Second Sunday of Easter
Prelude Lift High the Cross
Invocation
*Opening Hymn Alleluia, Alleluia UMH 162
*Responsive Reading Psalm 16
Leader: Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge.
All: I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.”
Leader: I say of the holy people who are in the land, “They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.”
All: Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more. I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods or take up their names on my lips.
Leader: Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure.
All: The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
Leader: I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.
All: I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With Him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Leader: Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure,
All: Because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay.
Leader: You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
All: Amen.
