Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
What shall be given unto thee?
or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.”

 Scripture Reading: Psalm 97

“The Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof. Clouds and
darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.
A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about. His lightnings enlightened
the world: the earth saw, and trembled. The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. The heavens declare his righteousness, and
all the people see his glory. Confounded be all they that serve graven images,
that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods. Zion heard, and was glad; and the
daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O Lord. For thou, Lord, art high
above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods. Ye that love the Lord, hate evil: he
preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. Light is
sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. Rejoice in the Lord, ye
righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.”
I Sing the Mighty Power of God/How Great Thou Art
Lyrics: Isaac Watts/Carl Boberg, trans. by Stuart K. Hine
Music: Gesangbuch der Herzogl/ Swedish Music arr. by Manna Music, Inc.
 I sing the mighty pow’r of God that made the mountains rise
That spread the flowing seas abroad and built the lofty skies.
I sing the wisdom that ordained the sun to rule the day;
The moon shines full at His command, and all the stars obey.
 
I sing the goodness of the Lord that filled the earth with food;
He formed the creatures with His word
and then pronounced them good.
Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed wherever I turn my eye:
If I survey the ground I tread or gaze upon the sky!
O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made,
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy pow’r thru out the universe displayed!
 
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
 When thru the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees,
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze
 
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

There is not a plant or flower below that makes Thy glories known;
And clouds arise and tempests blow by order from Thy throne;
While all that borrows life from Thee is ever in Thy care,
And everywhere that man can be, Thou, God, art present there .
 Scripture Reading: Isaiah 6 : 1-5

“In the year that king Uzziah died

I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne,
high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings;
with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet,
and with twain he did fly.
And one cried unto another,
and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts:
the whole earth is full of his glory.
And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried,
and the house was filled with smoke.
Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone;
because I am a man of unclean lips,
and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips:
for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.”
Holy, Holy, Holy
Lyrics: Reginald Heber
Music: John B. Dykes
 Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, Holy, Holy! Merciful and Mighty!
God in Three Persons, blessed Trinity!
 
Holy, Holy, Holy! All the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Which wert and art and evermore shalt be.
 Holy, Holy, Holy! Tho the darkness hide Thee,
Tho the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see;
Only Thou art holy—there is none beside Thee
Perfect in power, in love and purity.
 
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy name in earth and sky and sea;
Holy, Holy, Holy! Merciful and Mighty!
God in Three Persons, blessed Trinity!

Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
For strangers are risen up against me,
and oppressors seek after my soul:
they have not set God before them. Selah.
Behold, God is mine helper:
the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
I will freely sacrifice unto thee:
I will praise thy name, O Lord; for it is good.
For he hath delivered me out of all trouble:
and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.”

 Scripture Reading: Psalm 66 : 8 -16

“O bless our God, ye people,

and make the voice of his praise to be heard:
Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.
For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.
Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads;
we went through fire and through water:
but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,
Which my lips have uttered,
and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.
I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings,
with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
Come and hear, all ye that fear God,
and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.”
 Come, Thou Fount
Lyrics: Robert Robinson
Music: John Wyeth, arr. by Norman Johnson
Come, Thou Fount of ev’ry blessing, tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet sung by flaming tongues above;
Praise the mount—I’m fixed upon it—Mount of Thy redeeming love.
 
Here I raise my Ebenezer—hither by Thy help I’m come;
And I hope by Thy good pleasure safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger wand’ring from the fold of God;
He to rescue me from danger interposed His precious blood.
 
O to grace how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness like a fetter bind my wand’ring heart to Thee:
Prone to wander-Lord, I feel it—prone to leave the God I love;
 Scripture Reading: Psalm 128

“Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways.
For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands:
happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house:
thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.
The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion:
and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.”
 The God of Abraham Praise
Lyrics: Thomas Olivers
Music: From a Hebrew melody arr. by Meyer Lyon
 
The God of Abraham praise, Who reigns enthroned above,
Ancient of everlasting days, and God of love.
Jehovah, great I AM, by earth and heav’nly confessed,
I bow and bless the sacred Name forever blest.
 
The God of Abraham praise, at whose supreme command
From earth I rise and seek the joys at His right hand.
I all on earth forsake, its wisdom, fame and pow’r,
And Him my only portion make, my shield and tow’r.
 
