When my life is almost gone,
Hear my cry, hear my call,
Hold my hand lest I fall:
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.

And the night draws near,
And the day is past and gone,
At the river I stand,
Guide my feet, hold my hand:
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.

PRAYER OF INTERCESSION and THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name; Thy kingdom come;
Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven:
Give us this day our daily bread;
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory,
For ever and ever. Amen.
SERMON Testing God’s Support Pastor David Range
HYMN OF SENDING FORTH 522 Leave It There+
1 If the world from you withhold of its silver and its gold,
and you have to get along with meager fare,
just remember, in his Word, how he feeds the little bird,
take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
Leave it there, leave it there,
take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
If you trust and never doubt, he will surely bring you out;
take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
2 If your body suffers pain, and your health you can’t regain,
and your soul is almost sinking in despair,
Jesus knows the pain you feel, he can save and he can heal,
take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
Leave it there, leave it there,
take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
If you trust and never doubt, he will surely bring you out;
take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
3 When your enemies assail, and your heart begins to fail,
don’t forget that God in heaven answers prayer;
he will make a way for you, and will lead you safely through,
take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
Leave it there, leave it there,
take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
If you trust and never doubt, he will surely bring you out;
take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
4 When your youthful days are done and old age is stealing on,
and your body bends beneath the weight of care,
he will never leave you then, he’ll go with you to the end,
take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
Leave it there, leave it there,
take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
If you trust and never doubt, he will surely bring you out;
take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
