NTROIT How Marvelous is the Power of God Joseph Haydn; arr. by Katherine Davis How marvelous, how marvelous is the power of God, of God who made the earth and heaven. How wondrous are His works and ways, O let us sing, O let us sing His everlasting praise, His everlasting praise. How wondrous are His works and ways. O let us sing, O let us sing His everlasting praise, His everlasting praise. The sun and moon with glowing light and all the shining stars of night proclaim in endless round their great creator’s might, their great creator’s might. How marvelous is the power of God, our God who made the earth and heaven. Let all unite with joyful song, His holy name adore. O praise the Lord, O praise the Lord, and all His wondrous works, which are forevermore. O sing, O sing, O sing unto the Lord, and all His wondrous works, which are forevermore!
One: The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Many: And also with you!
