THE ORDER OF SERVICE (The Congregation shall stand except for the reading of the Epistle, the announcements, the Sermon, and the gathering of the Offering) THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN 1. 0 worship the King, all glorious above, 0 gratefully sing his wonderful love; Our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days, Pavilioned in splendour, and girded with praise. 2. 0 tell of his might, 0 sing of his grace, Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space; His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, And dark is his path on the wings of the storm. 3. The earth with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, thy power had founded of old; Hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree, And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea. 4. Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light; It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, And sweetly distils in the dew and the rain. 5. Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail; Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end, Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend. 6. 0 measureless Might, ineffable Love, While angles delight to hymn thee above, The humbler creation, though feeble their lays, With true adoration shall sing to thy praise. (A period of silence will follow the Processional Hymn so that each person present may say his own prayer of preparation and invocation).
