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.

CH4 161 O God, Our Help in Ages Past
-
O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home.
-
Under the shadow of Your throne
Your saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is Your arm alone,
and our defence is sure.
-
Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received her frame,
from everlasting You are God,
to endless years the same.
-
A thousand ages in Your sight
are like an evening gone,
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun.
-
Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
bears all its sons away;
they fly forgotten, as a dream
dies with the dawning day.
-
O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
be our defence while life shall last,
and our eternal home.

CH4 100 O Lord, Thou Art My God and King
(Psalm 145)
-
O Lord, thou art my God and King; thee will I magnify and praise: I will thee bless, and gladly sing unto thy holy name always.
-
Each day I rise I will thee bless, and praise thy name time without end. Much to be praised, and great God is; his greatness none can comprehend.
-
Race shall thy works praise unto race, the mighty acts show done by thee. I will speak of the glorious grace, and honour of thy majesty:
-
Thy wondrous works I will record. By many shall the might be told of all thy awesome acts, O Lord: and I thy greatness will unfold.

CH4 167 Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah
-
Guide me, O thou great Jehovah,
pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but thou art mighty;
hold me with thy powerful hand.
Bread of heaven, bread of heaven,
feed me till my want is o’er.
-
Open now the crystal fountain,
whence the healing stream doth flow.
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
lead me all my journey through.
Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
be thou still my strength and shield,
-
When I tread the verge of Jordan,
bid my anxious fears subside.
Death of death, and hell's Destruction,
land me safe on Canaan's side.
Songs of praises, songs of praises
I will ever give to thee,

CH4 184 Sing to the Lord a Joyful Song
-
Sing to the Lord a joyful song,
lift up your hearts, your voices raise;
to us his gracious gifts belong,
to him our songs of love and praise.
-
For life and love, for rest and food,
for daily help and nightly care,
sing to the Lord, for he is good,
and praise his name, for it is fair.
-
For strength to those who on him wait
his truth to prove, his will to do,
sing to our God, for he is great,
trust in his name, for it is true.
-
For joys untold, that from above
cheer those who love his sweet employ,
sing to our God, for he is love;
exalt his name, for it is joy.
-
Sing to the Lord of heaven and earth,
whom angels serve and saints adore,
the Father, Son, and Spirit blest,
to whom be praise for evermore. Amen.
