Intercessory Prayer...
Ministry to the Sick

 

O God of peace,

who taught us that in returning and rest we shall be saved,

in quietness and confidence shall be our strength;

by the might of your Spirit lift us, we pray, to your presence,

where we may be still and know that you are God;

through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

 

We uphold N. before the Throne of Grace

 

Gracious God,

you have heard the prayers of your faithful people;

you know our needs before we ask,

and our ignorance in asking.

Grant our requests as may be best for us.

This we ask in the name of your Son

Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

O gracious Light,

Lord Jesus Christ,

in you the Father's glory shone.

Immortal, holy, blest is he,

and blest are you, his holy Son.

 

Now sunset comes,

but light shines forth;

the lamps are lit to pierce the night.

Praise Father, Son, and Spirit: God

who dwell in the eternal light

 

Worthy are you

of endless praise,

O Son of God, life-giving Lord;

wherefore you are through all the earth

and in the highest heaven adored
