Hab 2:20 But the LORD is in his holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before him.”
http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/e/i/eihushed.htm
The earth is hushed in silence,
Its cares now flee away,
Let all things bow in reverence,
On this the Lord’s own day.
Refrain
O praise and pray on this,
The Lord’s own day.
The bells are sweetly ringing,
Their clear toned voices say:
“Ye people, come and worship
On this, the Lord’s own day.”
Refrain
Come, all ye thankful people;
Why should our hearts delay
To greet the Lord of Heaven
On this His holy day?

The death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God.
He . . . was numbered with the transgressors.—Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many.—He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.—By a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.—He holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.—While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.
Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God.

OH LORD of heaven and earth, I ask that as your people come together to worship you, that you would cause them to search their own hearts and desire to be pleasing in your sight.
I ask you for a heavenly Blessing from your Word, to carry us through this day.
I ask that you would help us to be especially kind and patient today.
Help us to restrain our impatience at the failings of others.
Bring us to that perfect measure of Christ.
I pray that you would hear our prayers and cause us to have hind’s feet in high places today, as we seek your face.
We ask in the mighty Name of Jesus.

This is the day that You have made. May people from all nations gather to sing praises to You and bless You; for only You are worthy of all honor, glory, praise, and blessing. Blessed is Your Holy and Awesome Name. Amen.
