Call to Worship

Shout for joy to God, all the earth!
     Sing the glory of his name;
   make his praise glorious.
—Psalm 66:1–2 NIV

Praise awaits you, our God, in Zion;
   to you our vows will be fulfilled.
 You who answer prayer,
   to you all people will come.

You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds,
   God our Savior,
the hope of all the ends of the earth
   and of the farthest seas,

The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;
   where morning dawns, where evening fades,
   you call forth songs of joy.
—Psalm 65:1–2, 5, 8 NIV

 

Praise the Lord, all the earth. 
I will praise his name forever.
