Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
forgive our foolish ways!
Re-clothe us in our rightful mind,
in purer lives thy service find,
in deeper rev’rence praise,
in deeper rev’rence praise.
In simple trust like theirs who heard,
beside the Syrian sea,
the gracious calling of the Lord,
let us, like them, without a word,
rise up and follow thee,
rise up and follow thee.
O Sabbath rest by Galilee!
O calm of hills above,
Where Jesus knelt to share with thee
The silence of eternity,
Interpreted by love,
interpreted by love!
Drop thy still dews of quietness,
till all our strivings cease;
Take from our souls the strain and stress,
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of thy peace,
the beauty of thy peace.
Breathe through the heats of our desire
Thy coolness and thy balm;
Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
Speak through the earthquake, wind and fire,
O still small voice of calm,
O still small voice of calm.
John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892)
Tune: Repton, Charles H H Parry (1848-1918)
The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.

Absolution
Almighty God,
who forgives all who truly repent,
have mercy upon you,
pardon and deliver you from all your sins,
confirm and strengthen you in all goodness,
and keep you in life eternal;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
The Collect Prayer
Let your merciful ears, O Lord,
be open to the prayers of your humble servants;
and that they may obtain their petitions
make them to ask such things as shall please you;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

Talk
by Revd Alan Bayes
The 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.
God of our pilgrimage,
You have willed that the gate of mercy
should stand open for those who trust in you:
Look upon us with your favour
that we who follow the path of your will
may never wander from the way of life;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Blessing
Go in peace to love and serve the Lord.
In the name of Christ. Amen.
Jesus is Lord!
Creation’s voice proclaims it,
for by his pow’r each tree and flow’r
was planned and made.
Jesus is Lord!
The universe declares it;
sun, moon and stars in heaven cry:
Jesus is Lord!
Jesus is Lord!
Jesus is Lord!
Praise him with hallelujahs,
for Jesus is Lord.
Jesus is Lord!
Yet from his throne eternal
in flesh, he came to die in pain
on Calv’ry’s tree.
Jesus is Lord!
From him all life proceeding
yet gave his life a ransom
this setting us free.
Jesus is Lord!
Jesus is Lord!
Praise him with hallelujahs,
for Jesus is Lord.
Jesus is Lord!
O’er sin the mighty conqu’ror,
from death he rose and all his foes
shall own his name.
Jesus is Lord!
God sends his Holy Spirit
to show by works of power
the Jesus is Lord.
Jesus is Lord!
Jesus is Lord!
Praise him with hallelujahs,
for Jesus is Lord.
