CALL TO WORSHIP
Matthew 2:1-2
* HYMN NO. 63
As With Gladness Men of Old
Verses 1-3
* PSALM 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me
beside still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy
rod and Thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the
days of my life: And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Amen.
