Beethoven, The heavens are telling
…the Lord’s endless glory; through all the earth God’s praise is found. The seas re-echo the marvelous story, let all repeat that glorious sound. The starry hosts God orders and numbers; and fills the morning’s golden light. God wakes the sun from its night-curtained slumber; let all adore the King of kings. The heavens are God’s and the earth knows God’s favor, and in all things God’s power is seen, the Lord of hosts, who forever and ever our God and Maker still shall be. God is our Maker whose love does not falter; the God of wisdom, ever just. Let earth and all things our God praise forever, creation now exalt our God.

Scripture
Open your ears, O faithful people

Anthem
Craig Curry, I heard the voice of Jesus say
…come unto me and rest.
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down thy head upon my breast.
I came to Jesus as I was, weary and worn and sad;
I found in him a resting place, and he has made me glad.

I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Behold, I freely give
The living water; thirsty one, stoop down, and drink, and live.”
I came to Jesus, and I drank of that life giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, and now I live in him.

I heard the voice of Jesus say, I am this dark world’s Light;
Look unto me, thy morn shall rise, and all thy day be bright.
I looked to Jesus, and I found in him my Star, my Sun;
And in that light of life I’ll walk, till traveling days are done.