The whole triumphant host give thanks to God on high;
“Hail, Father, Son and Holy Ghost!” they ever cry.
Hail, Abraham’s God and mine! I join the heav’nly lays;
All might and majesty are Thine, and endless praise.
 Scripture Reading: Psalm 103

“Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy
[Link] the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; who
redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with
lovingkindness and tender mercies; who satisfieth thy mouth with
good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are
oppressed. He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto
the children of Israel.
The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous
in mercy. He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger
for ever. He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us
according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the
earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as
the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our
transgressions from us. Like as a father pitieth his children,
so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
As for man, his days are as grass:
as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone;
and the place thereof shall know it no more.
But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting
upon them that fear him,
and his righteousness unto children's children;
To such as keep his covenant,
and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens;
and his kingdom ruleth over all.
Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength,
that do his commandments,
hearkening unto the voice of his word.
Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD,
O my soul.”
Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven
Lyrics: Based on Psalm 103, Henry F. Lyle
Music: John Goss
 Praise, my soul, the King of heaven, to his feet thy tribute bring;
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
who, like me, his praise should sing?
Praise him! Praise him! Praise him! Praise him!
Praise the everlasting King!
 
Praise him for his grace and favor to our fathers in distress;
Praise him, still the same forever, slow to chide, and swift to bless.
Praise him! Praise him! Praise him! Praise him!
Glorious in his faithfulness!
Father-like he tends and spares us; well our feeble frame he knows;
In his hands he gently bears us, rescues us from all our foes.
Praise him! Praise him! Praise him! Praise him!
Widely as his mercy flows!
 
Angels, help us to adore him, ye behold him face to face;
Sun and moon, bow down before him;
dwellers all in time and space,
Praise him! Praise him! Praise him! Praise him!
Praise with us the God of grace! Amen.
 Scripture Reading: Psalm 145 : 1 - 7

“I will extol thee, my God, O king;

and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
Every day will I bless thee;
and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
and his greatness is unsearchable.
One generation shall praise thy works to another,
and shall declare thy mighty acts.
I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty,
and of thy wondrous works.
And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts:
and I will declare thy greatness.
They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness,
and shall sing of thy righteousness.”
O Worship the King
Lyrics: Robert Grant
Music: Arr. from J. Michael Haydn
 O worship the King, all glorious above
And gratefully sing His pow’r and His love;
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.
 
O tell of His might, O sing of His grace,
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space;
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.
 
Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;
Thy mercies how tender! How firm to the end!
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer and Friend.
 Scripture Reading: Psalm 150

“Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary:

praise him in the firmament of his power.
Praise him for his mighty acts:
praise him according to his excellent greatness.
Praise him with the sound of the trumpet:
praise him with the psaltery and harp.
Praise him with the timbrel and dance:
praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
Praise him upon the loud cymbals:
praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord.
Praise ye the Lord.”
 Blessed Be the Name
Lyrics: W. H. Clark, Chorus by Ralph E. Hudson
Music: Ralph E. Hudson, arr. by William J. Kirkpatrick
 
 All praise to Him who reigns above in majesty supreme,
Who gave His Son for man to dies, that He might man redeem!  
Chorus:
Blessed be the name, blessed be the name,
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
Blessed be the name, blessed be the name,
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
 
His name above all names shall stand exalted more and more,
At God the Father’s own right hand, where angel-hosts adore.
 
Redeemer, Savior, Friend of man once ruined by the fall,
Thou hast devised salvation’s plan, for Thou hast died for all.
 
His name shall be the Counselor, the mighty Prince of Peace,
Of all earth’s kingdoms Conqueror, whose reign shall never cease.
 Scripture Reading: Psalm 23

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.”
 Surely Goodness and Mercy
Lyrics and Music: John W. Peterson and Alfred B. Smith
 A pilgrim was I, and a wand’ring,
In the cold night of sin I did roam,
When Jesus the kind Shepherd found me,
And now I am on my way home.
 
Chorus:
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days, all the days of my life;
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days, all the days of my life.
 
He restoreth my soul when I am weary,
He giveth me strength day by day;
He leads me beside the still waters,
He guards me each step of the way.
 
 When I walk thru the dark lonesome valley,
My Savior will walk with me there;
And safely His great hand will lead me
To the mansions he is gone to prepare.
Chorus:
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days, all the days of my life;
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days, all the days of my life.
Coda:
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever,
And I shall feast at the table spread for me;
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days, all the days of my life,
All the days, all the days of my life.
