- Hymn 252 - I Walk in Danger All the Way: vv. 1-3

- 2 Corinthians 10: 3-5: For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

- Hymn 247 - To Jordan Came Our Lord, the Christ: vv. 1-3 & 7

- Matthew 3: 13-17: Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?” But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him. When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

- We Shall Draw Water Paul Inwood: Soloist: We shall draw water joyfully, singing joyfully, singing joyfully; We shall draw water joyfully from the wellsprings of salvation. All: We shall draw water… S: Truly God is our salvation; we trust, we shall not fear. For the Lord is our strength, the Lord is our song; he became our Savior. A: We shall… S: Give thanks, O give thanks to the Lord; give praise to his holy name! Make his mighty deeds known to all of the nations; proclaim his greatness. A: We shall… S: Sing a psalm to the Lord for he has done glorious deeds. Make known his works to all of the earth; people of Zion, sing for joy, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel. A: We shall draw water…

- Matthew 13: 18-23: “Therefore hear the parable of the sower: When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside. But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles. Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”

- Hymn 27 - O Holy Spirit, Enter in: vv. 1 & 2

- Psalm 1: Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper. The ungodly are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
