Call to Worship & Invocation
Hymn: “How Firm a Foundation” Words: John Rippon’s Selection of Hymns, 1787, Music: FOUNDATION, Traditional American melody
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said,
You, who unto Jesus for refuge have fled?
“Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid;
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand.”
“The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose,
I will not, I will not desert to his foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I’ll never, no never, no never forsake.”
Scripture: Isaiah 40:21-31

Hymn: “Standing on the Promises” Words & Music: R. Kelso Carter, 1886
Standing on the promises of Christ my king,
Through eternal ages let His praises ring,
“Glory in the highest,” I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.
Refrain
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises that cannot fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
By the living Word of God I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God. Refrain
Standing on the promises, I cannot fall,
Listening every moment to the Spirit’s call,
Resting in my Savior as my All in All,
Standing on the promises of God. Refrain
Benediction
