Adapted from Psalm 84

How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord Almighty!  

My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord;  

My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.  

Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere. 

I would rather be the doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked. 

Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you.

Adapted from Psalm 100

Leader: Let us make a joyful noise to the Lord.

People: Let us worship the Lord with gladness;

Leader: Let us come into God’s presence with singing.

People: God, You are the Holy One our Lord. It is You who made us, and we are Yours; we are Your people, and the sheep of Your pasture.

Leader: We enter Your gates with thanksgiving, and Your courts with praise. We give thanks to You, we bless Your holy name.

All: For You are good; Your steadfast love endures forever, and Your faithfulness to all generations.

Leader: Let us sing praises to the Lord.

Leader: Let us continue our praise.   Praise the Lord!

Praise God in his sanctuary
