PSALTER READING Psalm 103 p. 821

ANTHEM The Morning Trumpet arr. LeDoux Oh when shall I see Jesus, and reign with him above,

And shall hear the trumpet sound in that morning?

And from the flowing fountain, drink everlasting love,

And shall hear the trumpet sound in that morning?

Shout, “Glory, glory, glory!” I shall rise above the skies,

When I hear the trumpet sound in that morning.

Shout, “Glory, glory, glory!” I shall rise above the skies,

When I hear the trumpet sound in that morning.

When shall I be delivered from this vain world of sin,

and shall hear the trumpet sound in that morning?

And with my blessed Jesus drink endless pleasures in,

And shall hear the trumpet sound in that morning.

Shout, “Glory, glory, glory!” I shall rise above the skies,

When I hear the trumpet sound in that morning.

Shout, “Glory, glory, glory!” I shall rise above the skies,

When I hear the trumpet sound in that morning.

Hear the trumpet sound, can’t you hear the trumpet sound?

Through grace I feel determined to conquer, tho’ I die,

And shall hear the trumpet sound in that morning.

And then away to Jesus on wings of love I’ll fly,

And shall hear the trumpet sound in that morning.

Shout, “Glory, glory, glory!” I shall rise above the skies,

When I hear the trumpet sound in that morning.

Shout, “Glory, glory, glory!” I shall rise above the skies,

When I hear the trumpet sound, when I hear the trumpet sound,

When I hear the trumpet sound in that morning.

Hear the trumpet sound!

All those who have received Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord and who are members in good standing in an evangelical church are invited to partake of this special means of grace. Children who have not been received by the elders as communing members should not partake, but learn by reverent observation, even though they may have trusted Christ for salvation. If you are aware that you have not received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, you should allow the elements to pass, and you are urged to repent of your sin and embrace the free offer of salvation in Christ by faith.

Founded in 1850, Midway Church is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), a

Reformed, evangelical denomination organized in 1973. Our church seeks to be Scriptural in both its

government and its doctrine. We believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, our infallible and

divine authority in all matters of life and faith.

“Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.”
