Opening Litany based on Psalm 66

Pastor: Shout with joy to God, all the earth! Sing the glory of the Lord’s name and raise your voices in glorious praise!

Congregation: O Lord, How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that those who would do evil cringe before you. All the earth bows down to you and sings your praises.

Pastor: Come and see what God has done, and the awesome works the Lord has done for us. The sea was turned into dry land and the people passed through the waters on foot, safe from the armies that pursued them, let us rejoice in our Lord forever.

Congregation: The Lord rules forever and watches all the nations of the earth who would rise up in rebellion against the graciousness of God extended to all people.

Pastor: Praise our God, O peoples, let the sound of praise be heard in the land;

Congregation: For the Lord has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping from the path of Grace.
