Adapted from Zephaniah 3:17

 Leader: The prophet Zephaniah says: “The Lord, your God, is in your midst, He is mighty and will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will renew you in His love; He will exult over you with singing.”

People: Let it be known in all nations, God is our strength, God is our song and God is our salvation.

 Leader: So, let us praise God and rejoice with God in song. 

 Adapted from Psalm 90 (ESV)

O Lord, come back to us!

How long will you delay?

Take pity on your servants!

Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love,

so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives.

Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery!

Replace the evil years with good.

Let us, your servants, see you work again;

let our children see your glory.

And may the Lord our God show us his approval

and make our efforts successful.

Yes, make our efforts successful!

Adapted from Psalm 100 (ESV)

Leader: Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
People: come before him with joyful songs.
Leader: Worship the Lord with gladness; Come before him with joyful songs.
People: Know that the Lord is God. Come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God.
Leader: It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
People: Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.
All: For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
His faithfulness continues through all generations.
