Amen.

We who believe, perpetual time shall leave our faith changeless

We who believe, perpetual time shall leave our faith changeless; right and truth are our foundation, for the Lord has brought us deliverance toward all eternity.It was Jesus who stood and cried aloud: If a man is thirsty let him come to me and drink.Be you sober and watch well the devil for he will chip away at the foundation of our deliverance.God of the gentle and humble of heart; Creator of the world and time the world stands in awe of thee.This sacrament this substance of bread and wine is changed into the body and blood of Christ.The Lord’s mercies have never failed us, what return shall we make to him? Amen.

Lord, forgive us our sins, grant, we pray thee

Lord, forgive us our sins, grant, we pray thee, that we may offer thee devout homage, and living loving service.We take thee as our ruler and guide, may we so pass through the good things of good times if we but just call upon thee with a true heart.How gracious the Lord in his new light. How merciful is his grace, how he bless us for we do believe in the holiness of his Son. He have heard the prayers of his servant who are attentive both day and night to the promise of thine sanctuary.
