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 214 New Every Morning Is the Love
-
New every morning is the love
our wakening and uprising prove,
through sleep and darkness safely brought,
restored to life, and power, and thought.
-
New mercies, each returning day,
hover around us while we pray, --
new perils past, new sins forgiven,
new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.
-
If, on our daily course, our mind
be set to hallow all we find,
new treasures still, of countless price,
God will provide for sacrifice.
-
The trivial round, the common task,
will furnish all we ought to ask, --
room to deny ourselves, a road
to bring us daily nearer God.
-
Prepare us, Lord, in your dear love,
for perfect life with you above;
and help us, this and every day,
to live more nearly as we pray.

CH4 18 The Earth Belongs to God Alone
(Psalm 24)
-
The earth belongs to God alone
and all that it contains;
the world and its inhabitants
God's steadfast love maintains.
-
The Lord who brought the world to birth
laid earth's foundations sure,
and firm within the surging seas
established them secure.
-
Who, then, are those who shall ascend
the holy hill of God?
And who is fit to stand within
the presence of the Lord?
-
All those whose hands and hearts are clean,
with no room in their mind
for worthless vanities or vows
of a deceitful kind.
-
These are the people who receive
a blessing from the Lord,
and vindication for their ways
from God, their saving God.
-
O God of Jacob, help us all
who gather in this place,
to seek your presence with us now:
we yearn to see your face.

CH4 740 For All the Saints, Who From Their Labours Rest
-
For all the saints, who from their labors rest;
who thee by faith before the world confessed,
thy name, O Jesus, be forever blest.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
-
Thou wast their rock, their fortress and their might;
thou, Lord, their Captain in the well-fought fight;
thou, in the darkness drear their one true Light.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
-
Oh, may thy soldiers, faithful, true, and bold,
fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,
and win, with them, the victor's crown of gold.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
-
O blest communion, fellowship divine!
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
yet all are one in thee, for all are thine.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
-
And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long,
steals on the ear the distant triumph song,
and hearts are brave again, and arms are strong.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
-
The golden evening brightens in the west;
soon, soon to faithful warriors cometh rest;
sweet is the calm of paradise the blest.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
-
But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day;
the saints triumphant rise in bright array;
the King of glory passes on his way.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
-
From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast,
through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,
singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
