CALL TO WORSHIP

HYMN OF PRAISE -No. 1 -Holy God, we praise Your name

1.Holy God, we praise your name; 3. Lo, the apostolic train Lord of all, we bow before you. Join your sacred name to hallow; All on earth your scepter claim, Prophets swell the glad refrain, All in heaven above adore you. And the white robed martyrs follow Infinite your vast domain, And from morn to set of sun Everlasting is your reign. Through the Church the song goes on. 2, Hark! The glad celestial hymn 4. Holy Father, holy Son, Angel choirs above are raising; Holy Spirit, three we name you Cherubim and seraphim, Though in essence only one In unceasing chorus praising, Undivided God we claim you Fill the heavens with sweet accord: And, adoring, bend the knee "Holy, holy, holy Lord!" While we praise the mystery

[Brief Period of Silence]

[Sung Prayerfully]

Hear my cry O Lord, attend unto my prayer For Thou hast been, a shelter for me.

From the end of the earth, will I cry unto you And a strong tower, from the enemy

When my heart is overwhelmed When my heart is overwhelmed

Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I, Lead me to the Rock, that is higher than I

That is higher than I. That is higher than I.
