Calls To Worship
Zion
Adapted from Isaiah 2:3-5
Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house of the God of Jacob.
He will teach us his ways,
So that we may walk in his paths.
The law will go out from Zion,
The word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
God will judge between the nations
And will settle disputes for many peoples.
They will beat their swords in plowshares
And their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not take up sword against nation,
Nor will they war any more.
Come, house of Jacob,
Let us walk in the light of the Lord.
Austin D. Hill
Adapted from Psalm 50:1-3, 6, 23
Pastor: The Mighty One, God the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.
All: Our God comes; he does not keep silence; before him is a devouring fire, around him a mighty tempest.
Pastor: The heavens declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge!
All: The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me; to one who orders his way rightly I will show the salvation of God!

Those who trust in the Lord
Are like Mount Zion
Which cannot be moved,
But abides forever.
Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord,
Who walks in God’s ways.
Lord almighty, help us to trust in you today.

Adapted from Isaiah 2:2-5
Pastor: It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be lifted up above the hills; and all the nations shall flow to it, and many peoples shall come, and say:
All: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.”
Pastor: For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide disputes for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.
All: O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the LORD.

Adapted from Revelation 21:1-4
Pastor: Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
All: And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Pastor: And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
All: He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. This God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even unto death.
He that sat upon the throne said. Behold, I make all things new, I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.
Adapted from Psalm 146
Praise the Lord, my soul.
I will praise the Lord all my life;
I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
Do not put your trust in princes,
in human beings, who cannot save.
Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord their God.
He is the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them—
he remains faithful forever.
He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets prisoners free, the Lord gives sight to the blind,
the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down,
the Lord loves the righteous.
The Lord watches over the foreigner
and sustains the fatherless and the widow,
but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.
The Lord reigns forever,
your God, O Zion, for all generations.
Praise the Lord.
