To thee, now high exalted, Our melody we raise.

THE LITURGY OF THE PASSION

*THE PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION AND THE LORD’S PRAYER (unison)

God our Redeemer, you sent your son to be born of a woman and to die for

us on a cross; By your Holy Spirit, illumine our lives with your Word so, as

the Scripture is read and proclaimed this day, we may be reconciled and won

wholly to your will; through Jesus Christ our Lord who taught us to pray:

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread;

and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not

into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom,

and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
