Invitation to Prayer “Close Every Door” from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat Tim Rice 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.

Offering Our Gifts His Voice Larry L. Fleming His voice as the sound of the dulcimer sweet, Is heard thru’ the shadows of death. The cedars of Lebanon bow at his feet, The air is perfumed with His breath. His lips as the fountain of righteousness flow, That waters the garden of grace, From which their salvation the people shall know, And bask in the smile of His face. Love sits in His eyelids and scatters delight Through all the bright regions on high. Their faces the Cherubim veil in His sight And tremble with fullness of joy. He looks and ten thousand of angels rejoice, And myriads wait for His word. He speaks and eternity filled with His voice, Reechoes the praise of her Lord. His voice as the sound of the dulcimer sweet, Is heard thru’ the shadows of death. The cedars of Lebanon bow at his feet, The air is perfumed with His breath. Oh, Thou in whose presence my soul takes delight, On whom in affliction I call, My comfort by day and my song in the night, My Hope, my salvation, my all.
