Opening Litany
(based on Psalm 96:
1-13)
Sing
to the LORD a new song;
let
all the people of the earth sing a new song unto the Lord.
We will sing praises to the Lord
We will sing praises to the Lord
and proclaim the salvation of the Lord all our
days.
We will proclaim the glory of the Lord to all the
nations
and the Lord’s marvelous deeds to all
peoples.
For the Lord is great and worthy of praise above all gods.
Our idols in this world are only that, just idols,
For the Lord is great and worthy of praise above all gods.
Our idols in this world are only that, just idols,
but the Lord God created the heavens and the earth.
Splendor, Majesty and Glory surround the presence
of the Lord.
Let all the peoples in all the nations of the earth
Let all the peoples in all the nations of the earth
ascribe
to the Lord the glory and honor
due
the name of the Lord of all creation.
We will worship the Lord with praise
We will worship the Lord with praise
and say to all people, “The Lord Reigns!”
For the justice of the Lord will be established
over all the earth.
Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad,
Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad,
let
the sea resound and all that is in it.
Let
the fields be jubilant and everything in them;
let
all the trees of the forest sing for joy.
Let all creation rejoice before the Lord
Let all creation rejoice before the Lord
who comes to judge the earth and all people
with righteousness and loving kindness.
