INTROIT
*PROCESSIONAL HYMN 101 From All That Dwells Below the Skies
*PRAYER FOR
MUSICIANS
Sung Response: Praise the Lord, ye saints
and sing; all the powers of music bring.
Pastor:
Make a joyful noise to the Lord.
Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into God’s presence with
singing!
All:
O God, who inspired David the
King both to write songs and appoint singers to your worship: give grace to
the singers in your Church, that with psalms, and hymns, and spiritual
songs we may sing and make music to the glory of your Name. We pray that our lives, like our
worship, may become an unending doxology, giving you, Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit, all glory and honor.
Sung Response: Praise the Lord, ye saints
and sing; all the powers of music bring.
All: We ask you to lead us to the heavenly
kingdom where we shall sing your praises in the company of the saints.
Pastor: O God, whom saints and angels delight
to worship in heaven, be ever present with your servants who seek through music to perfect
the praises offered by your people on earth; and grant them even now
glimpses of your beauty, and make them worthy at length to behold it unveiled for
evermore; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
All: Let
every instrument be tuned for praise!
Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise!
And may God give us faith to sing
always: Alleluia!
Sung Response: Praise the Lord, ye saints
and sing; all the powers of music bring.
