66, 325, 1 Sam 1:19-28


response reading 66. Psalms 150.
Praise the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.
Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.
Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,
praise him with tambourine and dancing,
praise him with the strings and flute,
praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.

1 Living for Jesus, oh, what peace! Rivers of pleasure never cease,
Trials may come, yet I'll not fear. Living for Jesus, He is near.
Help me to serve Thee more and more. Help me to praise Thee over and over;
Live in Thy presence day by day, never to turn from Thee away.
2 Living for Jesus, oh, what rest! Pleasing my Savior, I am blest.
Only to live for Him alone, doing His will till life is done!
Help me to serve Thee more and more. Help me to praise Thee over nad over;
Live in Thy presence day by day, never to turn from Thee away.
3 Living for Jesus, everywhere, all of my burdens He doth bear.
Friends may forsake me; he'll be true, trusting in Him He'll guide me through.
Help me to serve Thee more and more. Help me to praise Thee over nad over;
Live in Thy presence day by day, never to turn from Thee away.
4 Living for Jesus, till at last into His glory I have passed;
There to behold Him on His throne, hear from His lips, "My child, well done!"
Help me to serve Thee more and more. Help me to praise Thee over nad over;
Live in Thy presence day by day, never to turn from Thee away.


1 Sam 1:19-28
19 Early the next morning they arose and worshiped before the LORD and then went back to their home at Ramah. Elkanah lay with Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her.
20 So in the course of time Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, "Because I asked the LORD for him."
21 When the man Elkanah went up with all his family to offer the annual sacrifice to the LORD and to fulfill his vow,
22 Hannah did not go. She said to her husband, "After the boy is weaned, I will take him and present him before the LORD, and he will live there always."
23 "Do what seems best to you," Elkanah her husband told her. "Stay here until you have weaned him; only may the LORD make good his word." So the woman stayed at home and nursed her son until she had weaned him.
24 After he was weaned, she took the boy with her, young as he was, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of the LORD at Shiloh.
25 When they had slaughtered the bull, they brought the boy to Eli,
26 and she said to him, "As surely as you live, my lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you praying to the LORD.
27 I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him.
28 So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD." And he worshiped the LORD 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.
