Closing Psalm – Trinity Psalter Psalm 118:17-29 

I shall not die, but live and tell
Jehovah's power to save; 
The LORD has sorely chastened me,
But spared me from the grave.
O set ye open unto me
The gates of righteousness;
Then will I enter into them
And I the LORD will bless.
 
This is Jehovah's gate; by it
The just shall enter in.
I'll praise Thee Who hast heard my prayer,
And hast my safety been.
That stone is made head cornerstone
Which builders did despise.
This is the doing of the LORD, 
And wondrous in our eyes.

This is the day the LORD has made; 
Let us be glad and sing.
Hosanna, LORD! O give success!
O LORD, salvation bring!
O bless-ed be the one who comes,
Comes in Jehovah's name; 
The blessing from Jehovah's house
Upon you we proclaim.

 

The LORD is God, and He to us
Has made the light arise;
O bind ye to the altar’s horns
With cords the sacrifice.
Thou art my God; I’ll give Thee thanks.
My God, I’ll worship Thee.
O thank the LORD, for He is good;
His grace will endless be.
 

Benediction – The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. 2 Corinthians 13:14
