Psalm 134 A Blue Psalter, pg 874

Come, All You Servants of the Lord
1. Come, all you servants of the Lord,
who work and pray by night, by day.

Come, bless the Lord within this place;

with lifted hands your homage pay.

and shine on you with radiant face;

The Lord who heaven and earth has made

illuminate you with peace and grace.

When Brothers Dwell in Unity

¹ Behold, how good and pleasant it is
when brothers dwell in unity!

² It is like the precious oil on the head,
running down on the beard,
on the beard of Aaron,
running down on the collar of his robes!

³ It is like the dew of Hermon,
which falls on the mountains of Zion!
For there the Lord has commanded the blessing,
life forevermore.

Prayer of Invocation

Psalm 133 A                                                             Blue Psalter, pg 869

Behold the Goodness of Our Lord

Behold the goodness of our Lord, How blest it is to be

A company of God’s beloved, In holy unity

Like precious oil upon the head, A healing for our strife,

It flows throughout our common bond, Refreshing all of life.

As dew on Zion’s mountaintop Brings freshness to its door,

Our Lord commands this in our midst And brings life evermore.

Declaring What We Believe:

The Apostle’s Creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.

Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord;

Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the virgin Mary;

Suffered under Pontius Pilate;

Was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell;

The third day He rose again from the dead;

He ascended into heaven,

And sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;

From whence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost;

The holy universal church; The communion of saints;

The forgiveness of sins; The resurrection of the body;

And the life everlasting. Amen.

We Respond to God’s Presence

Psalm 145 G                                                             Blue Psalter, pg 952

We Will Extoll You, God and King
1. We will extol you, God and King, and bless your holy name.
Day after day we’ll sing your praise, forever and forever.

Chorus: One generation will call to the next:

“Our God is good and his hand is strong!”

All of the world sings his marvelous acts

And our voice will join with theirs in the song.
1. Great is the Lord! In all his ways he’s greatly to be praised.
Were we to search for endless days, his greatness none could fathom.

(repeat chorus)
1. We contemplate the splendor of the world your hand has made.
Far greater still the majesty we see in the Creator!

(repeat chorus)
1. Now may your name be sung in every tongue in every place.
Singing the fame of your great love in ev’ry generation.

(repeat chorus)

Red Hymnal #337

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty

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.

Praise to the Lord, who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth,

Shelters thee under His wings, yea, so gently sustaineth!

Hast thou not seen how all thy longings have been

Granted in what He ordaineth?

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,

If with His love He befriend thee.

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 for aye* we adore Him.

*aye = forever. (Public Domain. Words: Joachim Neander)

Hear the Call of the Kingdom

Hear the call of the kingdom, lift your eyes to the King,

Let His song rise within you as a fragrant offering

Of how God rich in mercy came in Christ to redeem

All who trust in His unfailing grace

Hear the call of the Kingdom to be children of light

With the mercy of heaven the humility of Christ

Walking justly before Him, loving all that is right

That the life of Christ may shine through us

Refrain: King of Heaven we will answer the call

We will follow bringing hope to the world

Filled with passion filled with power to proclaim

Salvation in Jesus’ name

Hear the call of the Kingdom to reach out to the lost

With the Father’s compassion in the wonder of the cross

Bringing peace and forgiveness and a hope yet to come

Let the nations put their trust in Him
