Call to Worship

Tim Guara

One:    Thus says the Lord:

Many: Maintain justice, and do what is right, for soon my salvation will come and my deliverance be revealed.

One:    Happy is the mortal who does this…better than sons and daughters;

Many: I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off.

One:    And the foreigners who join themselves…and hold fast my covenant—

Many: these I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer;

One:    their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices…for all peoples.

Many: Thus says the Lord God, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, I will gather others to them besides those already gathered.
