All: With open mouth I pant, because I long for your commandments.
P: Turn to me and be gracious to me, as is your custom toward those who love your name.
All: Keep my steps steady according to your promise, and never let iniquity have dominion over me.
P: Redeem me from human oppression, that I may keep your precepts.
All: Make your face shine upon your servant, and teach me your statutes.

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

Go Now in Peace
Go now in peace, never be afraid,
God will go with you each hour of every day.
Go now in faith, steadfast, strong and true.
Know he will guide you in all you do.
Go now in love and show you believe.
Reach out to others so all the world can see.
God will be there, watching from above.
Go now in peace, in faith and in love.
