Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation; O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation; All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near; Joining in glad adoration. Praise to the Lord, Who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth, Shieldeth thee gently from harm, or when fainting sustaineth; Hast thou not seen, how thy heart’s wishes have been Granted in what He ordaineth? Praise to the Lord, Who doth prosper thy work and defend thee, Surely His goodness and mercy shall daily attend thee; Ponder anew, what the Almighty can do, If to the end He befriend thee.
“Ode To Joy” Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of love Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee, opening to the sun above Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; drive the dark of doubt away Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day! Thou art giving and forgiving, ever blessing, ever blessed Wellspring of the joy of living, ocean depth of happy rest Thou our Father, Christ our Brother, all who live in love are Thine Teach us how to love each other, lift us to the joy divine. Mortals, join the happy chorus, which the morning stars began Father love is reigning o'er us, brother love binds man to man Ever singing, march we onward, victors in the midst of strife Joyful music leads us Sunward in the triumph song of life.
A Special Thank You... To everyone who made this day such a great success. So as not to forget to mention any one particular person, we chose to forego the customary “Acknowledgement List.” Please be assured that we appreciate every effort made by all our family members and friends. Thanks be to God, AMEN!
