9, 369, 16:11-26

response reading 9. Psalm 15.
LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill?
He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart
and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his fellowman,
who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the LORD, who keeps his oath even when it hurts,
who lends his money without usury and does not accept a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.


hymnal 369
1 What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer
O what peace we often forfeit, oh, what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer
2 Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a friend so faithful, who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness take it to the Lord in prayer!
3 Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our Refuge; take it to the Lord in prayer!
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?  Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He'll take and shield thee, Thou wilt find a solace there.


Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread,
and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors,
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. amen.
