SATURDAY AFTERNOON OPENING SPIRITUAL

Psalm 148: Praise to the Lord, the Creator

All:
Alleluia

Right: 

 

Praise the Lord from the heavens,
praise him in the heights.
Praise him, all his angels,
praise him, all his host.

Left:

 

Praise him, sun and moon,
praise him, shining stars.
Praise him, highest heavens
and the waters above the heavens.

Right:

 

Let them praise the name of the Lord.
He commanded: they were made.
He fixed them for ever,
gave a law which shall not pass away.

Left: 

 

Praise the Lord from the earth,
sea creatures and all oceans,
fire and hail, snow and mist,
stormy winds that obey his word;

Right:

 

All mountains and hills,
all fruit trees and cedars,
beasts, wild and tame,
reptiles and birds on the wing;

Left:

 

All earth's kings and peoples,
earth's princes and rulers,
young men and maidens,
the old men together with children.

Right:

 

Let them praise the name of the Lord
for he alone is exalted.
The splendor of his name
reaches beyond heaven and earth.

Left:

 

He exalts the strength of his people.
He is the praise of all his saints,
of the sons of Israel,
of the people to whom he comes close.

All:

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen

Hymn:       God Created Earth and Heaven (to the tune of “Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee”)
