MINISTER: I lift up my eyes to the mountains, where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. (Psalm 121.1-2) We meet in the presence of God. We commit ourselves to work in penitence and faith for the reconciliation between the nations, That all people may together, live in freedom, justice & peace. We pray for all who in bereavement, disability and pain, continue to suffer the consequences of fighting and terror. We remember with thanksgiving and sorrow, those whose lives, in world wars, and in conflicts past & present, have been given or taken away. PAUSE 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 T'was grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears, relieved How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed The Lord has promised good to me His Word, my hope secures He will, my shield and portion, be As longs as life endures 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 first begun - Minister: They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning: All: We will remember them. Please pause with us for a minute's silence, to be concluded with The Last Post Minister: When you go home, tell them of us and say: For your tomorrow, we gave our today. - Minister: God grant to the living, grace; The departed, rest; All the world, peace. And the blessing of God Almighty, The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Be among you and remain with you always. All: Amen.
