U. CHAMBERS ................ Editor [[line]] SUGGESTED ORDER OF EXERCISES. Opening Exercises. 1. USUAL SIGNAL FOR BEGINNING. 2. PRAYER. 3. SINGING WITHOUT ANOUNCEMENTS. O worship the King all glorious above And gratefully sing His wonderful love; Our Shield and Defender the Ancient of days Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise. O tell of His might and sing of His grace Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space; His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, And dark is His path on the wings of the storm. Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light - It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail; Thy mercies how tender! how firm to the end! Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend. 4. SCRIPTURE SENTENCES (Isaiah 41:10-13): Superintendent - Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. School. - Behold all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. Superintendent. - Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contend with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. School. - For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. 5. SINGING: I am Thine. Oh Lord. I have heard Thy voice, And it told Thy love to me; But I long to rise in the arms of faith, And be closer drawn to Thee. Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, To the cross where Thou hast died; Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, To Thy precious, bleeding side. Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord, By the pow'r of grace divine: Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope, And my will be lost in Thine. O the pure delight of a single hour That before Thy Throne I spend, When I kneel in pray'r and with Thee, my God, I commune as friend with friend. There are depths of love that I cannot know Till I cross the narrow sea, There are heights of joy that I may not reach Till I rest in peace with Thee. [[/column 1]] [[column 2]] 6. RECITATION IN CONCERT (Psalm 145: 10-21): 10 All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy saints shall bless thee. 11 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom and talk of thy power; 12 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. 13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion italic endureth throughout all generations. 14 The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down. 15 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season. 16 Though openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing. 17 The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. 18 The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. 19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will saved them. 20 The Lord preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy. 21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
