Please stand. O come, let us sing to the

02:56

Lord. Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving.

03:05

Let us shout joyfully to him with songs. For the Lord is the great

03:11

God and the great King above all gods. In his hand are the deep places of the earth.

03:19

The heights of the hills are his also. The sea is his for he made it.

03:25

And his hands formed the dry land. O come, let us worship and bow down.

03:33

Let us kneel before the Lord, our maker, for he is our God. We are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.

03:44

Please pray with me. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we joyfully enter into your presence, heeding your call to receive our worship.

03:57

O Lord, we know this is only possible because of the perfect mediation of Christ, who in his mercy and grace has united himself to us.

04:09

O Lord, we pray that we would truly worship you in a way that brings you honor and glory.

04:15

We ask that you would attend our prayers, that you would meet with us here in a special way as the gathered saints who come in your name.

04:26

And we ask all these things in the name of Jesus, amen. Please kneel as we confess our sins together corporately.

04:38

Let us now confess our sins in unison.

04:47

Almighty God, we acknowledge and confess that we have sinned against you, in thought, word, and deed.

04:57

We have not loved you with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength.

05:03

We have not loved our neighbor as ourselves. Deepen within us our sorrow for the wrongs of the world.

05:11

For the wrong we have done and the good we have left undone. Lord, you are full of compassion and gracious.

05:20

Slow to anger and plenteous in mercy. There is always forgiveness with you.

05:28

Restore to us the joy of your salvation. Bind up that which is broken.

05:35

Give light to our minds, strength to our wills, and rest to our souls.

05:42

Speak to each of us and let your word abide with us.

05:48

Until it is brought in us your holy will. Please stand.

05:59

But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his son, born of a woman, born under the law to redeem those who were under the law.

06:12

So that we might receive adoption as sons. O people of God, take heart today.

06:20

If you be in Christ, your sins are forgiven. Amen. Please take up the hymnal and turn to number 200.

06:29

It came upon a midnight clear, number 200. You may stand.

11:12

For my salvation is about to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold on it, who keeps from defiling the

11:23

Sabbath, and keeps his hand from doing any evil. Do not let the son of the foreigner who has joined himself to the

11:30

Lord speak, saying, the Lord has utterly separated me from his people, nor let the eunuch say, here

11:37

I am, a dry tree. For thus says the Lord to the eunuchs who keep my Sabbath, and choose what pleases me, and hold fast my covenant, even to them

11:47

I'll give in my house and within my walls a place and a name better than that of sons and daughters.

11:53

And I'll give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off. Also the sons of the foreigner who joined themselves to the

12:01

Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be his servants, everyone who keeps from defiling the

12:09

Sabbath, and holds fast my covenant. Even them I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer.

12:17

Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar, for my house shall be called the house of prayer for all nations.

12:25

The Lord God who gathers the outcasts of Israel says, yet I will gather to him others besides those who are gathered to him.

12:34

All you beasts of the field, come to devour. All you beasts in the forest, his watchmen are blind.

12:40

They are all ignorant. They are all dumb dogs. They cannot bark, sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.

12:48

Yes, they are greedy dogs, which never have enough. And they are shepherds who cannot understand us today and much more abundant.

12:56

This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Let us confess our faith to one another, to the world, and the singing of the
