Declarations of Worship

A Song of the New Creation
Isaiah 43
1 ‘I am the Lord, your Holy One, •
the Creator of Israel, your King.’
2 Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea, •
a path in the mighty waters,
3 ‘Remember not the former things, •
nor consider the things of old.
4 ‘Behold, I am doing a new thing; •
now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
5 ‘I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert, •
to give drink to my chosen people,
6 ‘The people whom I formed for myself, •
that they might declare my praise.’
Amen.

The Jubilate
O be joyful in the Lord, all the earth; •
serve the Lord with gladness
and come before his presence with a song.
Know that the Lord is God; •
it is he that has made us and we are his;
we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise; •
give thanks to him and bless his name.
For the Lord is gracious; his steadfast love is everlasting, •
and his faithfulness endures from generation to generation. (Psalm 100)

Psalm 95

O come, let us sing to the Lord;
let us heartily rejoice in the rock of our salvation.
Let us come into his presence with
thanksgiving and be glad in him with psalms.
For the Lord is a great God
and a great king above all gods.
Come, let us worship and bow down
and kneel before the Lord our Maker.
For he is our God;
we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning, is now, and shall be forever,
world without end.
Amen

The Gloria

Glory to God in the highest,
and peace to his people on earth.
Lord God, heavenly King,
almighty God and Father,
we worship you, we give you thanks,
we praise you for your glory.
Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father,
Lord God, Lamb of God,
you take away the sin of the world:
have mercy on us;
you are seated at the right hand of the Father:
receive our prayer.
For you alone are the Holy One,
you alone are the Lord,
you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ,
with the Holy Spirit,
in the glory of God the Father.
Amen.
