 Call to Worship

 Minister: I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord, our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

 People: For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

 Minister: Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.

 People: Those that be planted in the house of the Lord, shall flourish in the courts of our God. 

 Minister: Blessed are they that dwell in thy house. Lord, I have loved Your habitation, the place where Your honor dwelleth.

 People: For the Lord is in His holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before Him.

 Minister: Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my Redeemer.

 People: O sing unto the Lord a new song, for He has done marvelous things. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth, sing praises.
