INTROIT: Paul Mealor A Prayer of King Henry VI

CHAPEL HYMN:

Lead, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom,

Lead thou me on ;

e night is dark, and I am far from home ;

Lead thou me on.

Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see

e distant scene – one step enough for me.

I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou

Shouldst lead me on; I loved to oose and see my path; but now

Lead thou me on.

I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,

Pride ruled my will : remember not past years.

So long thy power hath blessed me, sure it still

Will lead me on,

O’er moor and fen, o’er crag and torrent, till

e night is gone,

And with the morn those angel faces smile,

Whi I have loved long since, and lost awhile. W: B J H C N

T: Lx B (J.B. D)

Chaplain: The Lord be with you.

Choir:

And with thy spirit

Chaplain: Let us pray.

Almighty and most merciful Father; We have erred and strayed from

thy ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and

desires of our own hearts. We have oended against thy holy laws. We

have left undone those things which we ought to have done; And we

have done those things which we ought not to have done; And there is

no health in us. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserableoenders. Spare thou them, O God, which confess their faults. Restore

thou them that are penitent; According to thy promises declared unto


4/8

mankind in Christ Jesu our Lord. And grant, O most merciful Father;

for his sake; That we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober

life; To the glory of thy holy name. Amen.

Almighty and everlasting God, mercifully look upon our inrmities, and

in all our dangers and necessities stretch forth thy right hand to help and

defend us; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O Almighty God, who hast built Thy Church upon the foundation of the

Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the head corner-stone;

Grant us so to be joined together in unity of the spirit by their doctrine,

that we may be an holy temple acceptable to thee; through Jesus Christ

our Lord. Amen.

O Lord, we beseech thee mercifully to receive the prayers of thy people

which shall call upon thee; and grant that they may both perceive and

know what things they ought to do, and also may have grace and power

faithfully to full the same; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

PSALM 84:1-5

How lovely is thy dwelling-place,

O Lord of hosts, to me!

e tabernacles of thy grace

how pleasant, Lord, they be!

My thirsty soul longs veh'mently,

yea faints, thy courts to see:

My very heart and esh cry out,

O living God, for thee.

Behold, the sparrow ndeth out

an house wherein to rest;

e swallow also for herself

hath purased a nest;

Ev'n thine own altars, where she safe

her young ones forth may bring,

O thou almighty Lord of hosts,

who art my God and King.

Blessed are they in thy house that dwell,

they ever give thee praise.

Blessed is the man whose strength thou art,

in whose heart are thy ways:

THE CREED:

We believe that God is Spirit,

And they that worship Him must worship Him

in spirit and in truth.

We believe that God is Light,

And if we walk in the Light, as He is in the light,

we have fellowship one with an other.

We believe that God is Love,

And everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

We believe that Jesus is the Son of God,

And that God hath given us eternal life,

and this life is in His Son.

We believe that we are ildren of God,

And that He hath given us of His Spirit.

We believe that, if we confess our sins,

He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins.

We believe that the world passeth away, and the lust there of,

But he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

eir Gospel of redemption,

Sin pardoned, man restored,

Was all in this enfolded,

One Chur, one Faith, one Lord.

And we, shall we be faithless?

Shall hearts fail, hands hang down?

Shall we evade the conict,

And cast away our crown?

Not so: in God’s deep counsels

Some beer thing is stored:

We will maintain, unining,

One Chur, one Faith, one Lord.

y mercy will not fail us,

Nor leave y work undone;

With y right hand to help us,

e victory shall be won;

And then, by men and angels,

y name shall be adored,

And this shall be their anthem,

One Chur, one Faith, one Lord. W: E.H. P
