  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 608 Spirit of Truth and Grace

    1. Spirit of truth and grace, come to us in this place
      as now in Jesus’ name God’s people gather.
      Open our eyes to see truths that will ever be,
      and in communion draw us close together.

    2. Spirit of joy and peace make all anxieties cease
      with knowledge of the Father’s perfect caring.
      Then may God’s children know love that won’t let us go
      and joy that fills each day, beyond comparing.

    3. Spirit of life and power, revive us in this hour
      and stir our hearts to praise with true devotion.
      Fill us with heavenly fire, and every heart inspire,
      that we may serve the world with your compassion.

  5. CH4 16 The Lord’s My Shepherd

    1. The Lord’s my shepherd, I’ll not want;
      He makes me down to lie
      in pastures green; He leadeth me
      the quiet waters by.

    2. My soul He doth restore again,
      and me to walk doth make
      within the paths of righteousness,
      e’en for His own name’s sake.

    3. Yea, though I walk through death’s dark vale,
      yet will I fear none ill;
      for Thou art with me, and Thy rod
      and staff me comfort still.

    4. My table Thou hast furnished
      in presence of my foes;
      my head Thou dost with oil anoint,
      and my cup overflows.

    5. Goodness and mercy all my life
      shall surely follow me;
      and in God’s house for evermore
      my dwelling-place shall be.

  7. CH4 115 Love Is the Touch of Intangible Joy

    1. Love is the touch of intangible joy;
      love is the force that no fear can destroy;
      love is the goodness we gladly applaud:
      God is where love is for love is of God.

    2. Love is the lilt in a lingering voice;
      love is the hope that can make us rejoice;
      love is the cure for the frightened and flawed:
      God is where love is for love is of God.

    3. Love is the light in a tunnel of pain;
      love is the will to be whole once again;
      love is the trust of a friend on the road:
      God is where love is for love is of God.

    4. Love is the Maker and Spirit and Son;
      love is the kingdom their will has begun;
      love is the path which the saints all have trod:
      God is where love is, for love is of God.

  10. CH4 710 I Have a Dream

    1. “I have a dream”, a man once said,
      “where all is perfect peace;
      where men and women, black and white,
      stand hand in hand, and all unite
      in freedom and in love.”

    2. But in this world of bitter strife
      the dream can often fade;
      reality seems dark as night,
      we catch but glimpses of the light
      Christ sheds on humankind.

    3. Fierce persecution, war, and hate
      are raging everywhere;
      God calls us now to pay the price
      through struggles and through sacrifice
      of standing for the right.

    4. So dream the dreams and sing the songs,
      but never be content:
      for thoughts and words don’t ease the pain:
      unless there’s action, all is vain;
      faith proves itself in deeds.

    5. Lord, give us vision, make us strong,
      help us to do your will;
      don’t let us rest until we see
      your love throughout humanity
      uniting us in peace.
