hymnal 25
1 Crown Him with many crowns, the Lamb upon on His throne;
Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own;
Awake, my soul, and sing of Him who died for thee,
And hail Him as thy matchless King Thro' all eternity.
2 Crown Him the Lord of love; Behold His hands and side,
Rich wounds, yet visible above, In beauty glorified
No angel in the sky can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends His burning eye at mysteries so bright.
3 Crown Him the Lord of peace; Whose power a scepter sways
From pole to pole, that wars may cease, absorbed in prayer and praise;
His reign shall know no end; and round His pierced feet
Fair flowers of Paradise extend their fragrance ever sweet.


Response reading 81. Ephesians 4
PRES: As a prisoner for the LORD, then,
CONG: I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.
PRES: Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
CONG: Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
PRES: There is one body and one Spirit
CONG: just as you were called to one hope when you were called
PRES: one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
CONG: one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.


Apostle's Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His Only Son our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried;
He descended into hell; The third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in The Holy Ghost, The Holy Catholic Church,
The Communion of Saints, The forgiveness of sin,
The resurrection of the body, And the life everlasting. Amen.


Hymnal 1
Praise God from whom all blessings flow; praise Him, all creatures here below;

3 Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way! Wounded and weary, help me, I pray;
Power all power surely is Thine! Touch me and heal me, Savior divine.
4 Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way! Hold over my being absolute sway!
Fill with Thy Spirit till all shall see Christ only, alawys, living in me!


Passage: Matthew 18:1-10
1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
2 And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them
3 and said, "Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 "Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me,
6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.
7 "Woe to the world for temptations to sin! For it is necessary that temptations come, but woe to the one by whom the temptation comes!
8 And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire.
9 And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into the hell of fire.
10 "See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.


hymnal 384 - All the way my Savior leads me
1 All the way my Savior leads me; What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy, who thro' life has been my guide?
Heavenly peace, divinest comfort, here by faith in Him to dwell;
For I know whatever befall me, Jesus doeth all things well;
For I know whatever befall me, Jesus doeth all things well;
2 All the way my Savior leads me; Cheers each winding path I tread;
Gives me grace for every trial, feeds me with the living bread;
Though my weary steps may falter, and my soul a thirst may be,
Gushing from the rock before me, Lo, a spring of joy I see;
Gushing from the rock before me, Lo, a spring of joy I see;
3 All the way my Savior leads me; Oh, the fullness of His love
Perfect rest to me is promised in my Father's house above;
When my sprit cloth'd, immortal, wings its flight to realms of day,
This my song thro' endless ages Jesus led me all the way;
This my song thro' endless ages Jesus led me all the way;
