14. For the Healing of the Nations
VU 678

15. For the healing of the nations, God, we pray with one accord; for a just and equal sharing of the things that earth affords. To a life of love in action help us rise and pledge our word.

16. Lead us forward into freedom, from despair your world release; that, redeemed from war and hatred, all may come and go in peace. Show us how through care and goodness fear will die and hope increase.

17. All that kills abundant living, let it from the earth be banned: pride of status, race or schooling, dogmas that obscure your plan. In our common quest for justice may we hallow life’s brief span.

18. You, Creator God, have written your great name on humankind; for our growing in your likeness bring the life of Christ to mind; that, by our response and service, earth its destiny may find.

19. Holy One, you are love. You are the source of all human love, the model for our loving acts, and the very essence of the life force that enables us to co-exist. Help us to celebrate you as love – as the one who empowers us to work for justice and seek fairness in our world. Amen.

21. Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil

23. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, now and forever.

31. Now let the heavens be joyful, let earth its song begin, the round world keep high triumph, and all that is therein; let all things seen and unseen their notes of gladness blend, for Christ indeed is risen, our Joy that has no end.

32. O Creator of the waters, maker of the universe, we call upon your holy and eternal power, the name which is above every name, of your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, who was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate.

33. We pray to you, ruler of our hearts, for your. servants
