Pastor: It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to your name, O Most High; 

Congregation: to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night, 

to the music of the lute and the harp, to the melody of the lyre. 

For you, O LORD, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy. 

*Lifting Our Hearts to the Lord in Humble Adoration & Praise 

Pastor: O Lord our God! We sing praise to you and give thanks to you! We declare that your steadfast love endures through all generations and it is new to us every morning! We rejoice in your faithful mercy that you have extended to us in Christ! We praise you, O Lord for you have made us glad in this great gift of salvation! Glorify your name as we come to you praying together the prayer that our Lord Jesus taught us…
