t h e G l or i a P at r i ¶ The People stand. (Hymn № 734) Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen. ¶ After the prayer, the People sit. S E R M ON Avoid Captivity Mark Booker H YM N ¶ The People stand. In Christ Alone In Christ Alone Fine D. C. 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.
