  2. 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.

  3. CH4 704 I Vow to Thee My Country

    1. I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
      entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love:
      the love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
      that lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
      the love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
      the love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.

    2. And there's another country I've heard of long ago,
      most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
      we may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
      her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
      and soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
      and her ways are ways of gentleness and all her paths are peace.

  6. Hymn CH4 600 Spirit of God, Unseen as the Wind

    1. Spirit of God, unseen as the wind,
      gentle as is the dove:
      teach us the truth and help us believe,
      show us the Saviour's love!

    2. You spoke to us - long, long ago -
      gave us the written word;
      we read it still, needing its truth,
      through it God's voice is heard.

      Spirit of God, unseen as the wind,
      gentle as is the dove:
      teach us the truth and help us believe,
      show us the Saviour's love!

    3. Without your help we fail our Lord,
      we cannot live his way;
      we need your power, we need your strength,
      following Christ each day.

      Spirit of God, unseen as the wind,
      gentle as is the dove:
      teach us the truth and help us believe,
      show us the Saviour's love!

  8. CH4 473 Thy Kingdom Come

    1. Thy kingdom come!'--on bended knee
      the passing ages pray;
      and faithful souls have yearned to see
      on earth that kingdom's day.

    2. But the slow watches of the night
      not less to God belong;
      and for the everlasting right
      the silent stars are strong.

    3. And lo, already on the hills
      the flags of dawn appear;
      gird up your loins, ye prophet souls,
      proclaim the day is near:

    4. The day in whose clear-shining light
      all wrong shall stand revealed,
      when justice shall be throned with might,
      and every heart be healed:

    5. When knowledge, hand in hand with peace,
      shall walk the earth abroad,
      the day of perfect righteousness,
      the promised day of God.

  11. CH4 728 God of the Living

    1. God of the living, in whose eyes
      unveiled your whole creation lies,
      all souls are yours; we must not say
      that those are dead who pass away;
      for we believe and know it true,
      our dead are living, Lord, with you.

    2. Released from earthly toil and strife,
      with you is hidden still their life;
      yours are their thoughts, their works, their powers,
      all yours, and yet most surely ours;
      for we believe and know it true,
      our dead are living, Lord, with you.
