Call to Worship & Invocation
Hymn: “Jesus Calls Us” Words: Cecil F. Alexander, 1852, Music: GALILEE by William H. Jude, 1874
Jesus calls us over the tumult
Of our life’s wild, restless, sea;
Day by day His sweet voice soundeth,
Saying, “Christian, follow Me!”
Jesus calls us from the worship
Of the vain world’s golden store,
From each idol that would keep us,
Saying, “Christian, love Me more!”
In our joys and in our sorrows,
Days of toil and hours of ease,
Still He calls, in cares and pleasures,
“Christian, love Me more than these!”
Jesus calls us! By Thy mercies,
Savior, may we hear Thy call,
Give our hearts to Thine obedience,
Serve and love Thee best of all.
Scripture: John 1:35-42

Prayer
Hymn: I Have Decided to Follow Jesus” Words: Anonymous, Music: Traditional Indian Tune
I have decided to follow Jesus,
I have decided to follow Jesus,
I have decided to follow Jesus,
No turning back, no turning back.
The world behind me, the cross before me,
The world behind me, the cross before me,
The world behind me, the cross before me,
No turning back, no turning back.
Tho’ none go with me, still I will follow,
Tho’ none go with me, still I will follow,
Tho’ none go with me, still I will follow,
No turning back, no turning back.
Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
No turning back, no turning back.
Benediction
