The Healing of the Leper

OUR APPROACH TO GOD
Prelude
Introit “Jesus, Thou Joy of Loving Hearts”

Welcome

Call to Worship: Psalm 40:1a, 16; Psalm 41:1a, 3

Happy are those who make the Lord their trust;
HAPPY ARE THOSE WHO CONSIDER THE POOR; THE LORD DELIVERS THEM IN DAY OF TROUBLE; TILE LORD PROTECTS THEM AND KEEPS THEM ALIVE.
The Lord sustains them on their sickbed; In their illness you heal all their infirmities.
MAY ALL WHO SEE YOU, REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN YOU; MAY THOSE WHO LOVE YOUR SALVATION SAY CONTINUALLY: “GREAT IS THE LORD!”

*Hymn 8 “Praise to the Lord, the Almighty”

Let us be before our God in silence.

Unison Prayer: Psalm 41
O LORD BE GRACIOUS TO ME; HEAL ME, FOR I HAVE SINNED AGAINST YOU... O LORD BE GRACIOUS TO ME AND RAISE ME UP...BLESSED BE THE LORD, THE GOD OF ISRAEL, FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING. AMEN AND AMEN.

Kyrie (sung)
LORD, HAVE MERCY ON US.
CHRIST, HAVE MERCY ON US.
LORD, HAVE MERCY ON US.
