nor distrust your promises who are the truth,
nor rest in anything but you who are the life,
for beyond you there is nothing to be desired
neither in heaven nor in earth.
Amen. ENDING 6May God who clothes the lilies
and feeds the birds of the sky,
who leads the lambs to pasture
and the deer to water,
who multiplied loaves and fishes
and changed water into wine,
lead us, feed us, multiply us,
and change us to reflect
the glory of our Creator
now and through all eternity;
and the blessing of God almighty,
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,
be among us, and remain with us always.
Amen.
ENDING 7
Send us out
Send us out to seek wisdom
Send us out in peace
Send us out
Send us out to do justice
Send us out in hope
Send us out
Send us out to be loving
Send us out in joy
ENDING 8
May the light draw us into life
and stir a longing into our souls.
May the stars shine along our pathway
and lighten the way with prophecy.
May the words of ancient promise
echo in every word we speak.
May the sound of a baby crying
haunt every silence born of apathy.
May incarnation be more than godly flesh
but a fresh way of godly living.
May the Spirit of Christ be born in us
and God make a home among us.
ENDING 9
May the love of the Lord Jesus
draw us to himself
the power of the Lord Jesus
strengthen us in his service,
the joy of the Lord Jesus
fill our hearts;
the purity of the Lord Jesus
bring us back to him...
