Keep, O Lord, your household the Church in your steadfast faith and love, that through your grace we may proclaim your truth with boldness, and minister your justice with compassion; for the sake of our Savior Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever and taught us to pray:

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen.

THE INVITATION TO SUNDAY SCHOOL Rev. Robert J. Brink

THE PSALMODY Psalm 20 sung to Aurelia

Lord, hear our supplication, The Lord shall with a victor’s crown
For trouble is at hand; Adorn the servant’s head;

And be to us a strong defense God’s foes proclaim their own conceit,
When foes against us stand. I praise my Lord instead.

Remember then our tributes, Their pride falls to destruction,
Each sacrifice to Thee; Yet I am ever brave,

Accept them as Thine honor due, Assured God’s purpose is to judge,
And bring us victory. God’s mercy is to save.
