been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem! (Psalm 122:1-2)

For the sake of the house of the Lord our God; I will seek your good. (Psalm 122:9)

THE HYMN OF PRAISE………………………………………………………..……AME HYMN # 21—”TO GOD BE THE GLORY”
1.
To God be the glory, great things He hath done; So loved He the world that He gave His Son, Who yielded
His life an atonement for sin, And opened the life gate that all may go in.
REFRAIN: Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Let the earth hear His voice! Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Let
people rejoice! O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son, And give Him the glory, great things He
hath done.
2.
O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood, To every believer the promise of God; The vilest offender
who truly believes, That moment from Jesus, a pardon receives.
REFRAIN
3.
Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done, And great our rejoicing through Jesus the
Son; But purer, and higher, and greater will be Our go with me, I still will follow, no turning back, no turning back.

THE PREFACE TO THE DECALOGUE…………………………………...………………………….…..“FROM ALL THAT DWELL”
From all that dwell below the skies, let the Creator’s praise arise;
let the Redeemer’s name be sung, through every land by every tongue.
THE SUMMARY OF THE DECALOGUE
And Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your
mind. This is the great and first commandment. And the second is like it, you shall love your neighbor as yourself. On
these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.
THE GLORIA PATRI…………………………………………………………………….…………...“GLORY BE TO THE FATHER”
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen.
