Prelude

Welcome

Responsive Reading
Leader: Hallelujah! Sing to the Lord a new song;
People: Sing his praise in the congregation of the faithful.
Leader: Let Israel rejoice in his Maker;
People: Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
Leader: Let them praise his Name in the dance;
People: Let them sing praise to him with timbrel and harp.
Leader: For the Lord takes pleasure in his people
People: And adorns the poor with victory.
Leader: Let the faithful rejoice in triumph;
People: Let them be joyful on their beds.
Leader: Let the praises of God be in their throat
People: And a two-edged sword in their hand;
Leader: To wreak vengeance on the nations
People: And punishment on the peoples;
Leader: To bind their kings in chains
People: And their nobles with links of iron;
Leader: To inflict on them the judgment decreed;
People: This is glory for all his faithful people. Hallelujah!
