Call to Worship - Psalm 84

1 How lovely is your dwelling place,
Lord Almighty!
2 My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.
3 Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young—
a place near your altar,
Lord Almighty, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you.[c]

Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
    whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
As they pass through the Valley of Baka,
    they make it a place of springs;
    the autumn rains also cover it with pools.[d]
They go from strength to strength,
    till each appears before God in Zion.

Hear my prayer, Lord God Almighty;
    listen to me, God of Jacob.
Look on our shield,[e] O God;
    look with favor on your anointed one.

10 Better is one day in your courts
    than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
    than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
    the Lord bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold
    from those whose walk is blameless.

12 Lord Almighty,
    blessed is the one who trusts in you.

Blessed Be Your Name

Blessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name

Blessed Be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name

Every blessing You pour out, I'll
Turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say


Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's 'all as it should be'
Blessed be Your name

Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name

Every blessing You pour out, I'll
Turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say


Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

We Three Kings of Orient Are

Verse 1 

We three kings of Orient are

Bearing gifts we traverse afar

Field and fountain moor and mountain

Following yonder star

Verse 2 

Born a King on Bethlehem plain

Gold I bring to crown Him again

King forever ceasing never

Over us all to reign

Chorus

O star of wonder star of night

Star with royal beauty bright

Westward leading still proceeding

Guide us to Thy perfect light

Verse 3 

Frankincense to offer have I

Incense owns a Deity nigh

Prayer and praising gladly raising

Worshipping God on high

Verse 4 

Myrrh is mine its bitter perfume

Breathes a life of gathering gloom

Sorrowing sighing bleeding dying

Sealed in the stone cold tomb

Chorus

O star of wonder star of night

Star with royal beauty bright

Westward leading still proceeding

Guide us to Thy perfect light

Verse 5 

Glorious now behold Him arise

King and God and sacrifice

Alleluia alleluia

Sounds through the earth and skies

I Wonder as I Wander

I wonder as I wander out under the sky

How Jesus the Savior did come for to die

For poor ornery people like you and I

I wonder as I wander, out under the sky

If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing

A star in the sky or a bird on a wing

Or all of God's angels in heaven to sing

He surely could have had it

Cause He was the King

I wonder as I wander out under the sky

How Jesus the Savior did come for to die

For poor ornery people like you and I

I wonder as I wander out under the sky

Out under the sky

The Birthday of a King

Verse 1:

In the little village of Bethlehem, There lay a Child one day, And the sky was bright with a holy light O'er the place where Jesus lay.

Chorus:

Alleluia! Oh, how the angels sang. Alleluia! How it rang! And the sky was bright with a holy light, 'Twas the birthday of a King.

Verse 2:

'Twas a humble birthplace, but oh, how much God gave to us that day; From the man - ger bed what a path has led, What a per - fect, holy way.
