INTROIT:
Surge Illuminare
Words: Isaiah 60:1–3
Music: 2004 | Huw Williams (b. 1971)
Park Street Chamber Choir

Arise, shine, for thy light is come:
and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
For behold the darkness shall cover the earth:
and gross darkness the people.
But the Lord shall arise upon thee:
and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
And the Gentiles shall come to thy light:
and Kings to the brightness of thy rising.
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.

* CALL TO WORSHIP from Psalm 99
John R. Knight, Elder

Leader: The LORD is King; let the peoples tremble;
he sits between the cherubim; let the earth shake.
People: O magnify the LORD our God,
and fall down before his footstool, for he is holy.
Leader: Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among
those who call upon his Name,
People: they called upon the LORD, and he heard them.
Leader: He spoke to them out of the cloudy pillar,
for they kept his testimonies and the law that he gave them.
People: O magnify the LORD our God, and worship him upon
his holy hill, for the LORD our God is holy.

* INVOCATION, CONFESSION, & LORD’S PRAYER
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 coming day’s bread;
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors;
And lead us not into trial, but deliver us from the Evil One.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
