With Love We Remember
“If you send out goodness from yourself, or if you share that which is
happy or good within you, it will all come back to you multiplied ten
thousand times. In the kingdom of love there is no competition;
there is no possessiveness or control. The more love you give away,
the more love you will have.”
John O'Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom

MORNING HAS BROKEN
Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the word.
Sweet the rain’s new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the first garden
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass.
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born in the one light Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God’s new creation of the new day.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father, which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation:
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
The power and the glory.
For ever and ever
Amen.
AMAZING GRACE
Amazing grace, (how sweet the sound)
That saved and strengthened me,
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved,
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come,
‘Tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise,
Than when we’d first begun.
