Read: Psalm 37

Prayer: for the church, for others, and for myself

Hymn: “Precious Lord, Take My Hand”
Precious Lord, take my hand,
Lead me on, help me stand,
I am tired, I am week, I am worn.
Through the storm, through the night,
Lead me on to the light.
Take my hand, precious Lord; lead me home.

When my way grows drear,
Precious Lord, linger near-
When my life is almost gone.
Hear my cry, hear my call,
Hold my hand lest I fall.
Take my hand, precious Lord; lead me home.

When darkness appears
And the night draws near,
And the day is past and gone,
At the river I stand;
Guide my feet, hold my hand.
Take my hand, precious Lord; lead me home.

Closing Prayer: Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is One. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. (Deuteronomy 6:4-5).
