*Call to Worship

Proverbs 31

An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.

The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain.

She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life.

Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.

She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.

She looks well to ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.

Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.

“Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.”

All: Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

*Processional Hymn of Worship

#77 “Praise to the Lord, the Almighty"

Greeting One Another

"By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” - John 13:35

*Songs of Praise

The Old Rugged Cross

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross

The emblem of suffering and shame

And I love that old cross where the dearest and best

For a world of lost sinners was slain

So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross

Till my trophies at last I lay down

I will cling to the old rugged cross

And exchange it one day for a crown

O the old rugged cross so despised by the world

Has a wondrous attraction for me

For the dear lamb of God left His glory above

To bear it to dark Calvary

So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross

Till my trophies at last I lay down

I will cling to the old rugged cross

And exchange it one day for a crown

In the old rugged cross stained with blood so divine

A wondrous beauty I see

For ‘twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died

To pardon and sanctify me

So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross

Till my trophies at last I lay down

I will cling to the old rugged cross

And exchange it one day for a crown

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true

Its shame and reproach gladly bear

Then He’ll call me some day to my home far away

Where His glory forever I’ll share

So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross

Till my trophies at last I lay down

I will cling to the old rugged cross

And exchange it one day for a crown

 

 

Jireh

I’ll never be more loved than I am right now

Wasn’t holding You up

So there’s nothing I can do to let You down

It doesn’t take a trophy to make You proud

I’ll never be more loved than I am right now

Going through a storm but I wont go down

I hear Your voice carried in

The rhythm of the wind to call me out

You would cross an ocean so I wouldn’t drown

You’ve never been closer than You are right now

Jireh You are enough, Jireh You are enough

I will be content in every circumstance

Jireh You are enough

Forever enough always enough More than enough

I don’t wanna forget how I forget right now

On the mountaintop

I can see so clear what it’s all about

Stay by my side when the sun goes down

Don’t wanna forget how I feel right now Chorus

I’m already loved I’m already chosen

I know who I am I know what You’ve spoken

I’m already loved more than I could imagine

And that is enough

That is enough that is enough

That is enough You are enough

You are enough You are enough

So I am enough You are enough

So I am enough

If He watches over every sparrow

How much more will He clothe you (Repeat)

If He dresses the lilies With beauty and splendor

How much more will He clothe you (Repeat)

More than you ask think or imagine

According to His power

Working in us It’s more than enough

It’s more than enough

Pastoral Prayer and the Cadet Prayer

Cadet Prayer

 

  O God, our Father, Thou Searcher of human hearts, help us to draw near to thee in sincerity and truth. May our religion be filled with gladness and may our worship of thee be natural.

 

  Strengthen and increase our admiration for honest dealing and clean thinking, and suffer not our hatred of hypocrisy and pretence ever to diminish. Encourage us in our endeavor to live above the common level of life. Make us to choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong, and never to be content with a half-truth when the whole can be won. 

 

  Endow us with courage that is born of loyalty to all that is noble and worthy, that scorns to compromise with vice and injustice and knows no fear when truth and right are in jeopardy. 

 

  Guard us against flippancy and irreverence in the sacred things of life. Grant us new ties of friendship and new opportunities of service. Kindle our hearts in fellowship with those of a cheerful countenance, and soften our hearts with sympathy for those who sorrow and suffer.

 

  Help us to maintain the honor of the Corps untarnished and unsullied and to show forth in our lives the ideals of West Point in doing our duty to Thee and to our Country. 

 

  All of which we ask in the name of the Great Friend and Master of all (Jesus Christ, our Lord). Amen.
