HYMN: Now Thank We All Our God

  1. Now thank we all our God,
    With hearts, and hands and voices
    Who wondrous things hath done,
    In whom His world rejoices;
    Who, from our mothers’ arms,
    Hath bless’d us on our way
    With countless gifts of love
    And still is ours to-day.
  2. O may this bounteous God
    Through all our life be near us,
    With ever-joyful hearts
    And blessed peace to cheer us,
    And keep us in his grace
    And guide us when perplexed,
    And free us from all ills
    In this world and the next
  3. All praise and thanks to God
    The father now be given,
    The son and Him who reigns
    With Them in highest heaven
    The one, Eternal God,
    Whom earth and heaven adore;
    For thus it was, is now
    And shall be evermore.

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
