Hymn

Let all the world in every corner sing,
My God and King!
The heavens are not too high,
His praise may thither fly:
The earth is not too low,
His praises there may grow.
Let all the world in every corner sing,
My God and King!

Let all the world in every corner sign,
My God and King!
The Church with psalms must shout,
No door can keep them out,
But above all the heart
Must bear the longest part.
Let all the world in every corner sing,
My God and King!

Prayer:

0 Lord, who hast given us the renewed opportunity to enjoy the quietness of the
countryside and the comradeship of community within the village, waken our
minds to the benefits we enjoy so that we reach out to one another in Christian
love and resolve for the furtherment of thy kingdom; through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Grant, we beseech thee, Almighty God, that thy family may walk in the ways of
salvation, and, by following the counsels of St. John the Baptist, may come in
safety unto him whom he preached, thy son, Jesus Christ our Lord; who liveth
and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God world without end.
Amen. '

The Blessing
by the Lord Bishop.

V. Let us go forth in peace.
R. In the name of the Lord. Amen.

Recessional Hymn

Now thank we all our God,
With heart and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things hath done,
In whom his world rejoices;
Who from our mother’s arms
Hath blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours today.
