Hymn Selection
Shepherd of Love
Shepherd of Love, You knew I had lost my way;
Shepherd of Love, You cared that I’d gone astray.
You sought and found me, placed around me
Strong arms that carried me home;
No foe can harm me or alarm me, never again will I roam!

Shepherd of love, contentment at last is mine;
Deep in my heart, there’s peace and a joy divine.
The future’s brighter, burden’s lighter,
My cup runs over each day;
Your grace supplied me, now provides me all that I need for the way.

Shepherd of Love, my Savior and Lord and Guide;
Shepherd of Love, forever I’ll stay by Your side.
You sought and found me, placed around me
Strong arms that carried me home;
No foe can harm me, or alarm me, never again will I roam!

Shepherd of Love, my Savior and Lord and Guide,
Shepherd of Love, forever I’ll stay by Your side.

Psalm 126:1-7
When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, *
then were we like those who dream.

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, *
and our tongue with shouts of joy.

Then they said among the nations, *
“The Lord has done great things for them.”

The Lord has done great things for us, *
and we are glad indeed.

Restore our fortunes, O Lord, *
like the watercourses of the Negev.

Those who sowed with tears *
will reap with songs of joy.

Those who go out weeping, carrying the seed, *
will come again with joy, shouldering their sheaves.

The Gloria
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

Malachi 1:11
From the rising of the sun to its setting my Name shall be great among the nations, and in every place incense shall be offered to my Name, and a pure offering; for my Name shall be great among the nations, says the Lord of Hosts.

Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.

The Prayer of Our Lord
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name,
your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as in heaven
Give us today our daily bread
Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, for ever and ever.
Amen.

Lord, hear our prayer; And let our cry come to you.

A few moments of intercessory prayer

Almighty Savior, who at noonday called your servant Saint Paul to be an apostle to the Gentiles: We pray you to illumine the world with the radiance of your glory, that all nations may come and worship you; for you live and reign for ever and ever. Amen.
