*Opening Hymn: #471 (PH) “All Hail The Power of Jesus Name”
*Opening Litany: (From Psalm 71:17-24)
Since my youth, O God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.
Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your might to all who are to come.
Your righteousness reaches to the skies, O God, you who have done great things. Who, O God, is like you?
Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up.
You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.
I will praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praise to you with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.
My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you-- I, whom you have redeemed.
My tongue will tell of your righteous acts all day long, for those who wanted to harm me have been put to shame and confusion.

'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, Just to take Him at His word
Just to rest upon His promise, And to know thus saith the Lord
Refrain
Jesus Jesus how I trust Him, How I've proved Him o'er and o'er
Jesus Jesus precious Jesus, O for grace to trust Him more
O how sweet to trust in Jesus, Just to trust His cleansing blood
And in simple faith to plunge me, 'Neath the healing cleansing flood
Refrain
Yes 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus, Just from sin and self to cease
Just from Jesus simply taking, Life and rest and joy and peace

And I know that Thou art with me, Wilt be with me to the end
