The Worship of God Easter 5 May 18, 2014
PRELUDE GATHERING Tiffany Triplett Henkel
Pastor The congregation is asked to read the boldface text.
The Lord be with you. And also with you.
CHORAL INTROIT CALL TO WORSHIP based on Psalm 42
As the deer pants for streams of water, ! so my soul pants for you, O God. !
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. ! When can I come and see the face of God? !
Why, my soul, are you downcast? ! Why so disturbed within me? !
Put your hope in God, ! for I will yet praise the Lord, my Savior and my God.
Deep calls to deep ! in the roar of your waterfalls; ! all your waves and breakers have swept over me.
By day you direct your love, ! at night your song is with me— !a prayer to the God of my life.
I say to God my Rock, ! “Why have you forgotten me?” Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? !
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise the Lord, my Savior and my God.
