The Israelites went up out of the land of Egypt prepared for bale. 19 And Moses took with him the bones of Joseph who had required a solemn oath of the Israelites, saying, “God will surely take noce of you, and then you must carry my bones with you from here.” 20 They set out from Succoth, and camped at Etham, on the edge of the wilderness. 21 The Lord went in front of them in a pillar of cloud by day, to lead them along the way, and in a pillar of fire by night, to give them light, so that they might travel by day and by night. 22 Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night leſt its place in front of the people.

Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvaon. One: Let us come to him with thanksgiving. Let us sing psalms of praise to him. All: For the LORD is a great God, a great King above all gods. One: He holds in his hands the depths of the earth and the mighest mountains. All: The sea belongs to him, for he made it. His hands formed the dry land, too. One: Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the LORD our maker, for he is our God. All: We are the people he watches over, the flock under his care. *Hymn 81 Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken *Prayer of Adoraon Anthem A Mighty Fortress A mighty fortress is our God, a refuge never failing. Our helper He amid the flood of mortal winds prevailing. For sll our spirit’s foes doth seek to work us woe; They lure with pow’r so great, with judgement and with hate; Shield us e’er, guard us as Thy own. If we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing. Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God’s own choosing. You ask who this may be? Christ Jesus it is He. Emmanuel His name, from age to age the same; Who was, Who is, Who e’er shall be. Thy word above all earthly power; thy love above all earthly power; Thy Hope above all earthly power; my God above all earthly power. Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; The body they may kill, God’s truth abideth sll. The kingdom is forever. By Marn Luther, arr. Kyle Pederson ©2019 Galaxy Music Corporaon, Inc.
