            Musical Response
            O Lord, you are my hope, my trust, Lord, from my youth.

            Leader: In you, O Lord, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame!
            People: In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline your   
                          ear to me, and save me!
            Leader: Be to me a rock of refuge, a strong fortress, to save me,
                          for you are my rock and fortress.

     People: Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the

                  grasp of the unjust and cruel.

     Leader: For you, O Lord, are my hope, my trust, O Lord, from my youth.

     People: Upon you I have leaned from my birth; it was you who took me

                  from my mother's womb. My praise is continually of you.

​

     Musical Response

     O Lord, you are my hope, my trust, Lord, from my youth.

     Leader: I have been an example to many, for you are my strong refuge.

     People: My mouth is filled with your praise and with your glory all day.

     Leader: Do not cast me me off in the time of old age; forsake me not when

                  my strength is spent.

     People: For my enemies speak concerning me,   

     Leader: those who watch for my life consult together, saying,

     People: "God has forsaken him, pursue and seize him,

                  for there is no deliverer."

     Leader: O God, be not far from me;

     People: O my God, make haste to help me!

​

     O Lord, you are my hope, my trust, Lord, from my youth.

The Lord’s Prayer

(Spoken in Unison)

Our Father, which 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 trespasses,

as we forgive them that trespass against us;

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil;

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.

Amen.
