O God of love, O God of peace, Make wars throughout the world to cease; The wrath of the nations now restrain. Give peace, O God, give peace again.
Holy God, Eternal Light, all that is good, and all that is right, impress upon our hearts, we pray, the work and wonder of Christ the LORD … touch our hearts, O God, with your Holy Spirit, revive our faith, deepen our understanding … broaden our minds … help us, we pray, to explore our humanity, to grow in grace, to be the light of the world and the salt of the earth.
Whom shall we trust but Thee, O LORD? Where rest - but on thy faithful word? None ever called on Thee in vain. Give peace, O God, give peace again.
Holy God, Eternal Light, we’re grateful for this place of worship, this time of prayer and praise … the familiar faces of friends and family, to make new friends and chart a new course … to search our souls, consider our lives… to sit at the feet of Jesus, and learn the things that count.
For we are the people whom you have brought to this time and place, dear God. You have called us in Christ, and in Christ, we reply, with all that we are … we are yours, O God … to you we belong … in body and soul, in life and in death. We are yours, O God.
In the name of our LORD Jesus Christ who taught us to pray, saying:
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be 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 debts as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.
