The Lord's Prayer (traditional)
Our Father which art in heaven |
| Peace candle |
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
Forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those that trespass against us
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
The Lord's Prayer (contemporary)
Abba Father, |
| Pray continually |
you are the One and Only, the great I AM.
Wherever you are, things are right and good and true.
Help us know what to do today, in the here and now,
and give us everything we need to keep going.
Forgive us when we fail and fall short
as we forgive others who hurt us when they fail.
Please don't test us too hard
but rescue us when things get really bad.
Amen

| Jesus: the Word |
Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me.
A Prayer in time of coronavirus
(Prayer on Youtube)From the President of Methodist Conference
A Hymn
(Hymn on YouTube)
My song is love unknown,
My Saviour's love to me;
Love to the loveless shown,
That they might lovely be.
O who am I,
That for my sake
My Lord should take
Frail flesh, and die?
My Saviour's love to me;
Love to the loveless shown,
That they might lovely be.
O who am I,
That for my sake
My Lord should take
Frail flesh, and die?
He came from His blest throne
Salvation to bestow;
But men made strange, and none
The longed-for Christ would know:
But oh, my Friend,
My Friend indeed,
Who at my need
His life did spend.
Salvation to bestow;
But men made strange, and none
The longed-for Christ would know:
But oh, my Friend,
My Friend indeed,
Who at my need
His life did spend.
Sometimes they strew His way,
And His sweet praises sing;
Resounding all the day
Hosannas to their King:
Then "Crucify!"
Is all their breath,
And for His death
They thirst and cry.
And His sweet praises sing;
Resounding all the day
Hosannas to their King:
Then "Crucify!"
Is all their breath,
And for His death
They thirst and cry.
They rise and needs will have
My dear Lord made away;
A murderer they save,
The Prince of life they slay.
Yet cheerful He
To suffering goes,
That He His foes
From thence might free.
My dear Lord made away;
A murderer they save,
The Prince of life they slay.
Yet cheerful He
To suffering goes,
That He His foes
From thence might free.
Here might I stay and sing,
No story so divine;
Never was love, dear King,
Never was grief like Thine.
This is my Friend,
In whose sweet praise
I all my days
Could gladly spend.
No story so divine;
Never was love, dear King,
Never was grief like Thine.
This is my Friend,
In whose sweet praise
I all my days
Could gladly spend.
Shalom
