REIGN OF CHRIST
The Last Sunday after Pentecost
November 20th, 2016
Opening Prayer
Leader: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the
love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be
with you all.
PEOPLE: AND ALSO WITH YOU.
Leader: Almighty God,
PEOPLE: to you all hearts are open, all desires
known, and from you no secrets are hidden. Cleanse
the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your
Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and
worthily magnify your holy name; through Christ
our Lord. Amen.
Prayer of Confession:
Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned
against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we
have done and by what we have left undone. We
have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not
loved our neighbours as ourselves. We are truly
sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your
Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us,
that we may delight in your will, and walk in your
ways, to the glory of your name. Amen.

Processional Hymn 378 (Common Praise)
Crown him with many crowns, the Lamb upon his
throne: hark, how the heavenly anthem drowns all music
but its own! Awake, my soul, and sing of him who died
for thee, and hail him as thy matchless King through all
eternity.
Crown him the Lord of life, who triumphed o'er the
grave, and rose victorious in the strife for those he came
to save. His glories now we sing who died and rose on
high, who died eternal life to bring, and lives that death
may die.
Crown him the Lord of peace, whose power a sceptre
sways from pole to pole, that wars may cease, absorbed
in prayer and praise. His reign shall know no end; and
round his pierced feet fair flowers of paradise extend
their fragrance ever sweet.
Crown him the Lord of love; behold his hands and side,
rich wounds yet visible above, in beauty glorified. All
hail, Redeemer, hail! for thou hast died for me; thy
praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity.
Welcome and Call to Worship
Priest: The peace of the Lord be always with you.
PEOPLE: AND ALSO WITH YOU.
The Collect of the Day: (said together)
Almighty and everliving God, whose will it is to
restore all things in your well-beloved Son, our Lord
and King, grant that the peoples of the earth, now
divided and enslaved by sin, may be freed and
brought together under his gentle and loving rule;
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.

People: THANKS BE TO GOD
Gradual Hymn 44
Rejoice, the Lord is King; your Lord and King adore;
rejoice, give thanks and sing and triumph evermore: lift
up your heart, lift up your voice: rejoice; again I say,
rejoice.
Jesus the Saviour reigns, the God of truth and love;
when he had purged our stains, he took his seat above:
lift up your heart...
His kingdom cannot fail; he rules o’er earth and heaven;
the keys of death and hell are to our Jesus given: lift up
your heart…
He sits at God's right hand till all his foes submit, and
bow to his command, and fall beneath his feet: lift up
your heart...
Rejoice in glorious hope; Jesus, the Judge, shall come
and take his servants up to their eternal home: we soon
shall hear the archangel's voice; the trump of God shall
sound, rejoice.

The Apostles' Creed: (said together, standing)
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of
heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only
Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the
Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died,
and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the
third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will
come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the
resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Amen.
Offertory Hymn: Jesus is King
Jesus is King, and I will extol Him, give Him the glory
and honour His name; He reigns on high, enthroned in
the heavens, Word of the Father, exalted for us.
We have a hope that is steadfast and certain, gone
through the curtain and touching the throne; we have a
Priest who is there interceding, pouring His grace on our
lives day by day.
We come to Him, our Priest and Apostle, clothed in His
Glory and bearing His name; laying our lives, with
gladness before Him filled with His Spirit, we worship
the King.
Oh, Holy One, our hearts do adore You; thrilled with
Your goodness, we give You our praise;
Angels in light with worship surround You, Jesus our
Saviour, forever the same.

 During Communion please maintain a quiet

following hymns. Prayer ministry is offered at the
lobby doors during Communion.
Hymn 257 - Jesus, thy boundless love to me no thought
can reach, no tongue declare; O knit my thankful heart to
thee, and reign without a rival there; thine wholly, thine
alone I am; be thou alone my constant flame.
O grant that nothing in my soul may dwell, but thy pure
love alone; O may thy love possess me whole, my joy,
my treasure, and my crown; strange fires far from my
soul remove; may every act, word, thought, be love.
home. Through days of preparation thy grace has made
us strong, and now, O King eternal, we lift our battle
song.
O love, how cheering is thy ray; all pain before thy
presence flies; care, anguish, sorrow, melt away where'er
thy healing beams arise; O Jesus, nothing may I see,
nothing desire or seek, but thee.
Lead on, O King eternal, till sin's fierce war shall cease,
and holiness shall whisper the sweet Amen of peace; for
not with swords loud clashing, nor roll of stirring drums,
but deeds of love and mercy, the heavenly kingdom
comes.
In suffering, be thy love my peace; in weakness, be thy
love my power; and when the storms of life shall cease,
Jesus, in that important hour, in death as life be thou my
guide, and save me, who for me hast died.
Lead on, O King eternal! We follow, not with fears; for
gladness breaks like morning where'ere thy face appears.
Thy cross is lifted o'er us; we journey in its light; the
crown awaits the conquest: lead on, O God of might.
I Will Offer Up My Life
I will offer up my life in spirit and truth, pouring out the
oil of love as my worship to you. In surrender I must
give my ev’ry part, Lord receive the sacrifice of a broken
heart.
Dismissal:
Leader: Go forth into the world, rejoicing in the power
of the Holy Spirit.
People: Thanks be to God.
Chorus: Jesus, what can I give, what can I bring to so
faithful a friend, to so loving a King? Saviour, what can
be said, what can be sung as a praise of your name for
the things you have done? Oh, my words could not tell,
not even in part, of the debt of love that is owed by this
thankful heart.
You deserve my every breath for you’ve paid the great
cost, giving up your life to death, even death on a cross.
You took all my shame away, there defeated my sin,
opened up the gates of heaven and have beckoned me in.

You Are The Vine
You are the Vine, we are the branches, keep us abiding
in You. (repeat) Then we’ll grow in Your love, then
we’ll go in Your name, that the world will surely know
that You have power to heal and to save.
[Danny Daniels & Randy Rigby; by permission CCLI #459447]

Christ. Make known his victory through us, we pray,
