We rejoice in the Lord now by all singing a hymn together. Up to now only needed to mumble our hymn, but since we have practiced together let us do one notch above mumbling.

Don't overdue your rejoicing, people might think you're silly.

Leader picks a hymn and all sing with joy.

Our praise of the greatness of God can now be facilitated by all reading two verses at a time from Psalm 104:1-35. This Psalm is unusual in revealing the harmony God made in His natural and supernatural creation and its interface with man. Who will begin?
Notes
All read two verses until all 35 are read. (Psalm 104:1-35)
