ORDER OF SERVICE PRELUDE: "My Heart Ever Faithful" -- J. S. Bach THE OPENING HYMN (No. 142) 1. Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire And lighten with celestial fire; Thou the anointing Spirit art Who dost Thy sevenfold gifts impart. 2. Thy blessed unction from above Is comfort, life, and fire of love. Enable with perpetual light The dullness of our blinded sight. 3. Anoint our heart and cheer our face With the abundance of Thy grace. Keep far our foes; give peace at home; Where Thou art Guide, no ill can come. 4. Teach us to know the Father, Son, And Thee, of Loth, to be but One; That through the ages all along Thy praise may be our endless song! THE VERSICLES THE REV. J. S. DAUPHINEE, Pastor Loci 0 Lord, open Thou my lips: Make haste, 0 God, to deliver me: Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost: R. And my mouth shall show forth Thy praise. R. Make haste to help me, 0 Lord. R. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Hallelujah. THE PSALM (No. 66) Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands : sing forth the honor of His Name, make His praise glorious. Say unto God, How terrible art Thou in Thy works : through the greatness of Thy power shall Thine enemies submit themselves unto Thee. All the earth shall worship Thee, and shall sing unto Thee : they shall sing to Thy Name. Come and see the works of God : He is terrible in His doing toward the children of men. He turned the sea into dry land : they went through the flood on foot, there did we rejoice in Him. He ruleth by His power for ever, His eyes behold the nations : Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. 0 bless our God, ye people : and make the voice of His praise to be heard. Which holdeth our soul in life : and suffereth not our feet to be moved. For Thou, 0 God, hast proved us : Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. Thou broughtest us into the net : Thou laidst affliction upon our loins. Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads : we went through fire and through water, but Thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place. I will go into Thy house with burnt offerings : 1 will pay Thee my vows, which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble. I will offer unto Thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams : I will offer bullocks with goats. Come and hear, all ye that fear God : and I will declare what He hath done for my soul. I cried unto Him with my mouth : and He was extolled with my tongue. If I regard iniquity in my heart : the Lord will not hear me. But verily God hath heard me : He hath attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God which hath not turned away my prayer : nor His mercy from me. THE FIRST LESSON (Daniel 12: 1 - 4, 13) - THE REV. RAGNAR C. TEIGEN, M. Th.
