Calls to Worship
Psalm 100
Pastor: Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the
earth!
Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into His presence with
singing!
Know that the Lord, he is God!
People: It is He who made us, and we are His;
We are His people, and the sheep
of His pasture.
Pastor: Enter His gates with thanksgiving,
and His
courts with praise!
Give thanks to Him; bless His
name!
People: For the Lord is good;
His steadfast love endures
forever,
And His
faithfulness to all generations.
Revelation 4/Isaiah 6
Pastor: Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God
Almighty, who was and is and is to come!
People:
Worthy are you, our Lord and God to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.
Pastor: Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God
Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory!
People:
Our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Psalm 148
Pastor: Praise
the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens; praise him in
all the heights! Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all
his hosts!
Praise
him, sun and moon, praise him, all you shining stars!
Praise
him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens!
People: Let them praise
the name of the LORD! For he commanded and
they
were created. And he established them forever and ever; he
gave
a decree, and it shall not pass away.
Pastor: Praise
the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures and all
deeps, fire and hail, snow and mist, stormy wind fulfilling
his
word! Mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars!
Beasts and
all livestock, creeping things and all birds! Kings of the
earth and all
peoples, princes and all rulers of the earth! Young men and
maidens together, old men and children!
People: Let them praise
the name of the LORD, for his name alone is
exalted; his majesty is above earth and heaven. He has raised up a
horn
for his people, praise for all his saints, for the people of
All: Praise
the LORD!
Psalm 99
Pastor: The LORD reigns; let the peoples tremble! He
sits enthroned upon
the
cherubim; let the earth quake! The LORD is great in
exalted over all the peoples. Let
them praise your great and
awesome name! He is holy!
People: The King in his might loves justice. You have
established equity;
You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.
Exalt the
LORD
our God; worship at his footstool! He is holy!
Pastor:
Moses and Aaron were among his priests,
Samuel also was among
those who called upon his name.
They called to the LORD and he
answered them. In the pillar of
cloud he spoke to them; They kept his testimonies and
the statute that he gave them.
People: O LORD our God, you answered them; You were a forgiving God
to
them, But an avenger of their wrongdoings.
All: Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at
his holy mountain;
For the LORD our God is holy!
From Psalm 33
Pastor: Shout
for joy in the LORD, O you righteous! Praise befits the
upright. For the word of the LORD is upright, and all his
work is
done in faithfulness. By the word of the LORD the
heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their
host.
The
LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; he
frustrates the plans of the peoples. The counsel of the LORD
stands
forever, the plans of his heart to all generations.
People: Blessed
is the nation whose God is the LORD,
the people whom he has
chosen as his heritage!
Pastor: The LORD looks down from heaven; he sees all
the children of man;
from where he sits enthroned
he looks out on all the inhabitants of
the
earth, he who fashions the hearts of them all and observes all
their
deeds. Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him,
on those who hope in his
steadfast love, that he may deliver
their
soul from
death.
People: Our soul
waits for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. For
our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name.
Let
your steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us, even as we hope in you.
Psalm 118
Pastor: Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for
his steadfast love
endures forever! Let those
who fear the Lord say:
People: His steadfast love endures forever. The Lord is on my
side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?
Pastor: It is better to take refuge in the Lord than
to trust in man. It is better
to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in princes.
People: The Lord is my strength and my song; he has
become my
salvation. Open to me the gates of righteousness,
that I may enter
through them and give thanks
to the Lord.
Pastor: This is the gate of the Lord; the righteous
shall enter through it.
People: I thank you that you have answered me and have
become my
salvation.
Pastor: The stone that the builders rejected has
become the cornerstone.
This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our
eyes. This is the day
that the Lord has made; let
us rejoice and be glad in it.
People: Save us, we pray, O Lord! O Lord, we pray, give
us success!
Pastor: Blessed is he who comes in the name of the
Lord!
People: We bless you from the house of the Lord.
Pastor: The Lord is God, and he has made his light to
shine upon us.
People: You are my God, and I will give thanks to you;
you are my God; I
will extol you.
Pastor: Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his steadfast love
endures forever!
