It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the
LORD bestows His blessing, even life forevermore.
People: Praise the LORD, all you servants of the LORD who minister by night
in the house of the LORD.

William Lullo, Pianist
Crown Him the Lord of life: Who triumphed o’er the grave,
Who rose victorious to the strife For those He came to save;

Who died eternal life to bring, And lives that death may die.

Crown Him With Many Crowns
Crown Him the Lord of love: Behold His hands and side,
Rich wounds, yet visible above, In beauty glorified;
No angel in the sky Can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends His wondering eye At mysteries so bright.

Lord’s Prayer
11am ORDER OF WORSHIP

All People That On Earth Do Dwell
All people that on earth do dwell, Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice!
Him serve with fear, His praise forth tell. Come ye before Him and rejoice! Rejoice!
O enter then His gates with praise. Approach with joy His courts unto.
Praise, laud, and bless His name always, For it is seemly so to do.
For why? The Lord our God is good. His mercy is forever sure.
His truth at all times firmly stood, And shall from age to age endure.

Take my feet and let them be swift and beautiful for Thee;

Always, only, for my King.
Take my lips and let them be filled with messages for Thee;
Take my silver and my gold, not a mite would I withhold,
Not a mite would I withhold.
Take my love, my God; I pour at Thy feet its treasure store;
Take myself and I will be ever, only, all for Thee,
Ever, only, all for Thee.
