Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him all creatures here below
Praise Him above, ye heavenly hosts
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen
*Call to Worship
WORSHIP LEADER: I was glad when they said unto me, let us go in to the house of the Lord, Our Feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem
CONGREGATION: For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek thy good.
Those that be planted in house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house, Lord, I have loved thy habitation, the place where thy honor dwellers.
For the Lord is in his holy temple, let all the earth keep silence before him.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.
O sing unto the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth and sing his praises.

Scripture
*From all that dwells
From all that dwells below the skies
Let the Creator’s praise arise
Let the Redeemer’s name be sung
Through every land by every tongue
*Abridged Decalogue
WORSHIP LEADER: And God spake all these words saying, “I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou should have not other God before me.”
Lord have mercy upon us and incline our hearts to keep this law
Nearer my God to thee! Nearer to thee
Even though it be a cross that raiseth me
Still all my song shall be nearer my God to thee
Nearer my God to thee. Nearer to thee
WORSHIP 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 greatest 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
