Let us pray. | 1:48 | |
Almighty God, before whom stand both living | 2:03 | |
and the dead, we, your children | 2:08 | |
whose mortal life is but a hand's breadth, | 2:12 | |
give you thanks this day | 2:16 | |
for all those through whom you have blessed our pilgrimage, | 2:18 | |
for all the lives that have quickened us, | 2:24 | |
whose influences have been a healing grace, | 2:27 | |
for the dear friends and kindred of our homes | 2:32 | |
whose faces we see no more | 2:36 | |
but whose love is with us forever. | 2:39 | |
We lift up our thankful hearts. | 2:42 | |
Oh God, for the teachers and companions | 2:47 | |
of our childhood and youth | 2:50 | |
and for the members of our household of faith | 2:52 | |
who worship you now in heaven, | 2:55 | |
we lift up our hearts in gratitude and praise. | 2:59 | |
For those through whose sacrifice we are able to live, | 3:04 | |
our brothers and sisters who have given their lives | 3:09 | |
for our freedom among the nations, | 3:13 | |
we give thanks and will give thanks | 3:16 | |
that we may hold them in continual remembrance, | 3:20 | |
may think of them as with you in that city | 3:24 | |
whose gates are not shut by day | 3:28 | |
and where there is never night. | 3:31 | |
Oh God, hear us that we may now be dedicated | 3:35 | |
to working for a world where work is rewarded, | 3:39 | |
where our human fears are dispelled | 3:44 | |
and where the nations are made one | 3:48 | |
in the humanity of your kingdom. | 3:51 | |
Oh Lord, save your people and bless this your heritage | 3:55 | |
for day by day we will magnify thee, | 4:00 | |
worshiping your name | 4:04 | |
and praying in the name of Christ | 4:06 | |
who taught us to pray saying. | 4:09 | |
- | Our Father, who art in heaven, | 4:12 |
hallowed be thy name, | 4:15 | |
they kingdom come, they will be done | 4:17 | |
on Earth as it is in heaven. | 4:21 | |
Give us this day our daily bread | 4:23 | |
and forgive us our trespasses | 4:26 | |
as we forgive those who trespass against us | 4:29 | |
and lead us not into temptation | 4:32 | |
but deliver us from evil | 4:35 | |
for thine is the kingdom, and the power | 4:38 | |
and the glory forever. | 4:41 | |
Amen. | 4:43 | |
