Leader O give thanks to the LORD, call on his name, make known his deeds among the peoples.
People Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wonderful works. Leader Glory to his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. People Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his presence continually. ALL Remember the wonderful works he has done, his miracles, and the
