Call To Worship: Psalm 111
Praise the LORD!
I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart,
In the company of the upright and in the assembly.
Great are the works of the LORD;
They are studied by all who delight in them.
Splendid and majestic is His work,
And His righteousness endures forever.
He has made His wonders to be remembered; The LORD is gracious and compassionate.
He has given food to those who fear Him; He will remember His covenant forever.
He has made known to His people the power of His works, In giving them the heritage of the nations.
The works of His hands are truth and justice; All His precepts are sure.
They are upheld forever and ever;
They are performed in truth and uprightness.
He has sent redemption to His people; He has ordained His covenant forever; Holy and awesome is His name.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments;
His praise endures forever.
Classic Prayer: John Calvin
Grant, Almighty God, that as you have once adopted us, and you continue to confirm your favor by calling us unceasingly to yourself, and do not only chastise us, but also gently and paternally invite us to yourself, and exhort us at the same time to repentance…0 grant that we may not be so hardened as to resist your goodness, nor abuse this your incredible forbearance, but submit ourselves in obedience to you; that whenever you may severely chastise us, we may bear your corrections with genuine submission of faith, and not continue un-tameable and obstinate to the last, but return to you, the only fountain of life and salvation, that as you have once begun in us a good work, so you will perfect it to the day of our Lord. Amen.
