MORNING WORSHIP
9:00/11:00 AM
Prelude
Brethren, We Have Met to Worship
Brethren, we have met to worship and adore the Lord our God;
Will you pray with all your power while we try to preach the Word?
All is vain unless the Spirit of the Holy One comes down;
Brethren, pray, and holy manna will be showered all around.
arr. K. Kaiser
Brethren, see poor sinners round you slumbering on the brink of woe;
Death is coming, hell is moving, can you bear to let them go?
See our fathers and our mothers and our children sinking down;
Brethren, pray and holy manna will be showered all around.
Let us love our God supremely, let us love each other too;
Let us love and pray for sinners, till our God makes all things new.
Then He’ll call us home to heaven, at His table we’ll sit down;
Christ will gird Himself and serve us with sweet manna all around.
Rise Up, O Men of God
Rise up, O men of God! Have done with lesser things.
Give heart and soul and mind and strength to serve the King of kings.
arr. T. Biddle
Rise up, O men of God! His kingdom tarries long;
Bring in the day of brotherhood and end the night of wrong.
.
Rise up, O men of God! The Church for you doth wait,
Her strength unequal to her task; rise up and make her great!
Lift high the cross of Christ! Tread where His feet have trod;
As brothers of the Son of Man, rise up, O men of God!

Call to Worship
* Doxology (Trinity Hymnal 731)
Old Hundredth
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow; praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heav’nly host; praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
* Confession
Have mercy on us, O God, according to Your unfailing love. According to Your great compassion, blot out our
transgressions. Wash away all our iniquity, and cleanse us from our sin. Against You, You only, have we sinned
and done what is evil in Your sight. Wash us, that we may be whiter than snow, for a broken and contrite heart,
O God, You will not despise. Restore us to fellowship with You, that we may walk in the full assurance of Your
promises, and in the freedom of knowing that You care for us and have brought us to Yourself by the death and
resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, in whose strong name we pray. Amen.

Come, thou fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it, mount of Thy redeeming love.
arr. J. Strong
Here I raise my Ebenezer, here by Thy great help I’ve come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger, interposed His precious blood.
O to grace how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to Thee:
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for Thy courts above.

Pamela Fay, viola
David Fay, double bass
Soli Deo Gloria is a motto that has been used since the time of the Protestant Reformation. It is the culminating phrase
of five “Solas” and means “Glory to God Alone.” Recognizing that all glory belongs to God and that we, even at our
best, are but instruments of His grace, is the true, Christian world-life view. Such was the perspective of the great
church musician Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750), who regularly began his compositional work, whether sacred
or secular, by writing “JJ” (Jesu, juva—“Jesus, help me”) on the first page of a manuscript and “sDg” at the end.
Since 1995 we have employed this phrase as the title of our fifteen-minute musical prelude to evening worship. SDG
affords musicians (singers and instrumentalists alike) the opportunity to give back to God from the gifts He has
given them. At the same time, the music is intended to encourage the congregation and to be a public testimony of
our desire as musicians to honor Him with our musical offerings. This even extends past vocal music with sacred text
to the untexted beauty of instrumental music, which can also be offered to the glory of God. Through the doctrine
of common grace, such music demonstrates for us not only the skill of the player, but also the creative genius with
which God has endowed so many composers, whether or not they were conscious of this gift or were intentional in
their use of it for His glory.

Question of Preparation (from the Heidelberg Catechism; congregation reads answer in unison)
Question 66: What are sacraments?
Answer: Sacraments are holy signs and seals for us to see. They were instituted by God so that by our use
of them he might make us understand more clearly the promise of the gospel, and might put his seal on that
promise. And this is God’s gospel promise: to forgive our sins and give us eternal life by grace alone because of
Christ’s one sacrifice finished on the cross.

Let Thy Blood in Mercy Poured
Let Thy blood in mercy poured, let Thy gracious body broken,
Be to me, O gracious Lord, of Thy boundless love the token.
Thou didst give Thyself for me, now I give myself to Thee.
J. Cruger
Thou didst die that I might live; blessed Lord, Thou camest to save me;
All that love of God could give, Jesus by His sorrows gave me.
Thou didst give Thyself for me, now I give myself to Thee.
Distribution of the cup
Soul, Adorn Yourself with Gladness
J. Cruger
Soul, adorn yourself with gladness, leave the gloomy haunts of sadness,
Come into the daylight’s splendor, there with joy your praises render.
Bless the One Whose grace unbounded this amazing banquet founded;
He, though heavenly, high, and holy, deigns to dwell with you most lowly.
Now in faith I humbly ponder over this surpassing wonder
That the bread of life is boundless though the souls it feeds are countless;
With the choicest wine of heaven Christ’s own blood to us is given.
Oh, most glorious consolation, pledge and seal of my salvation.

