Call to Worship - Psalm 70
Hymn - #790 “We Gather Together”
Verse 1
We gather together
To ask the Lord's blessing
He chastens and hastens
His will to make known
The wicked oppressing
Now cease from distressing
Sing praises to His name
He forgets not His own
Verse 2
Beside us to guide us
Our God with us joining
Ordaining maintaining
His kingdom divine
So from the beginning
The fight we were winning
Thou Lord wast at our side
All glory be Thine
Verse 3
We all do extol Thee
Thou Leader triumphant
And pray that Thou still
Our Defender wilt be
Let Thy congregation
Escape tribulation
Thy name be ever praised
O Lord make us free

Hymn - #774 “When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder”
Verse 1
When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound
And time shall be no more
And the morning breaks eternal bright and fair
When the saved of earth
Shall gather over on the other shore
And the roll is called up yonder
I'll be there
Chorus
When the roll is called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder
I'll be there
Verse 2
On that bright and cloudless morning
When the dead in Christ shall rise
And the glory of His resurrection share
When His chosen ones shall gather
To their home beyond the skies
And the roll is called up yonder
I'll be there
Verse 3
Let us labor for the Master
From the dawn till setting sun
Let us talk of all His wondrous love and care
Then when all of life is over
And our work on earth is done
And the roll is called up yonder
I'll be there

Hymn of Invitation - “Will the Circle Be Unbroken”
Chorus
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye Lord bye and bye
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord in the sky
Verse 1
I was standin' by my window
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw this hearse come rollin'
For to carry my mother away
Verse 2
Lord I told the undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For this body you are haulin'
Lord I hate to see her go
Verse 3
I will follow close behind her
Try to hold off and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in her grave
Verse 4
I went back home Lord
My home was lonesome miss my mother
She was gone all my brothers sisters cryin'
What a home so sad and lorn
