THE OPENING PRAYER
PSALM 23
Crimond
The Lords my Shepherd, Ill
not want,
He makes me down to lie
In pastures green; He leadeth me,
The quiet
waters by.
My soul He doth restore
again
And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of
righteousness,
Een for His own Names sake.
Yea, though I walk in
deaths dark vale
Yet will I fear no ill:
For Thou art with me;
And
Thy rod and staff me comfort still.
My table Thou hast furnished
In presence of
my foes;
My head Thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup
overflows.
Goodness and mercy all my life
Shall surely
follow me;
And in Gods house for evermore
My
dwelling-place shall be.

THE PRAYERS
HYMN
Now thank we all our God,
Now thank we all our God,
With heart and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things has done,
In whom this world rejoices;
Who from our mothers' arms
Has blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours today.
O may this bounteous God
Through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts
And blessed peace to cheer us;
And keep us in his grace,
And guide us when perplexed;
And free us from all ills,
In this world and the next.
All praise and thanks to God
The Father now be given;
The Son, and him who reigns
With them in highest heaven;
The one eternal God,
Whom earth and heaven adore;
For thus it was, is now,
And shall be evermore. Amen.
