Opening of Worship
“O Worship the King” Grant
Psalm of Entrance
This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. We come together to worship the God of creation, of salvation, of time and eternity; the God of all peoples, all nations, all people everywhere.
Praise the Lord! All that is within me, praise God’s holy name.
Praise the Lord and remember all his kindness: in forgiving our sins; in curing our diseases; in saving us from destruction; in surrounding us with love.
The Lord is full of mercy and compassion. The Lord is slow to anger and generous in love. Praise the Lord! Oh, all that is within me, praise the Lord!
—Psalm 103, adapt.
