Offertory (11:00) My Eternal King (Jane Marshall) #716

My God, I love Thee;
Not because I hope for heaven thereby,
Nor yet because who love Thee not must die eternally.
Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me upon the cross embrace;
For me didst wear the nails and spear, and manifold disgrace.
Why, then why, O blessed Jesus Christ, should I not love
Thee well?
Not for the hope of winning heaven, or of escaping hell;
Not with the hope of gaining aught; not seeking a reward;
But as thyself hast loved me, O ever-loving Lord!
E'en so I love Thee, and will love, and in Thy praise will sing;
Solely because Thou art my God, and my Eternal King.
anonymous 17th-Century Latin poem
translated by Edward Caswall

Prayer of Confession (Bold)

I seek your forgiveness, O God, for the hold of cynicism on my life; for the way I distrust the motives of others, attributing to them the darkness of my own thoughts; for the skepticism with which I hear the biblical word and the stories of others’ faith; for my failure to believe that you can make my life new and beautiful this day and cause me to live with power and joy. Sometimes my life is a misery, dear God, because of my unbelief. Help me to be committed to you and to find delight and innocence through purity of heart. For your love’s sake. Amen.

Lectionary Scripture

Text to anthem:
Christ of the upward way, my Guide divine,
Where Thou hast set Thy feet, may I place mine;
And move and march wherever Thou hast trod,
Keeping face forward up the hill of God.

Give me the heart to hear Thy voice and will,
That without fault or fear I may fulfill
Thy purpose with a glad and holy zest,
Like one who would not bring less than his best.

Give me the good stout arm to shield the right,
And wield Thy sword of truth with all my might,
That, in the warfare I must wage for Thee,
More than a victor I may ever be.

Christ of the upward way, my Guide divine,
Where Thou hast set Thy feet, may I place mine;
And when Thy last call comes, serene and clear,
Calm may my answer be, “Lord, I am here.”

Solo: "The Lord is my Light"
Text to solo (include in bulletin):
The Lord is my Light and my Salvation.
Whom shall I fear, whom shall I fear?
The Lord is my Light and my Salvation.
Whom shall I fear, whom shall I fear?

The Lord is my Light and my Salvation
Whom shall I fear, whom shall I fear?
The Lord is my light and my Salvation
Whom shall I fear, whom shall I fear?

The Lord is the strength,
The strength of my life,
Of whom then shall I be afraid?
