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 149 Let All Creation Dance
-
Let all creation dance
in energies sublime,
as order turns with chance,
unfolding space and time
for nature's art
in glory grows,
and newly shows
God's mind and heart.
-
Our own amazing earth,
with sunlight, cloud and storms
and life's abundant growth
in lovely shapes and forms,
is made for praise,
a fragile whole,
and from its soul
heav'n's music plays.
-
Lift heart and soul and voice:
in Christ all praises meet
and nature shall rejoice
as all is made complete.
In hope be strong.
All life befriend
and kindly tend
creation's song.

CH4 106 Bring to the Lord a Glad New Song
(Psalm 149-150)
-
Bring to the Lord a glad new song, children of grace, extol your king; worship and praise to God belong — to instruments of music, sing! Let those be warned who spurn God’s name; let rulers all obey God’s word; for justice shall bring tyrants shame: let every creature praise the Lord!
-
Sing praise within these hallowed walls, worship beneath the dome of heaven; by cymbals’ sounds and trumpets’ calls let praises fit for God be given: with strings and brass and wind rejoice — then, join our song in full accord; all living things with breath and voice, let every creature praise the Lord!

CH4 413 The Day of Resurrection
-
The day of resurrection! Earth, tell it out abroad; the passover of gladness, the passover of God! From death to life eternal, from sin's dominion free, our Christ has brought us over with hymns of victory.
-
Our hearts be pure from evil, that we may see aright the Lord in rays eternal of resurrection light; and, listening to his accents, may hear, so calm and plain, his own 'All hail!' and, hearing, may raise the victor strain.
-
Now let the heavens be joyful and earth her song begin, the round world keep high triumph and all that is therein; let all things seen and unseen their notes in gladness blend, for Christ the Lord has risen, our Joy that has no end.

CH4 804 You Shall Go Out with Joy
-
You shall go out with joy
And be led forth with peace
The mountains and the hills
Will break forth before you
There’ll be shouts of joy
And all the trees of the field
Will clap, will clap their hands
-
And all the trees of the field
Will clap their hands
The trees of the field
Will clap their hands
The trees of the field
Will clap their hands
While you go out with joy
