4 OLD TESTAMENT READING 1 Chronicles 16:23-31 (NKJV) David s Song of Thanksgiving 23 Sing to the Lord, all the earth; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day. 24 Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples. 25 For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; He is also to be feared above all gods. 26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the Lord made the heavens. 27 Honor and majesty are before Him; Strength and gladness are in His place. 28 Give to the Lord, O families of the peoples, Give to the Lord glory and strength. 29 Give to the Lord the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him. Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! 30 Tremble before Him, all the earth. The world also is firmly established, It shall not be moved. 31 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; And let them say among the nations, The Lord reigns. LEADER: This is the Word of God CONGREGATION: Thanks Be Unto God 4

5 NEW TESTAMENT READING Colossians 3:12-17 (NKJV) LEADER: Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. CONG: But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. LEADER: Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. ALL: And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. 5

6 Count Your Blessings When upon life s billows you are tempest tossed, When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost, Count your many blessings name them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done. Chorus: Count your blessings name them one by one; Count your blessings see what God hath done; Count your blessings name them one by one; Count your many blessings see what God hath done. Are you ever burdened with a load of care? Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear? Count your many blessings ev- ry doubt will fly, And you will be singing as the days go by. When you look at others with their lands and gold, Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold; Count your many blessings money cannot buy Your reward in heaven nor your home on high. So amid the conflict, whether great or small, Do not be discouraged God is over all; Count your many blessings angels will attend, Help and comfort give you to your journey s end. 6
