CALL TO WORSHIP               Psalm145.1-10                                Jim Hoover

One   I will exalt You, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever

          and ever.

Many EVERY DAY I WILL PRAISE YOU, AND I WILL EXTOL YOUR

          NAME FOR EVER AND EVER.

 

One   Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no

          one can fathom.

Many ONE GENERATION WILL COMMEND YOUR WORKS TO

          ANOTHER; THEY WILL TELL OF YOUR MIGHTY ACTS.

 

One   They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty,

Many AND I WILL MEDITATE ON YOUR WONDERFUL WORKS.

 

One   They will tell of the power of your awesome works,

Many AND I WILL PROCLAIM YOUR GREAT DEEDS.

 

One   They will celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of

          your righteousness.

Many THE LORD IS GRACIOUS AND COMPASSIONATE,

          SLOW TO ANGER AND RICH IN LOVE.

 

One   The Lord is good to all; He has compassion on all He has made.

Many ALL YOU HAVE MADE WILL PRAISE YOU, O LORD;

          ALL YOUR SAINTS WILL EXTOL YOU. AMEN.
