*CALL TO WORSHIP:                     Psalm 118: 1-2, 14-24

 

O give thanks to the LORD, for God  is good; with steadfast love enduring forever!  Let Israel say,

"God’s steadfast love endures forever."

The LORD is my strength and my might;

God has become my salvation.

There are glad songs of victory in the tents of the righteous:

"The right hand of the LORD does valiantly;

the right hand of the LORD is exalted;

the right hand of the LORD does valiantly."

I shall not die, but I shall live, and recount the deeds of the LORD.  The LORD has punished me severely,

 but God did not give me over to death.

Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and give thanks to the LORD.

This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter through it.

I thank you that you have answered me and have become my salvation.  The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.

This is the Lord's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.

This is the day that the LORD has made;

let us rejoice and be glad in it.
