Opening Hymn - “Refiner’s Fire”
Verse 1
Purify my heart
Let me be as gold
And precious silver
Purify my heart
Let me be as gold
Pure gold
Chorus
Refiner's fire
My heart's one desire
Is to be holy
Set apart for You Lord
I choose to be holy
Set apart for You my Master
Ready to do Your will
Verse 2
Purify my heart
Cleanse me from within
And make me holy
Purify my heart
Cleanse me from my sin
Deep within

Hymn of Invitation - #686 “O God, Our Help in Ages Past”
Verse 1
O God our help in ages past
Our hope for years to come
Our shelter from the stormy blast
And our eternal home
Verse 2
Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwell secure
Sufficient is Thine arm alone
And our defense is sure
Verse 3
Before the hills in order stood
Or earth received her frame
From everlasting Thou art God
To endless years the same
Verse 4
A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun
Verse 5
Time like an ever rolling stream
Bears all its sons away
They fly forgotten as a dream
Dies at the op'ning day
Verse 6
Our God our help in ages past
Our hope for years to come
Be Thou our guard while troubles last
And our eternal home
