Call to Worship Leader: I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the Lord!" Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem! Congregation: For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness. Leader: Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek thy good. Congregation: Those that be planted in the house of the Lord, shall flourish in the courts of our God. Leader: Blessed are they that dwell in thy house. Lord, I have loved thy habitation, the place where thy honor dwelleth. Congregation: But the Lord is in his holy temple, let all the earth keep silence before him. Leader: Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Congregation: O sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things! Make a joyful noise unto the Lord. All the Earth will sing God’s praises.
Morning Hymn
Jesus, I’ll Never Forget
1) Jesus, I'll never forget what you've done for me.
2) How can I forget what you've done for me.
Jesus I'll never forget how you've set me free.
How can I forget how you've set me free.
How can I forget how you've brought me out.
Jesus I'll never forget how you've brought me out.
Jesus I'll never forget, no never.
Jesus I'll never forget, no never.
Invocation Scripture
Introit to the Decalogue “From all that dwells below the skies, Let Thy Creator’s praise arise, Let Thy Redeemer’s Name be sung, Through every land by every tongue.” Summary of the Decalogue Leader: Hear what Christ our Savior saith. Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it: Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments, hang all the law and the prophets. Gloria Patri “Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be, world without end. AMEN.”
