Greeting & Announcements
Prayer for Finding Direction & Purpose
Pastor: Loving God, this morning we seek direction and purpose for our lives. Open us to Your words of wisdom. May we proclaim with our lives what we know in our hearts. In this time of worship, help us more fully understand what it means to live as disciples of Jesus. Lead us back to the path of wisdom, that we might truly live. Amen.
Be Thou My Vision
Be Thou my Vision O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought by day or by night
Waking or sleeping Thy presence my light
Be Thou my Wisdom and Thou my true Word
I ever with Thee and Thou with me Lord
Thou my great Father I Thy true son
Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one
Riches I heed not nor man’s empty praise
Thou mine Inheritance now and always
Thou and Thou only be first in my heart
High King of Heaven my Treasure Thou art
High King of Heaven my victory won
May I reach Heaven’s joys O bright Heaven’s Sun
Heart of my own heart whatever befall
Still be my Vision O Ruler of all
Heart of my own heart whatever befall
Still be my Vision O Ruler of all

With the Lord Begin Your Task
With the Lord begin Your task
Jesus will direct it
For His aid and counsel ask
Jesus will perfect it
Every morn with Jesus rise
And when day is ended
In His name then close your eyes
Be to Him commended
Let each day begin with prayer
Praise and adoration
On the Lord cast every care
He is your salvation
Morning evening and at night
Jesus will be near you
Save you from the tempters might
With His presence cheer you
With your Savior at your side
Foes need not alarm you
In His promises confide
And no ill can harm you
All your trust and hope repose
In the mighty Master
Who in wisdom truly knows
How to stem disaster
If your task be thus begun
With the Saviors blessing
Safely then your course will run
Toward the promise pressing
Good will follow everywhere
While you here must wander
You at last the joy will share
In the mansions yonder
