      Director: Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

      School: Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

      All: For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

       Recitation in Concert: James 3:3–8 (KJV)

      3 Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.

      4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.

      5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

      6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

      7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:

      8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
