Leader: “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein, People: for he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers. Leader: Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in his holy place? People: He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false and does not swear deceitfully. Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob.
Ride on, King Jesus. Ride on in majesty. Ride on, King Jesus. Ride on. You have come to set us free. He is the King of kings. He is the Lord of lords. Jesus Christ, the First and Last; There is none like Him. Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. Jesus Christ, the King of kings! Ride on!
Leader: Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. People: Who is this King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in battle! Leader: Lift up your heads, O gates! And lift them up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. All: Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory! Selah”
Pastoral Prayer & The Lord’s 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 this day our daily bread, And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors, And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
