THE FIFTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST
GATHERING MUSIC
CALL TO WORSHIP Psalm 139.1-10 Scott Millett
One O Lord, You have searched me and you know me.
Many YOU KNOW WHEN I SIT AND WHEN I RISE;
YOU PERCEIVE MY THOUGHTS FROM AFAR.
One You discern my going out and my lying down;
You are familiar with all my ways.
Many BEFORE A WORD IS ON MY TONGUE,
YOU KNOW IT COMPLETELY, O LORD.
One You hem me in--behind and before; You have laid your hand upon me.
Many SUCH KNOWLEDGE IS TOO WONDERFUL FOR ME,
TOO LOFTY FOR ME TO ATTAIN.
One Where can I go from your Spirit?
Many WHERE CAN I FLEE FROM YOUR PRESENCE?
One If I go up to the heavens, You are there;
Many IF I MAKE MY BED IN THE DEPTHS, YOU ARE THERE.
One If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,
Many EVEN THERE YOUR HAND WILL GUIDE ME,
YOUR RIGHT HAND WILL HOLD ME FAST. AMEN.

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

For thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever, Amen.
