Ak, noglaud ru ̄pju vaigu un manu dzı ̄vi dari ka ̄ skaistu ziedu laiku, ka ̄ jaunu pavasari! Ar katru saules, saules staru, katru lietus la ̄si es zinu, Kungs, Tu manu garu atkal spirdzina ̄si.

Oh, a gentle stroke on the cheek and my life becomes like a beautiful floral season, as a new spring! With each sunlight beam and every drop of rain I know, O Lord, you refresh my spirit again. You will not allow a hair to fall, or cast me to see darkness when the lights go out... You will not allow a single hair to fall without your command; you will not make me go out to see the darkness without lights... With each sunlight beam and every drop of rain I know, O Lord, you refresh my spirit again. Oh, a gentle stroke on the cheek and my life becomes like a beautiful floral season, as a new spring!

Communion Anthem: Да исправится молитва моя, Op. 46, Nº2 (Let My Prayer Arise) – Dmytro Stepanovych Bortniansky (1751 – 1825)

Да исправится молитва моя, яко кадило пред Тобою, воздеяние руку моею – жертва вечерняя. Господи, воззвах к Тебе, услыши мя: вонми гласу моления моего, внегда воззвати ми к Тебе. Положи, Господи, хранение устом моим, и дверь ограждения о устнах моих. Не уклони сердце мое в словеса лукавствия, непщевати вины о гресех, с человеки делающими беззаконие, и не сочтуся со избранными их. (Псалом 141:2, 1, 3, 4) (Church Slavonic) Let my prayer arise before Thee as incense; let the lifting up of my hands be an evening sacrifice. Lord, I have cried to Thee, hear me: attend to the voice of my supplication, when I cry to Thee. Set a watch, O Lord, over my mouth and a strong door about my lips. Incline not my heart to evil words, to make excuses for my sins. (Psalm 141:2, 1, 3, 4)

Offertory Anthem: Greater Love Hath No Man – John Ireland (1879 – 1962)

Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it. Love is strong as death.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, That we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness.

Ye are washed, ye are sanctified, ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation; That ye should show forth the praises of him

who hath call’d you out of darkness into his marvelous light. I beseech you brethren, by the mercies of God,

that you present your bodies, a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto to God, which is your reasonable service.

infunde amorem cordibus, infirma nostri corporis virtute firmans perpeti.

pacemque dones protinus; ductore sic te praevio

vitemus omne noxium.

Per te sciamus da Patrem noscamus atque Filium, te utriusque Spiritum

credamus omni tempore. Amen.

Come, Holy Ghost, Creator, come from thy bright heav'nly throne;

come, take possession of our souls, and make them all thine own.

Thou who art called the Paraclete,

best gift of God above, the living spring, the living fire,

Thou who art sevenfold in thy grace, finger of God's right hand;

his promise, teaching little ones to speak and understand.

V

O guide our minds with thy blest light,

with love our hearts inflame; and with thy strength, which ne'er decays,

confirm our mortal frame.

Far from us drive our deadly foe; true peace unto us bring;

and through all perils lead us safe beneath thy sacred wing.

Through thee may we the Father know,

through thee th'eternal Son, and thee the Spirit of them both,

thrice-blessed three in One. Amen.
