BACCALAUREATE SERVICE PRELUDE THE PREPARATION (Please Stand) GREETING: Leader: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. All: And also with you. HYMN #242 Salzburg 1. Let the whole creation cry, "Glory to the Lord on high!" Heav'n and earth, awake and sing, "Praise him, our almighty King!" Praise him, angel hosts above, Ever bright and fair in love; Sun and moon, lift up your voice; Night and stars, in God rejoice. 2. Warriors fighting for the Lord, Prophets burning with his word, Those to whom the arts belong Add their voices to tie song. Kings of knowledge and of law, To the glorious circle draw; All who work and all who wait, Sinn, "The Lord is good and great!" 3. Men and women, young and old, Raise the anthem loud and bold, And let children's happy hearts In this worship take their parts; From the north to southern pole Let the mighty chorus roll: "Holy, Holy, Holy One; Glory be to God alone!" Lord, open our lips. R: And our mouth shall proclaim your praise. All: Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as in the beginning, so now, and for ever. Amen. Alleluia. THE PSALTER: 122 Gelineau Congregational Antiphon: We shall go up with joy to the house of our God.
