Openin Ope ing Hym Hymn #8 #802 Immortal, , Invi visible, God od Onl nly Wise • Immortal, invisible, God only wise, In light inaccessible hid from our eyes, Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days, Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise. • Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light, Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might; Thy justice like mountains high soaring above Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love. • To all life Thou givest--to both great and small-- In all life Thou livest, the true Life of all; We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree And wither and perish--but naught changes Thee. • Thou reign-est in glory; thou dwell-est in light. Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight; All praise we would render: O help us to see 'Tis only the splendor of light that hid-eth Thee!

Old Old Tes estament Zephaniah 1:7-16 (ESV) Be silent before the Lord God! For the day of the Lord is near; the Lord has prepared a sacrifice and consecrated his guests. And on the day of the Lord's sacrifice —“I will punish the officials and the king's sons and all who array themselves in foreign attire. On that day I will punish everyone who leaps over the threshold, and those who fill their master's house with violence and fraud . “On that day,” declares the Lord, “a cry will be heard from the Fish Gate, a wail from the Second Quarter, a loud crash from the hills. Wail, O inhabitants of the Mortar! For all the traders are no more; all who weigh out silver are cut off. At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the men who are complacent, those who say in their hearts, ‘The Lord will not do good, nor will he do ill.’ Their goods shall be plundered, and their houses laid waste. Though they build houses, they shall not inhabit them; though they plant vineyards, they shall not drink wine from them .” The great day of the Lord is near, near and hastening fast; the sound of the day of the Lord is bitter; the mighty man cries aloud there. A day of wrath is that day, a day of distress and anguish, a day of ruin and devastation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness, a day of trumpet blast and battle cry against the fortified cities and against the lofty battlements. P: This is the Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God.

P: Who considers the power of your anger, and P: You sweep them away as with a flood; they are your wrath according to the fear of you? like a dream, like grass that is renewed in the morning: C: So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. C: in the morning it flourishes and is renewed; in the evening it fades and withers. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and P: For we are brought to an end by your anger; by will be forever. Amen. your wrath we are dismayed.
