Hymnal 27 v1 Majestic sweetness sits enthroned upon the Savior's brow; His head with radiant glories crowned His tips with grace over flow, His lips with grace over flow v2 No mortal can with Him compare, among the sons of men Fairer is He than all the fair that fill the heavenly train, that fill the heavenly train v3 He saw me plung'd in deep distress, and flew to my relief, for me He bore the shameful cross, and carried all my grief, and carried all my grief. v4 To Him I owe my life and breath, and all the joys I have; He makes me triumph over death, and saves me from the grave, and saves me from the grave. v5 Since from His bounty I receive, such proofs of love divine, had I a thousand hearts to give, Lord, they should all be Thine, Lord, they should all be Thine. amen. amen. amen. amen response reading 80. 2 Corinthians 4.

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.

Beautiful life with such a friend; beautiful life that has no end; Eternal life, eternal joy, he's my Friend. Passage: Matthew 23:1-12 1 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, 2 "The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat, 3 so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice. 4 They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger. 5 They do all their deeds to be seen by others. For they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long, 6 and they love the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues 7 and greetings in the marketplaces and being called rabbi by others. 8 But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers. 9 And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. 10 Neither be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Christ. 11 The greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. hymnal 370 1 The trusting heart to Jesus clings, nor any ill forebodes But at the cross of Calvary sings, "Praise God for lifted loads!" Singing I go along life's road, praising the Lord, praising the Lord. Singing I go along life's road, for Jesus has lifted my load. 2 The passing days bring many cares. "Fear not, " I hear Him say; And when my fears are turned to prayers, the burdens slip away. Singing I go along life's road, praising the Lord, praising the Lord. Singing I go along life's road, for Jesus has lifted my load. 3 He tells me of my Father's love, and never slumbring eye; My everlasting King above will all my needs supply. Singing I go along life's road, praising the Lord, praising the Lord. Singing I go along life's road, for Jesus has lifted my load. 4 When to the throne of grace I flee, I find the promise true; The mighty arms upholding me will bear my burdens too. Singing I go along life's road, praising the Lord, praising the Lord. Singing I go along life's road, for Jesus has lifted my load.
