Prelude
Hymn 236
O peace of the world, O hope in each breast,
O Bethlehem star that ages have blest,
A day of fresh promise breaks over the land,
Gaunt warfare is doomed, and God’s kingdom at hand!
From cannon and sword shape tillers of soil,
No more let dire hate man’s spirit despoil,
Let Truth be proclaimed, let God’s love be retold,
That men of good will may their brethren uphold.
As stars in their courses never contend,
As blossoms their hues in harmony blend,
As bird voices mingle in joyful refrain,
So God’s loving children in concord remain.
Our God is one Mind, the Mind we adore;
Ineffable joy His love doth outpour;
Let nations be one in a union of love,
God’s bountiful peace, all earth’s treasures above.
Hymn 236. Words: Irving C. Tomlinson. Music: William Croft (HANOVER).

Silent Prayer
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father which art in heaven, 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. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.
Hymn 601
With one accord in one place,
In joyful praise of God’s grace,
We join together in one divine embrace.
A rushing mighty Spirit
Descends from heaven, hear it:
“I have touched your heart
And made whole your heart,
Now go walk in My light.”
All can hear of it,
Hearts revealing it,
Gently moved by Your might.
Of one accord, of one Mind,
Our healing mission we find.
We pray together—our lives in worship bind.
The Comforter is with us;
Its presence here assures us:
“I am guiding you
And uniting you
Through the love of God’s Son.
I am blessing you;
I am healing you;
I am making you one.”
Hymn 601. Words: James R. Corbett. Music: Ryan Vigil (ONE ACCORD).
