as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.

The Lord preserves all those who love him : but he destroys all the wicked.

My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord : let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

Tune our spirits, Lord : to sing out with the sky.

Our Father

Go before us, God, that we may follow in your steps. Go behind us, God, to steer us when we stray. Go beside us, God, as our strength and our joy for the journey. Amen.

May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you : wherever he may send you;

may he guide you through the wilderness : protect you through the storm;

may he bring you home rejoicing : at the wonders he has shown you;

may he bring you home rejoicing : once again into our doors.
