The Lord's Prayer (new)

Father in heaven, Your name we confess,
High and exalted in bright holiness;
O may Your kingdom come, Your will be done,
And may the earth and heav'n be joined as one.

O Father now our daily bread supply,
And grant forgiveness for iniquity;
May we forgive, as we have been forgiv'n,
Our hearts with mercy filled, as Yours in heav'n.

O Father lead us from temptation's pow'r,
May we find safety from sin's trying hour;
O Lord deliver from the evil one,
All this we ask through Your Beloved Son. Amen!

A Morning Round

In the Morning I Will Praise Him

In the morning I will praise Him,
Lift my voice up to the sky;
For He ever watches o'er me,
God Most High.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, God Most High.

Lift my voice up in the morning,
In the morning praise the Lord,
God Most High!

When Jesus' Kingdom is Complete
(I Corinthians 15)

When Jesus' kingdom is complete,
And all His foes put down;
Then Christ the firstfruits from the dead,
Shall call with trumpet sound.

Behold, the natural man is dust,
But on that glorious Day;
The dead are raised, we shall be changed,
No more to pass away.

O Death, where is your awful sting?
-The sting of death is sin;
O Hades where's your victory?
For Christ o'er death did win!

Give thanks to God for Christ the Son,
And for abundant grace;
The Spirit keep us for that Day,
When we shall see Christ's face.

Come Children, Sing to Jesus

Come children, sing to Jesus,
Sing of all His wondrous ways;

With a tune that's joyful, joyful, joyful,
With a tune that's joyful, sing His praise.

For He loves His cov'nant children,
He will bless them all their days.

O My Heart Rejoices ~ Psalm 122

O my heart rejoices to hear them say,
“Let us go to Zion this festal day!”
Up to her court with all those called God’s own,
There standing in His gates, before His throne.

Zion stands before us, a glorious place!
There the people gather to seek God’s face;
And to give thanks to David’s greater Heir,
Who sits enthroned to make His judgments there.

O may joy and peace all your walls surround,
And prosperity in your gates be found.
O Zion, all my hopes and prayers shall be,
A thousand blessings from the Lord to see.

To the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost;
All the Church now gathered, a mighty host--
Lift up your hearts in skillful, joyful praise;
In Zion’s courts your highest honors raise.
