Service of Worship
Park Street Church | The Lord’s Day, June 26, 2022
This service booklet contains instructions (usually under the traditional symbol ¶, called a
pilcrow) and explanations to aid the full participation of God’s people in his worship. The People
read bold text with a loud voice. Scripture lessons are from the English Standard Version.

                                    t h e pr e l ude
¶ Music is played upon the organ or by the musicians, preparing us in body and mind to enter
into the Lord’s worship.

Andante-Presto, from Sonata in C major		                                  J.S. Bach (1685–1750)

                                             (11 am)
These Are They

         These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth.
         These were redeemed from among men,
         being the first-fruits unto God and to the Lamb.
         And in their mouth was found no guile,
         for they are without fault before the throne of God.
Words: Revelation 14: 4–5
Music: John Goss (1800-1880)

¶ Immediately at the conclusion of the Introit, the People stand.

			                             c al l t o wor s hip                               from Psalm 28

    Leader    Praise be to the Lord,
		            for he has heard my cry for mercy.
   The Lord is my strength and my shield;
    People
		 my heart has trusted in him, and I am helped;
			 therefore my heart dances for joy,
			 and in my song will I praise him.
    Leader    The Lord is the strength of his people,
		            and he is the sure defense of his Anointed.
    People    O save your people and bless your heritage;
		            be their shepherd and carry them for ever.”

¶ Led by the Elder

         Our Father who art in heaven; hallowed be thy Name.
            Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
         Give us this day our coming day’s bread;
            and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors;
            and lead us not into trial, but deliver us from the Evil One.
         For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

1 In Christ alone my hope is found;               3                   There in the ground his body lay,
    he is my light, my strength, my song;                               light of the world by darkness slain;
  this cornerstone, this solid ground,                                then bursting forth in glorious day,
    firm through the fiercest drought and storm.                        up from the grave he rose again!
  What heights of love, what depths of peace,                         And as he stands in victory,
    when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!                       sin’s curse has lost its grip on me;
  My comforter, my all in all—                                        for I am his and he is mine—
    here in the love of Christ I stand.                                 bought with the precious blood of Christ.

2 In Christ alone, who took on flesh,                               4 No guilt in life, no fear in death—
    fullness of God in helpless babe!                                    this is the pow’r of Christ in me;
  This gift of love and righteousness,                                from life’s first cry to final breath,
    scorned by the ones he came to save.                                 Jesus commands my destiny.
  Till on that cross as Jesus died,                                   No pow’r of hell, no scheme of man,
    the wrath of God was satisfied;                                      can ever pluck me from his hand;
  for every sin on him was laid—                                      till he returns or calls me home—
    here in the death of Christ I live.                                  here in the pow’r of Christ I’ll stand.

  with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints” Ephesians 6:18

  year would be deepened in love and holiness toward one another.

  Mothers to experience the joy of the Lord in raising little ones, for spiritual vision for
  teens and young adults, and energy to mother with the tenderness and strength from
  the Lord God.

  Fathers to be full of spiritual leadership toward their children, offering guidance and
  gentleness in the fear of the Lord.
