Hymn: The Doxology
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him, all creatures here below
Praise Him above, ye heav'nly host
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Amen
Prayer for Reformation Day
Written by Martin Luther
Leader: Behold, Lord, an empty vessel that needs to be filled.
People: My Lord, fill it.
Leader: I am weak in the faith; strengthen me.
People: I am cold in love; warm me and make me fervent that my love may go out to my neighbor.
Leader: I do not have a strong or firm faith; at times I doubt and am unable to trust you altogether.
People: O Lord, help me and strengthen my faith and trust in you.

Hymn: A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Verse 1
A mighty fortress is our God
A bulwark never failing
Our helper He, amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe
His craft and power are great
And armed with cruel hate
On earth is not his equal
Verse 2
Did we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing
Were not the right Man on our side
The Man of God’s own choosing
Dost ask Who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He
Lord Sabaoth, His Name
From age to age the same
And He must win the battle
Verse 3
And though this world, with devils filled
Should threaten to undo us
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us
The Prince of Darkness grim
We tremble not for him
His rage we can endure
For lo, his doom is sure
One little word shall fell him
Verse 4
That word above all earthly powers
No thanks to them, abideth
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through Him Who with us sideth
Let goods and kindred go
This mortal life also
The body they may kill
God’s truth abideth still
His kingdom is forever

Anthem: My Worth Is Not In What I Own
My worth is not in what I own
Not in the strength
Of flesh and bone
But in the costly wounds of love
At the cross
My worth is not in skill or name
In win or lose, in pride or shame
But in the blood
Of Christ that flowed
At the cross
I rejoice in my Redeemer
Greatest Treasure,
Wellspring of my soul
I will trust in Him, no other.
My soul is satisfied
In Him alone
As summer flowers
We fade and die
Fame, youth and beauty hurry by
But life eternal calls to us
At the cross
I will not boast
In wealth or might
Or human wisdom's fleeting light
But I will boast
In knowing Christ
At the cross
I am satisfied
I am satisfied in Him alone
Two wonders here that I confess
My worth and my unworthiness
My value fixed, my ransom paid
At the cross
I rejoice in my Redeemer
Greatest treasure
Wellspring of my soul
I will trust in Him, no other
My soul is satisfied
In Him alone
My soul is satisfied
In Him alone

Hymn: The Love of God
Verse 1
The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell
It goes beyond the highest star
And reaches to the lowest hell
The guilty pair, bowed down with care
God gave His Son to win
His erring child He reconciled
And pardoned from his sin
Chorus
Oh, love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forever more endure
The saints’ and angels’ song!
Verse 2
When years of time shall pass away
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall
When men who here refuse to pray
On rocks and hills and mountains call
God’s love, so sure, shall still endure
All measureless and strong
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race
The saints’ and angels’ song
Chorus
Oh, love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forever more endure
The saints’ and angels’ song!
Verse 3
Could we with ink the ocean fill
And were the skies of parchment made
Where every stalk on earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky
Chorus
Oh, love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forever more endure
The saints’ and angels’ song!

Anthem: Lord, I Stretch My Hands to You
Lord I stretch my hands to You
No other help I know
If You should leave me all alone
Where, then, shall I go?
Oh, Lord
I give my soul to You
I seek Your care and love
No other blessings do I need
But those from You above
Lord, I ask You
Give me faith
And help me understand
And, Lord when I this life shall leave
Just hold me in Your hand
Lord, I stretch my hands to You
To you: no other help I know
I know
If You should leave me all alone
Where, then, shall I go?
Oh, Lord, oh, Lord
I stretch my hands to You

Anthem: God, We've Known Such Grief and Anger
God, we've known such grief and anger
As we've heard your people cry
We have asked you, "How much longer?"
We have sadly wondered, "Why?"
In this world of so much suffering
May we hear your word anew
"I will never leave you orphaned
I will not abandon you."
By your grace comes resurrection
By your love, you cast out fear
You give strength and sure direction
As we seek to serve you here
You give comfort to the grieving
And you bless the ones who mourn
May we trust in you, believing
Out of chaos, hope is born
Hope is ours for, God, you love us!
You have claimed us by your grace
And through Jesus, you have called us
To bring hope to every place
In each healthcare worker's caring
In each faithful volunteer
In each Christian's love and sharing
God, we glimpse your kingdom here
