We praise You, Eternal God, Sovereign of the universe, whose word brings
on the evening. With wisdom You open heaven’s gates, and with understand-ing
You make the ages pass and the seasons alternate; Your will controls the
stars as they travel through the skies.
You are Creator of day and night, rolling light away from darkness, and dark-ness
from light; You cause day to pass and bring on the night, separating day
from night; You command the hosts of heaven! May the living and eternal God
rule us always, to the end of time! We praise You, O God, whose word makes eve-ning
fall.
Call to Worship

All this we hold to be true and sure: You alone are our God;
there is none else, and we are Israel Your people.
You are our Sovereign: You deliver us from the hand of oppres-sors,
and save us from the fist of tyrants.
You do wonders without number, marvels that pass our under-standing.
You give us our life; by Your help we survive all who seek our
destruction.
You did wonders for us in the land of Egypt, miracles and
marvels in the land of Pharaoh,
You led Your people Israel out, forever to serve You in freedom.

Mi cha-mo-cha ba-ei-lim, Adonai?
Mi ka-mo-cha, neh-dar ba-ko-desh, no-ra t'hi-lot, o-sei feh-leh?
Mal-chu-t'cha ra-u va-neh-cha, bo-kei-a yam li-f'nei Mo-sheh; zeh
Ei-li! A-nu v'a-m'ru: Adonai yim-loch I'o-lam va-ed! V'neh-eh-mar:
Ki fa-da Adonai et Ya-a-kov, u-g'a-lo mi-yad cha-zak
mi-meh-nu.
Ba-ruch a-ta Adonai, ga-al Yis-ra-eil.
Who is like You, Eternal One, among the gods that are wor-shipped?
Who is like You, majestic in holiness, awesome in splendor, doing
wonders? In their escape from the sea, Your children saw Your sov-ereign
might displayed. "This is my God!" they cried. "The Eternal
will reign for ever and ever!" And it has been said: The Eternal One
delivered Jacob, and redeemed us from the hand of one stronger
than ourselves. We praise You, O God, Redeemer of Israel.
Mi Chamocha
