783) and sometimes to Johann George Hille..

Open, Lord, my inward ear, And bid my heart rejoice; Bid my quiet spirit hear The comfort of Thy voice. Never in the whirlwind found, Or where earthquakes rock the place― Still and silent is the sound, The whisper of Thy grace.

From the world of sin and noise And hurry I withdraw; For the small and inward voice I wait with humble awe: Silent I am now and still, Dare not in Thy presence move; To my waiting heart reveal The secret of Thy love.

Silent Communion.
Hymn. Tune:―
Sicily.

From the table now retiring Which for us the Lord hath spread, May our hearts refreshment finding, Grow in all things like our Head!

His example by beholding, May our lives His image bear! Him our Lord and Master calling, His commands may we revere!

Love to God and man displaying, Walking steadfast in His way, Joy attend us in believing, Peace from God through endless day.

Collection.
Benediction.
