Opening Prayer
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, daughter of Jerusalem!
See, your king comes to you; righteous and having salvation, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
Zechariah 9:9
As the people spread their coats palm branches on the ground to welcome Jesus into Jerusalem, so we welcome him into our lives this morning. King of Glory, King of Peace, Servant King, reign in our hearts and lives this day and all days, that we might praise your holy name.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord
ALL: Hosanna in the highest
A Psalm
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
ALL: Let Israel say: "His love endures forever."
The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone;
ALL: The LORD has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.
This is the day the LORD has made;
ALL: let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD.
ALL: From the house of the LORD we bless you
The LORD is God and he has made his light shine upon us.
ALL: With boughs in hand, join in the festal procession up to the altar.
You are my God, and I will give you thanks you are my God, and I will exalt you.
ALL: ALL: Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
