* THE DOXOLOGY*…“ Praise God”... Hymn # 647
*THE CALL TO DIVINE WORSHIP
Minister: I was glad when they said to me, let us go
into the house of the Lord, our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
People: For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
Minister: Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.
People: Those that be planted in the house of the
Lord, shall flourish in the courts of our God.
Minister: Blessed are they that dwell in thy house. Lord, I have loved thy habitation, the place where thy honor dwelleth.
People: For the Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before him.
Minister: Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight. O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.
People: O sing unto the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth, sing praises.
*WORSHIP THROUGH SONG - THE CONGREGATION AND THE UNITY CHOIR
- Opening Hymn - #571 "Lift Every Voice and Sing"
1. Lift every voice and sing
Till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the listening skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us,
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun
Let us march on till victory is won.
2. Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chastening rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died; Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears have been watered,
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past,
Till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast
3. God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who has brought us thus far on the way; Thou who has by Thy might
Led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, Our God, where we met Thee;
Lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee;
Shadowed beneath Thy hand,
May we forever stand.
True to our GOD, True to our native land.
