* OPENING HYMN 139 Praise to the Lord, the Almighty LOVE DEN HERREN
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 thou 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! 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.
CALL TO PRAYER
We cannot come before God unless we are first honest with ourselves about who we are,
about the mistakes we make, and about how well or poorly we care for others.
In this spirit of reflection, let us offer our prayers to God.
CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER
O God, in mystery and silence you are present in our lives, bringing new life out of
destruction, hope out of despair, growth out of difficulty. We thank you that you do
not leave us alone, but labor to make us whole. Help us to perceive your unseen hand
in the unfolding of our lives, and to attend to the gentle guidance of your Spirit,
that we may know the joy you give your people. Amen.
