"MASTER, IT IS GOOD FOR US TO BE HERE. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." (He did not know what he was saying.)
While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. A voice came from the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him." When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves, and told no one at that time what they had seen.
(Luke 9:28 - 36, NIV)

O Lord, have mercy upon us.
Thanks be to God.
Forever O Lord, Your Word is firmly set in the heavens.
Lord, I love the habitation of Your house, and the place where Your glory dwells.
Blessed are those who hear the Word of God and keep it.
Lord I love the habitation...
Glory be to the Father...
Lord I love the habitation...

:Te Deum Laudamus:
We praise You, O God; we acknowledge You to be the Lord.
All the earth now worships You, the Father everlasting.
To You all angels cry alound, the heavens and all the powers therein.
To You cherubim and seraphim continually do cry: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Sabaoth; heaven and earth are full of the majesty of Your glory."
The glorious company of the apostles praise You.
The goodly fellowship of the prophets praise You.
The noble army of martyrs praise You.
The holy Church throughout all the world does acknowledge You.
The Father of an infinite majesty; Your adorable, true, and only Son; also the Holy Ghost, the Comforter.
You are the king of glory, O Christ; You are the everlasting Son of the Father.
When You took upon Yourself to deliver man, You humbled Yourself to be born of a virgin.
When You had overcome the sharpness of death, You opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers.
You sit at the right hand of God in the glory of the Father.
We believe that You will come to be our judge.
We therefore pray You to help Your servants, whom You have redeemed with Your precious blood.
Make them to be numbered with Your saints in glory everlasting.
O Lord, save Your people and bless Your heritage.
Govern them and lift them up forever.
Day by day we magnify You.
And we worship Your name forever and ever.
Grant, O Lord, to keep us this day without sin.
O Lord, have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us.
O Lord, let Your mercy be upon us, as our trust is in You!
O Lord, in You have I trusted; let me never be confounded!

:Prayers:
Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed by Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven; give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.

o.O

Is that a chair right behind the priest? Nice little church though.

[gasness1]

Actually, he is a layman. And yeah there's a chair.

[shunin1]

Is this a seminary?  I hear only men's voices.

[waypay1]

I miss this since we got new hymnals!  The Te Deum was the best part of church. :(

[speaks3703]

Why is it that the Te Deum Laudamus is cut off at "...in glory everlasting" in Lutheran Worship? Where did you get the music for the rest of it?
