| Man | Greeting spaces this earth. | 0:03 |
| This place whose rivers wander and roll to the seas, | 0:07 | |
| whose valleys sound and resound with great silences, | 0:12 | |
| whose mountains are the mountains rejoicing, | 0:19 | |
| whose hills are the hills of hope. | 0:23 | |
| It is You, oh Holy one, | 0:27 | |
| who awakens us and gives us this day, | 0:30 | |
| this season, this moment | 0:32 | |
| and we are thankful. | 0:37 | |
| Come to our prayers, great Lord. | 0:42 | |
| That in them, we may speak boldly | 0:46 | |
| for the needs of one another. | 0:48 | |
| That we may seek Your presence and Your strength, | 0:52 | |
| the mending and renewal of this bent world. | 0:54 | |
| Make of us this day a congregation, | 1:00 | |
| a congregation whose very size, public and private, | 1:04 | |
| are for our own lives to heal | 1:10 | |
| together in love | 1:14 | |
| to give hope | 1:17 | |
| and keep us as a people open to all the varied weathers | 1:19 | |
| that brood in the human heart and soul. | 1:23 | |
| That in us, by Your grace, | 1:29 | |
| the lost and the lonely | 1:33 | |
| and the fearful may find solace and clarity | 1:37 | |
| and new beginnings. | 1:43 | |
| We pray for all who are tossed about | 1:47 | |
| and helpless in the world, | 1:50 | |
| the victims of war and catastrophe | 1:53 | |
| whose lives have been scored by the loss of those they love. | 1:56 | |
| We pray for the pleasure-seekers | 2:01 | |
| who are captive to their own appetites, | 2:04 | |
| for the mentally ill who anguish and fear | 2:08 | |
| and whose anguish and fear are inescapable | 2:14 | |
| whether they are waking or sleeping. | 2:17 | |
| We pray for the poor and impoverished | 2:20 | |
| whose powers and labor are exploited by the rich. | 2:23 | |
| Help of the helpless. | 2:29 | |
| Do abide with them, | 2:32 | |
| giving them comfort by Your love. | 2:35 | |
| And with Your anger quickening the hearts of those | 2:38 | |
| who can change the conditions of life. | 2:41 | |
| Oh Lord, our God, | 2:48 | |
| who speaks Your Word with power | 2:50 | |
| in the person of Jesus, | 2:52 | |
| grant to Your church the power to speak Your Word | 2:56 | |
| faithfully through its life | 2:59 | |
| as well as its doctrine. | 3:02 | |
| Let it be Your instrument of holy discontent | 3:05 | |
| wherever the world is shoddy, | 3:09 | |
| unjust, or callous against Your mercy. | 3:13 | |
| Make of it a herald of Your kingdom, | 3:18 | |
| speaking from the authority of Your promise | 3:21 | |
| that Your Word, having gone forth with power, | 3:24 | |
| will not return empty to You. | 3:29 | |
| May Your church be a haven for the lonely, | 3:33 | |
| a sanctuary for the oppressed, | 3:37 | |
| a servant at all times, both of Your truth, | 3:40 | |
| and of Your covenant. | 3:44 | |
| Through Jesus the Christ, | 3:47 | |
| the rock on which we stand redeemed, | 3:50 | |
| and who teaches us His community of faith this prayer. | 3:53 | |
| Our Father, who art in heaven, | 4:00 | |
| hallowed by Thy name. | 4:03 | |
| Thy kingdom come. | 4:06 | |
| Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. | 4:08 | |
| Give us this day our daily bread. | 4:13 | |
| Forgive our trespasses | 4:16 | |
| as we forgive those who trespass against us. | 4:18 | |
| Lead us not into temptation | 4:22 | |
| but deliver us from evil. | 4:25 | |
| For Thine is the kingdom | 4:27 | |
| and the power and the glory forever. | 4:29 | |
| Amen. | 4:33 | |

| the promptings that we need to be a people of mercy | 10:31 | |
| doing justice and bringing to this earth Your kingdom. | 10:35 | |
| We do pray in the name of Your son, Jesus the Christ, | 10:41 | |
| who is our Lord and our brother. | 10:44 | |

| - | Go out into the world in peace. | 13:50 |
| Have courage, hold onto to what is good. | 13:52 | |
| Return no person evil for evil, | 13:56 | |
| but rather strengthen the faint-hearted. | 14:00 | |
| Support the weak, give help to the suffering. | 14:02 | |
| Honor all men and women | 14:07 | |
| rejoicing in the power of the Holy Spirit. | 14:09 | |
| Now, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ | 14:14 | |
| and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit | 14:17 | |
| may these be with you this day and forever. | 14:20 | |
| Amen. | 14:25 | |
