SCRIPTURE LESSON
Selection: Solo -- "The Lord is my Strength" ... Kuhn
By Mrs. Mildred M. Stanley Miss E L Keehne, Accompanist
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty,
The King of Creation!
O my soul, praise Him,
For He is thy health and salvation!
Join the full throng;
Wake, hapr and psalter ans song;
Sound forth in glad adoration.

Praise to the Lord, Who o'er all things
So wondrously reigneth
Who,m as on wings of eagle uplifteth sustaineth,
Hast thou not see,
How thy desires all have been
Granted in what He ordaineth?
Praise to the Lord, who doth visibly
Bless and defend thee;
Ponder anew,
What the Almighty can do,
If with His love He beriend thee!

Praise to the Lord! O let all that is
Within me adore Him!
All that hath life and breath, Come now
With praises before Him!
He is thy light;
Soul, keep it awlays in sight,
Gladly, forever adore Him!

SERMON: Rev. O. F. Stolzenburg ... Columbus, O.

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus' name
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness veils His lovely face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

His oath, His covenant, and blood,
Support me in the sinking flood;
When every earthly prop gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay,
On Christm the solid Rock, I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand,

When I shall alunch to worlds unseen,
O may I then be found in Him,
Dressed in His rightesousness alone,
Faultess to stand before the throne,
On Christ, the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

PRAYER Creed in Unison. Benediction,

God be with you till we meet again;
By His counsels, guide, uphold you,
With His sheep securely fold you,
God be with you tll we meet again,
Chorus
Till we meet, till we meet,
Till we meet at Jesus' feet:
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again,
God be with you till we meet again,
Keep loves' banner flaoting o'er you,
Smit death's threatening wave before you,
God be with you till we meet again. Cho.
Lord's Prayer in unison
