Prelude - Lucy Bahmer "Alleluia"

Leader: I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord!”

People: Let us go to the house of the Lord!

Leader: Our feet are standing within your gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem—built as a city that is

bound firmly together.

People: We are standing in your presence, God!

Leader: We seek your peace here, God.

People: For the sake of my relatives and friends I will say, “Peace be within you.”

Leader: Peace be within you!

People: And also within you!

Lords Prayer

Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

The Joy of Going to the House of the Lord

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

122 

I was glad when they said to me,

“Let us go into the house of the Lord.”

2 

Our feet have been standing

Within your gates, O Jerusalem!

3 

Jerusalem is built

As a city that is compact together,

4 

Where the tribes go up,

The tribes of the Lord,

[a]To the Testimony of Israel,

To give thanks to the name of the Lord.

5 

For thrones are set there for judgment,

The thrones of the house of David.

6 

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:

“May they prosper who love you.

7 

Peace be within your walls,

Prosperity within your palaces.”

8 

For the sake of my brethren and companions,

I will now say, “Peace be within you.”

9 

Because of the house of the Lord our God

I will seek your good.

Doxology

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heav’nly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
