CALL TO WORSHIP                    Daniel 2.20-23                           Scott Millett

One   Praise be to the name of God our Father forever and ever;

Many WISDOM AND POWER ARE HIS.

 

One   He changes the times and the seasons;

Many HE SETS UP RULERS, AND HE DEPOSES THEM.

 

One   He gives wisdom to the wise,

Many AND HE GIVES KNOWLEDGE TO THE DISCERNING.

 

One   He reveals deep and hidden things;

Many HE KNOWS WHAT LIES IN DARKNESS, AND LIGHT DWELLS

          WITH HIM.

 

One   I thank You and praise You, O God of our fathers:

Many YOU HAVE GIVEN US WISDOM AND POWER,

 

One   You have made known to us what we asked of You,

Many YOU HAVE MADE KNOWN TO US THE DREAM OF THE KING.

          AMEN.
