Opening Hymn: “Eternal Father, Strong to Save” #2191 TFWS
Words: William Whiting Music: John B. Dykes
1.Eternal Father, strong to save, whose
arm has bound the restless wave, who bid the mighty
ocean deep its own appointed limits keep: O
hear us when we cry to thee for those in peril on the sea.
2.O Savior, whose almighty word the
wind and waves submissive heard, who walked upon the
foaming deep, and calm amid its rage did sleep: O
hear us when we cry to thee for those in peril on the sea.
3.O Holy Spirit, who did brood upon
the chaos wild and rude, and bid its angry
tumult cease, and gave, for fierce confusion, peace: O
hear us when we cry to thee for those in peril on the sea.
4.O Trinity of love and power, all travelers
guard in danger’s hour; from rock and tempest,
fire and foe, protect them whereso e’er they go; thus evermore
shall rise to thee glad praise from air and land and sea.
Old Testament Lesson: 1 Samuel 17:32-49……………Kukua H.
Hymn of Preparation: “As the Deer” #2025 TFWS
Words: Martin J. Nystrom Music: Martin J. Nystron
1.As the deer pants for the water, so my soul longs after
you. You alone are my heart’s desire, and I long to worship
you. You alone are my strength, my shield; to you alone
may my spirit yield. You alone are my heart’s desire,
and I long to worship you.
2.You are my friend, and you are my brother even though
you are a king. I love you more than any other so much
more than anything. You alone are my strength, my shield;
to you alone may my spirit yield. You alone are my heart’s desire, and I long to worship you.

Closing Hymn: “O God Beyond All Praising” #2009 TFWS
Words: Michael Perry Music: Gustav T. Holst
Words: ©1982, 1987 Jubilate Hymns, admin. by Hope Publishing Co.
1.O God beyond all praising, we worship you today
and sing the love amazing that songs cannot repay;
for we can only wonder at every gift you send,
at blessings without number and mercies without end:
We lift our hearts before you and wait upon your Word,
we honor and adore you, our great and mighty Lord.
2.Then hear, O gracious Savior, accept the love we bring,
that we who know your favor may serve you as our king;
and whether our tomorrows be filled with good or ill,
we’ll triumph through our sorrows and rise to bless you still:
To marvel at your beauty and glory in your ways,
and make a joyful duty our sacrifice of praise.
Dismissal with Blessing…….………………Michael L.
