CALL TO WORSHIP
*HYMN 139 Praise to the Lord, the Almighty+
1. Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise him, for he is thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear, now to his temple draw near;
join me in glad adoration!
2. Praise to the Lord, who o’er all things so wondrously reigning
bears thee on eagle’s wings, e’er in his keeping maintaining.
God’s care enfolds all, whose true good he upholds.
Hast though not known his sustaining?
3 Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee;
surely his goodness and mercy here daily attend thee.
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do,
who with his love doth befriend thee.
4 Praise to the Lord, who doth nourish thy life and restore thee,
fitting thee well for the tasks that are ever before thee.
Then to thy need God as a mother doth speed,
spreading the wings of grace o’er thee.
5 Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore him!
All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before him.
Let the amen sound from his people again;
gladly forever adore him.

PRAYER
*PRAISE AND WORSHIP
I Will Enter His Gates (Sing twice)
I will enter his gates with thanksgiving in my heart
I will enter his courts with praise
I will say this is the day that the Lord has made
I will rejoice for he has made me glad
He has made me glad, he has made me glad
I will rejoice for he has made me glad
He has made me glad, he has made me glad
I will rejoice for he has made me glad
Come bless the Lord (Sing twice)
Come bless the Lord,
All ye servants of the Lord,
who stand by night in the house of the Lord;
Lift up your hands in the holy place,
come bless the Lord, come bless the Lord.
Search Me, O God (Sing twice)
Search me, O God, and know my heart today;
try me, O Lord, know my thoughts, I pray.
See if there be some wicked way in me;
cleanse me from every sin and set me free.
How Great Is Our God (Sing twice)
How Great is our God, how great is His name.
He’s the greatest one, forever the same.
He rolled back the waters of the mighty Red Sea,
He said, “I’ll never leave you, put your trust in Me.”

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.

*HYMN OF SENDING FORTH 102 Now Thank We All Our God+
1 Now thank we all our God,
with heart and hands and voices,
who wondrous things has done,
in whom this world rejoices;
who, from our mothers' arms
hath blessed us on our way
with countless gifts of love,
and still is ours today.
2 O may this bounteous God
through all our life be near us,
with ever joyful hearts
and blessed peace to cheer us,
and keep us still in grace,
and guide us when perplexed,
and free us from all ills,
in this world and the next.
3. All praise and thanks to God
the Father now be given;
the Son, and him who reigns,
with them in highest heaven;
the one eternal God,
whom earth and heaven adore;
for thus it was, is now,
and shall be evermore.
