Just preparing the order of worship for our 5th Anniversary Service gets me excited and energized. Here are the four psalms I chose for singing. Wait a few seconds for the music player to load.
Opening Song of Praise:Â Psalm 96:1-9
Tune: Azmon
1 O sing a new song to the LORD, Sing all the earth to God; In daily praises bless His Name And tell His grace abroad. 2 Among the nations far and wide |
3 Let all the peoples of the earth Give glory to the LORD, Give Him the glory due His Name And strength to Him accord. 4 With offerings come to His courts, |
Song of Thanksgiving:Â Psalm 66:16-20
Tune: Gerard

O let the Lord, our gracious God, forever blessed be, Who has not turned my pray’r from Him, nor yet His grace from me. O all ye peoples, bless our God, aloud proclaim His praise; Who safely holds our soul in life, and steadfast makes our ways. |

Tune: St. Petersburg
1 With all my heart my thanks I’ll bring, Before the gods your praise I’ll sing; I’ll bow down t’ward your holy place And praise you for your love and grace; for you above all things, O LORD, Have magnified your name and Word. 3 Although the LORD is throned on high, |

Song of Consecration:Â Psalm 95:1-7 a
Tune: St. Denio
1 O come let us joyfully sing to the LORD; to-the Rock of salvation we raise up our voice. Let’s enter his presence expressing our thanks with shouts and loud singing, praise him and rejoice. 2 The LORD is the great God, King over all gods. |
The heights of the mountains belong to the LORD. The oceans are his, and he formed the dry land. 3 Come now, bow down humbly and worship the LORD; |
