“Yet I will rejoice in the LORD” | Sunday 10th

CALL TO WORSHIP

PSALM 97:5-12  |  Sing Psalms  |  Rockingham)
Hills melt like wax before the LORD,
Before the Lord of all the earth.
The heav’ns proclaim his righteousness;
All peoples see his glorious worth.

All those who worship images
Are put to everlasting shame;
Their worthless idols are their boast--
You gods, bow down before his name!

To Zion hill and Judah’s towns
Your judgments, LORD, great joy supply.
Above the earth and all the gods
Exalted is the LORD Most High.

Hate evil, you who love the LORD;
His faithful ones he will defend,
And from the hands of wicked men
To them deliv’rance he will send.

Upon the righteous light will shine,
And joy on those of upright ways.
You righteous, in the LORD rejoice,
And to his holy name give praise.

PRAYER

PSALM 105: 1-11  |  Sing Psalms
Give thanks to the LORD God and call on his name;
His wonderful deeds to the nations proclaim.
Sing praises to him, and his exploits record;
Let all those who seek him rejoice in the LORD.

You chosen ones, look to the LORD and his might;
Seek ever his face, and his wonders recite,
His miracles too, and his judgments divine--
You children of Abraham, Jacob’s own line.

The LORD is our God, and he rules all the earth.
Rememb’ring his cov’nant—the word he set forth--
He vowed, for the ages to come, to make good
His promise to Abr’ham, to Isaac renewed.

To Jacob his sov’reign decree was made sure;
With Isr’el his cov’nant would always endure:
​“To you I will give, as your portion to stand,
The country of Canaan, the beautiful land.”
