Hymn: Amazing Grace
1. Amazing grace
how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost
but now am found
was blind, but now I see
2. 'Twas grace that taught
my heart to fear
and grace my fears relieved
How precious did
that grace appear
the hour I first believed
3. Through many dangers,
toils and snares
I have already come
'Tis grace hath brought me
safe thus far
and grace will lead me home
4. When we’ve been there
ten thousand years,
bright shining as the sun
We’ve no less days
to sing God’s praise
than when we’d first begun

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
Forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those
who trespass against us
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil
For Thine is the kingdom,
the power, and the glory forever,
Amen.

Hymn: Let There Be Peace On Earth
Let there be peace on earth
and let it begin with me
Let there be peace on earth
the peace that was meant to be
With God our creator
children all are we
Let us walk with each other
in perfect harmony
Let peace begin with me
let this be the moment now
With every step I take
let this be my solemn vow
To take each moment
and live each moment
in peace eternally
Let there be peace on earth
and let it begin with me
Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me
an instrument of your peace
where there is hatred
let me sow love
where there is injury, pardon
where there is doubt, faith
where there is despair, hope
where there is darkness, light
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not
so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood,
as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving
that we receive,
it is in pardoning
that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying
that we are born
to Eternal Life.
Amen.
Prayer of Blessing
