MORNING HYMN Father, we praise you, now the night is over, Active and watchful, standing now before you.

Singing, we offer prayer and meditation; Thus we adore you.

Monarch of all things, fit us for your mansions; Banish our weakness, health and wholeness sending.

Bring us to heaven, where your saints united Joy without ending.

All holy Father, Son, and equal Spirit, Trini ty blessed, send us your salva tion.

Yours is the glory, gleaming and resounding Through all creation.

STAND

0 Lord, open my lips.

And my mouth shall declare your praise.

M: Hasten to save me, 0 God. C: 0 Lord, come quickly to help me.

M: C:

Praise be to God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit: let us worship him.

Oh, come, let us sing to the Lord, let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.

Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving, let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise.

For the Lord is a great God and a great king above all gods.

The deep places of the earth are in his hand;

the heights of the hills are also his.

The sea is his, for he made it, and his hand formed the dry land.

Oh, come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord our maker.

For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.

Out of the <!,epths I cry to you, 0 LoRD;* 0 Lord, hear my voice.

Let your ears be attentive• to my cry for mercy.

But with you there is forgiveness;• therefore you are feared.

Refrain

I wait for the LoRO and in his Word I put my hope*.

My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning.

LESSON

M:

Rev. 21

Give thanks to the Lord; call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done.

HYMN9

Jesus, your Church with longing eyes For your expected coming waits.

When will the promised light arise And glory berun from heaven's gates?

E 'en now, when tempests round us fall And wintry clouds o'ercast the sky, Your words with pleasure we recall And know that our redemption's nigh.

Come, gracious Lord, our hearts renew, Our sins forgive, our foes suppress, Our rooted enmity subdue, And crown your gospel with success.

Oh, come and reign o'er ev'ry land; Let Satan from his throne be hurled.

Let nations bow to your command; Let grace revive a dying world.

Teach us in watchfulness and prayer To wait for your appointed hour, And fit us by your grace to share The triumphs of your conqu'ring pow'r.

Rev. 22:12-17, 20 Come, Lord Jesus!
