Prayer and Lord’s Prayer

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 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,
the power, and the glory
for ever and ever.
Amen.

Hymn CH4 616

1. There's a spirit in the air,
   telling Christians everywhere:
   'Praise the love that Christ revealed,
   living, working, in our world!'
   

2. Lose your shyness, find your tongue,
   tell the world what God has done:
   God in Christ has come to stay.
   Live tomorrow's life today!
   

3. When believers break the bread,
   when a hungry child is fed,
   praise the love that Christ revealed,
   living, working, in our world.
   

4. Still the Spirit gives us light,
   seeing wrong and setting right:
   God in Christ has come to stay.
   Live tomorrow's life today!
   

5. When a stranger's not alone,
   where the homeless find a home,
   praise the love that Christ revealed,
   living, working, in our world.
   

6. May the Spirit fill our praise,
   guide our thoughts and change our ways
   God in Christ has come to stay.
   Live tomorrow's life today!
   

7. There's a Spirit in the air,
   calling people everywhere:
   praise the love that Christ revealed,
   living, working, in our world.

   and lips that we might tell
   how great is God Almighty,

   all things wise and wonderful,
   the Lord God made them all.

CH4 465 Be Thou My Vision

1. Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
   naught be all else to me, save that thou art.
   Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
   waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.
   

2. Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true word;
   I ever with thee, and thou with me, Lord.
   Born of thy love, thy child may I be,
   thou in me dwelling and I one with thee.
   

3. Riches I heed not, nor vain empty praise;
   thou mine inheritance, now and always.
   Thou and thou only, first in my heart,
   Ruler of heaven, my treasure thou art.
   

4. High King of heaven, when vict’ry is won
   may I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heav’n’s Sun!
   Heart of my heart, whatever befall,
   still be my vision, O Ruler of all.
