God of love and life, look with

Heal us with your love and bring us back to abundant life. Guide us
toward true discipleship and lead us into service that gives life
real meaning. In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.

HYMN NO. 572 Lord, Have Mercy Upon Us

God’s people will hunger and thirst no more.
The lamb will be their shepherd.
The lamb will guide them to the water of life.
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
*Gloria Patri, P. 579
Glory be to the Father, and to
the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.
