Ps. 75 76; Ps. 23 27; Judges 5:19–31; Acts 2:22–36; Matt. 28:11–20 


Jubilate
serve the Lord with gladness
and come before his presence with a song.
he himself has made us, and we are his;
we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
go into his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and call upon his Name.
his mercy is everlasting;
and his faithfulness endures from age to age.
Be joyful in the Lord, all you lands;
Know this: The Lord himself is God;
Enter his gates with thanksgiving;
For the Lord is good;
and his mercy is everlasting from age to age.

A Prayer of Self-Dedication

Almighty and eternal God, so draw our hearts to you, so guide our minds, so fill our imaginations, so control our wills, that we may be wholly yours, utterly dedicated unto you; and then use us, we pray you, as you will, and always to your glory and the welfare of your people; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
