We praise Thee, we bless Thee, we worship Thee, we glorify Thee, we give thanks to Thee for Thy great glory, 0 God, heavenly King, God the Father Almighty. 0 Lord, the Only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ; 0 Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, that takest away the sin of the world, have mercy upon us. Thou that takest away the sin of the world, receive our prayer. Thou that sittest at the right hand of God the Father, have mercy upon us. For Thou only art holy; Thou only art the Lord; Thou only, 0 Christ, with the Holy Ghost, art most high in the glory of God the Father. Amen. THE COLLECT THE EPISTLE RESPONSORY - LORD GOD OF HOSTS JOHANN SCHNABEL Waterloo College Male Chorus THE GOSPEL THE CREED THE HYMN The God of Abraham praise Who reigns enthroned above, Ancient of everlasting days, And God of love; To Him uplift your voice, At Whose supreme command From earth we rise, and seek the joys At His right hand. Though nature's strength decay, And earth and hell withstand, To Canaan's bound we urge our way At His command. The watery deep we pass With Jesus in our view; And through the dreary wilderness Our way pursue. The goodly land we see, With peace and plenty blest; A land of sacred liberty And endless rest; There milk and honey flow, And oil and wine abound, And trees of life for ever grow, With mercy crowned. There dwells the Lord our King, The Lord our Righteousness, Triumphant o'er the world and sin, The Prince of Peace; On Zion's sacred height His kingdom He maintains, And glorious with His saints in light For ever reigns. Amen. GOD, THE SOURCE OF ALL WISDOM REV. EDGAR J. FISCHER, B.A. THE SERMON -
