Prelude: “Ye Sons of Men, Oh, Hearken” The Lutheran Hymnal Hymn 75
Introit: Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men: the Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing: but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God. Ps. Lord, Thou hast been favorable unto Thy land: Thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob. 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. (Philippians 4:4-5; Psalm 85:1)
