GATHERING MUSIC
CHORAL INTROIT
One The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all
who live in it;
Many FOR HE FOUNDED IT UPON THE SEAS AND ESTABLISHED IT
UPON THE WATERS.
One Who may ascend the hill of the LORD?
Who may stand in his holy place?
Many HE WHO HAS CLEAN HANDS AND A PURE HEART,
WHO DOES NOT LIFT UP HIS SOUL TO AN IDOL,
OR SWEAR BY WHAT IS FALSE.
One He will receive blessing from the Lord and vindication from God
his Savior.
Many SUCH IS THE GENERATION OF THOSE WHO SEEK HIM,
WHO SEEK YOUR FACE, O GOD OF JACOB.
One Lift up your heads, O you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
Many WHO IS THIS KING OF GLORY? THE LORD STRONG AND
MIGHTY, THE LORD MIGHTY IN BATTLE.
One Lift up your heads, O you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
Many WHO IS HE, THIS KING OF GLORY? THE LORD ALMIGHTY—
HE IS THE KING OF GLORY. AMEN.
