WORSHIP SERVICES

Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;

let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.

Let us come before God with thanksgiving

and extol the Lord with music and song.

The Lord has made a covenant with the flock

To bring them into rich pasture,

To rid the land of savage beasts,

To send showers in season,

To bind up the injured and strengthen the weak,

To shepherd the flock with justice.

Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;
for this is our God and we are the people of God’s pasture.

Come and see what God has done:
God is awesome in deeds for humankind.
God turned the sea into dry land;
They passed through the river on foot.

Bless our God, O peoples,
Let the sound of God’s praise be heard,
Who has kept us among the living and has not let our feet slip.
For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried.

Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what God has done for me.
I cried aloud to God, and God was extolled with my tongue.
Truly God has listened; God has given heed to the words of my prayer.

Blessed be God, because God has not rejected my prayer or removed God’s steadfast love from me.

O sing to the Lord a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Sing to the Lord, bless God’s name;
tell of God’s salvation from day to day.
Declare God’s glory among the nations,
God’s marvelous works among all the peoples.
 Worship the Lord in holy splendor;
tremble in God’s presence, all the earth.

Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!
The world is firmly established; it shall never be moved.
God will judge the peoples with equity.”
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
let the sea roar, and all that fills it; let the field exult, and everything in it.
Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy
before the Lord; for God is coming,
God is coming to rule the earth.
– to rule the world with righteousness,
and the peoples with truth!
