Opening Psalm Psalm 92

*Call to Worship

One: It is good to give thanks to the Lord,

to sing praise to God Most High;

o declare God’s steadfast love in the morning

and God’s faithfulness at nighttime.

All: Those who are planted in the house of the Lord flourish;

no matter their age, they bear fruit

and remain lush and fresh, proclaiming:

The Lord is righteous! God is my rock!

*Hymn “Hail to the Lord’s Anointed” #203

Open our eyes Lord, we want to see Jesus,

Open our ears Lord, and help us to listen.

Open our eyes Lord, we want to see Jesus.