Answer: We are made partakers of the redemption purchased by Christ, by the effectual application of it to us by his
Holy Spirit.
PROJECT OF THE MONTH
Asia Minor Partnership
Imagine being a Christian pastor in a Muslim country. The government won’t recognize your job, so you have no
official “income” or credit history. You can’t buy a house, and landlords refuse to rent to you or they raise the rent
when they learn of your faith. This is the situation of the pastor of our sister church in the Middle East. His family
has had to move every two years and is being forced to do so again this fall. We at Tenth, as part of the Asia Minor
Partnership, are raising $80,000 to secure him a home. He daily risks his life for the gospel and needs our assistance.
To contribute, please make your check payable to Tenth Presbyterian Church with “October Project of the Month” on
the memo line and place it in the offering plate or the oak boxes at the Sanctuary entrances.
TENTH PRESS
OCTOBER 18, 2015
16th Annual Reformation Hymn Festival
By Colin Howland, Music Director and Organist
For the last 16 years Tenth Presbyterian Church has
devoted an evening at the end of October to celebrating
its Reformation heritage. Implicit in this is the notion
that spiritually and intellectually we humbly stand on
the shoulders of those who have come before us. This
echoes the Reformers’ passion concerning the belief
and practice of the Church; they wanted to stand on the
shoulders of the Apostles as understood by the early
Church Fathers. They rightly championed the concept
of Sola Scriptura, meaning the Scriptures alone are the
only rule of faith and practice. We welcome to our pulpit
for the evening Dr. R. Kent Hughes who will preach on
“Conscience and the Reformers.”
Sola Scriptura significantly influenced the reforms of
liturgy. Renewed emphasis was placed on the public
reading and singing of Scripture in the peoples’ language.
Interest in singing the Psalms was an inevitable result.
Since the Bible was to guide every aspect of worship,
and since prayer is an essential element of worship and
music a form of prayer, what better resource could be
available than the Psalms? John Calvin beautifully and
helpfully describes this in his preface to the Genevan
Psalter of 1543:
As to public prayers, there are two kinds: the one
consists of words alone; the other includes music. And
this is no recent invention. For since the very beginning
of the church it has been this way, as we may learn
from history books. Nor does St. Paul himself speak
only of prayer by word of mouth, but also of singing.
And in truth, we know from experience that song has
a great power and strength to move and inflame the
hearts of men to invoke and praise God with a heart
more vehement and ardent. One must always watch
lest the song be light and frivolous; rather, it should
have weight and majesty, as St. Augustine says. And
thus there is a great difference between the music that
is made to entertain people at home and at table, and
the Psalms which are sung in church, in the presence
of God and His angels…For even in our homes and out
of doors let it be a spur to us and a means of praising
God and lifting up our hearts to Him, so that we may
be consoled by meditating on His virtue, His bounty,
His wisdom, and His justice. For this is more necessary
than one can ever tell.
So what are we to do? We should have songs that are
not only upright but holy, that will spur us to pray to
God and praise Him, to meditate on His works so as to
love Him, to fear Him, to honour Him, and glorify Him.
For what St. Augustine said is true, that one can sing
nothing worthy of God save what one has received
from Him. Wherefore though we look far and wide
we will find no better songs nor songs more suitable
to that purpose than the Psalms of David, which the
Holy Spirit made and imparted to him. Thus, singing
them we may be sure that our words come from God
just as if He were to sing in us for His own exaltation.
Wherefore, Chrysostom exhorts men, women, and
children alike to get used to singing them, so as
through this act of meditation to become as one with
the choir of angels.
It is appropriate to say in today’s terms that as a result
of the Reformers’ work Psalm singing in churches literally
went “viral.” For example, Calvin’s Genevan Psalter
of 1562 was published in nearly 100 editions in many
languages in its first hundred years! With the help of
several gifted poets and composers, Calvin provided
poeticized translations of the Psalms set to new music.
This allowed for entire Psalms to be sung in strophic
verses with the same music for each verse, making the
entire Psalter easily accessible to congregations. The
early Psalters became the poetic and musical basis for
modern hymnody.
This year’s festival will explore the rich heritage
and variety of metrical Psalms, including settings for
congregational singing, children’s choir, brass, and adult
choir.

ABOUT TENTH
We are a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America
adhering to the authority of Scripture and confessing the doctrine
