Hymn
O Come, O Come, Emmanuel (Hymn # 194)
CONFESSION OF SIN
Almighty God,
Unto whom all hearts are open,
All desires known,
And from whom no secrets are hidden-
Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts
By the inspiration of your Holy Spirit,
So that we may perfectly love you,
And worthily magnify your holy name;
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Book of Common Prayer (1552)
ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Matthew 11.28–30
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
HYMN
While Shepherds Watched Their Flock (Hymn #223)
CONFESSION OF FAITH
Heidelberg Catechism – Lord’s Day 36
99. Q. What is required in the third commandment?
A. We are not to blaspheme or to abuse the name of God by cursing, perjury, or unnecessary oaths, nor to share in such horrible sins by being silent bystanders. Rather, we must use the holy name of God only with fear and reverence, so that we may rightly confess him, call upon him, and praise him in all our words and works.
100. Q. Is the blaspheming of God’s name by swearing and cursing such a grievous sin that God is angry also with those who do not prevent and forbid it as much as they can?
A. Certainly, for no sin is greater or provokes God’s wrath more than the blaspheming of his name. That is why he commanded it to be punished with death.
HYMN
Lord From Sorrows Deep I Call
Lord, from sorrows deep I call
When my hope is shaken
Torn and ruined from the fall
Hear my desperation
For so long I’ve pled and prayed
God, come to my rescue
Even so the thorn remains
Still my heart will praise You
Storms within my troubled soul
Questions without answers
On my faith these billows roll
God, be now my shelter
Why are you cast down my soul?
Hope in Him who saves you
When the fires have all grown cold
Cause this heart to praise You
Chorus: And, oh, my soul,
put your hope in God
My help, my Rock, I will praise Him
Sing, oh, sing
through the raging storm
You’re still my God, my salvation
Should my life be torn from me
Every worldly pleasure
When all I possess is grief
God, be then my treasure
Be my vision in the night
Be my hope and refuge
Till my faith is turned to sight
Lord, my heart will praise You
Chorus (2x)

The ABCs of the Blessed Life (Psalm 1)
Tim Mountfort
Hymn
Sing We the Song of Emmanuel
Sing we the song of Emmanuel
This the Christ who was long foretold
Lo in the shadows of Bethlehem
Promise of dawn now our eyes behold
God Most High in a manger laid
Lift your voices and now proclaim
Great and glorious, Love has come to us
Join now with the hosts of heaven
Come we to welcome Emmanuel
King who came with no crown or throne
Helpless He lay, the Invincible
Maker of Mary, now Mary's son
O what wisdom to save us all
Shepherds, sages, before Him fall
Grace and majesty, what humility
Come on bended knee, adore Him
Come adore Him
Go, spread the news of Emmanuel
Joy and peace for the weary heart
Lift up your heads for your King has come
Sing for the Light overwhelms the dark
Glory, shining for all to see
Hope alive, let the gospel ring
God has made a way,
He will have the praise
Tell the world His name is Jesus
Glory, shining for all to see
Hope alive, let the gospel ring
God has made a way,
He will have the praise
Tell the world His name is Jesus
