[Verse 1]
O God, our Help in ages past
Our Hope for years to come
Our Shelter from the stormy blast
And our eternal Home
[Verse 2]
Under the shadow of Thy throne
Still may we dwell secure
Sufficient is Thine arm alone
And our defense is sure
[Verse 3]
Before the hills in order stood
Or earth received her frame
From everlasting Thou art God
To endless years the same
[Verse 4]
A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun
[Verse 5]
O God, our Help in ages past
Our Hope for years to come
Be Thou our Guide while life shall last
And our eternal Home

Blessed be the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come
Blessed be the Lord God Almighty,
Who reigns forevermore
Blessed be the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come
Blessed be the Lord God Almighty,
Who reigns forevermore
[Verse]
Father in heaven, how we love You
We lift Your name in all the earth
May Your kingdom be established in our praises
As Your people declare Your mighty works
[Refrain]
Blessed be the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come
Blessed be the Lord God Almighty,
Who reigns forevermore
Blessed be the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come
Blessed be the Lord God Almighty,
Who reigns forevermore
Who reigns forevermore

[Verse 1]
I don't know about tomorrow
I just live from day to day
I don't borrow from its sunshine
For it’s skies may turn to gray
I don't worry o'er the future
For I know what Jesus said
And today I'll walk beside Him
For He knows what is ahead
[Chorus]
Many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand
[Verse 2]
Ev'ry step is getting brighter
As the golden stairs I climb
Ev'ry burden's getting lighter
Ev'ry cloud is silver lined
There the sun is always shining
There no tear will dim the eye
At the ending of the rainbow
Where the mountains touch the sky
[Chorus]
Many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand
[Verse 3]
I don't know about tomorrow
It may bring me poverty
But the one who feeds the sparrow
Is the one who stands by me
And the path that be my portion
May be through the flame or flood
But His presence goes before me
And I'm covered with His blood
[Chorus]
Many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand
Scripture Reading
Read aloud (together if applicable).
R-34: GOD’S WORD (上帝的道)
Psalm 19:7-14 (NKJV)
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul;
The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;
The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold,
Yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
Moreover by them Your servant is warned,
And in keeping them there is great reward.
Who can understand his errors?
Cleanse me from secret faults.
Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins;
Let them not have dominion over me...
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer.
Sermon
Song of Response
TEXT & MUSIC: Al Smith
I know who holds the future
And I know He holds my hand
With God things don’t just happen
Ev’rything by Him is planned
So as I face tomorrow
With its problems large and small
I’ll trust the God of miracles
Give to Him my all
I know who holds the future
And I know He holds my hand
With God things don’t just happen
Ev’rything by Him is planned
So as I face tomorrow
With its problems large and small
I’ll trust the God of miracles
Give to Him my all
Worship through Prayer
I offer my sincere praise and thanksgiving to You for all that You have done for me. You have been so good to me. Never for a moment have You forsaken me. Thank You for keeping all Your promises. Praise be to You.
As the year begins, I want to sing Your praise. Fill my heart with Your love. Let me be joyful in You always. I do not know what this year holds, but I rejoice confidently for I know You hold my tomorrows. I believe that in You all will be well.
I rededicate my life to You. Let me be Your instrument. Use me however You desire. I desire Your will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. Let me be part of Your holy work. Show me the wonders of Your great love as I live for You.
