** HYMN: “When Peace Like A River” Stanzas 1 & 4 [428WR]
O Lord our God,
We thank you for the many people throughout the ages ** ASSURANCE OF GOD’S LOVE
Who have followed your way of life joyfully: We believe there is no condemnation
For the many saints and martyrs, men and women, For those who are in Christ Jesus,
-3- And we know that in everything
Who have offered up their very lives, God works for good with those who love God,
so that your life abundant may become manifest. Who are called according to God’s purpose.
For your love and faithfulness we will at all times praise you. We are sure that neither death, nor life,
Nor angels, nor principalities,
O Lord, we thank you for those
Nor things present, nor thing to come,
who chose the way of Jesus Christ.
Nor, powers, nor height, nor depth,
In the midst of trial, they held out hope,
Nor anything else in all creation,
In the midst of hatred, they kindled love;
Will be able to separate us
In the midst of persecutions, they witnessed to your power;
From the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
In the midst of despair, they clung to your promise.
Amen.
For your love and faithfulness we will at all times praise
you. ** COMMENDATION AND BENEDICTION
