“Lift Up Your Heads” Hymn 213

Call to Worship: Psalm 138:1-5
I will praise You, LORD, with all my heart;
before the “gods” I will sing Your praise.
I will bow down toward Your holy temple and will praise Your name
for Your unfailing love and Your faithfulness,
for You have so exalted Your solemn decree
that it surpasses Your fame.
When I called, You answered me;
You greatly emboldened me.
May all the kings of the earth praise You, LORD,
when they hear what You have decreed.
May they sing of the ways of the LORD,
for the glory of the LORD is great.

Congregational Prayer:
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In
His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and
into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil, or fade.
Amen.
