Order of Service The Processional Hymn (No. 216) Lift us your heads, ye gates of brass, Ye bars of iron, yield, And let the King of Glory pass; The Cross is in the field; That banner, brighter than the star That leads the train of night, Shines on their march, and guides from far A Holy war those servants wage; In that mysterious strife, The powers of heaven and hell engage For more than death or life. Ye armies of the living God, Ye warriors of Christ's host, Where hallowed footstep never trod His servants to the fight. Take your appointed post. Though few and small and weak your hands, Strong in your Captain's strength, Go to the conquest of all lands; All must be His at length. Uplifted are the gates of brass, The bars of iron yield: Behold the King of Glory pass; The Cross bath won the field. The Versicles Rev. A. G. Jacobi, President of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Canada O Lord open Thou my lips: And my mouth shall show forth Thy praise. Make haste, O God, to deliver me: Make haste to help me, 0 Lord. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost: As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Hallelujah. The Psalm (No. 19) The heavens declare the glory of God: and the firmament showeth His handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech: and night unto night showeth knowledge. There is no speech nor language: where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth: and their words to the end of the world. In them hath He set a tablernacle for the sun: which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is Thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. Who can understand his errors: cleanse Thou me from secret faults. Keep back Thy servant also from presumptuous sins, let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Thy sight: 0 Lord, my Strength and my Redeemer. The First Lesson (Isaiah 50: 4-10) Dr. H. N.
