CALL TO WORSHIP (Psalm 98:4-9a)
Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all the earth;
break forth in joyous acclamation, shout with joy and sing
praises.
Sing praises to the LORD with music, and with the sound of
celebration.
With trumpets and the sound of the horn shout with joy
in the presence of the LORD, our King.
Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; the world and those who live
in it.
Let the rivers clap their hands;
let the hills proclaim with shouts of joy in the presence of
the LORD,
PRAYER OF ADORATION AND CONFESSION (from Psalm 98)
LORD God, we do indeed sing a new song
for you have done marvellous things.
Your right hand and holy ann have gained victory
You have made known this victory;
and shown salvation to all the nations of the earth.
You have cared for your loved ones with steadfast love and
faithfulness:
and all the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God and
King.
With all the earth we make a joyful shout to you, O LORD,
in joyous acclamation, shouts of joy and songs praise.
Let our praise come to you, O LORD,
in songs of praises, in music, in the sound of celebration.;
with trumpets, and the sound of the horn
shout with joy in your presence, O LORD, our King.
The sea roars, and all that fills it; the world and those who live in
it;
the rivers clap their hands
and the hills proclaim with shouts of joy at your presence, O LORD,
For you are coming to judge the earth;
coming to judge the world with actions that put things right,
and all the peoples with justice.
Dare we then bring to you our darkest possessions;
our sorrow, pity, anger, fears;
the hurts of our living, our oceans of tears?
But if we cannot bring them to you, to whom shall we go?
For the times we cannot sing your songs,
Lord have mercy.
Lord have mercy.
For the times we cannot speak your good news
Christ have mercy
Christ have mercy.
For the times we cannot bring your praise,
Lord have mercy.
Lord have mercy.
Raise us from our pain and brokenness
give us the eyes to see and the ears to hear
Jesus still among us, touching, forgiving and strengthening.
Comfort us, heal us, and re-create us, O God,
so that we may live
in the wholeness you desire;
to the glory of your name. Amen.

comfort, all my people" a hymn by Robin Mann, and three phrases from Lord of all
love" a hymn by Colin Gibson.)
