St Pauls Church Wibsey TUESDAY NIGHT PRAYER WELCOME

St Paul’s Church, Wibsey TUESDAY NIGHT PRAYER WELCOME TO YOUR CHURCH Together: Growing, Caring, Sharing in God’s Love

WELCOME TO OUR TUESDAY NIGHT PRAYER. This Power. Point presentation will give you all you need to celebrate at home this service. For the Song/Hymn, just click on the titles, and the weblink will open it directly in your computer. The songs are songs of Taizé, to introduce to the quiet of the night. You have the choice between a song in English, a song in Latin, or just an instrumental track. The videos with the songs in English are with or without the lyrics of the song; most videos with the song in Latin are without the lyrics; the videos with just the instrumental track gives the unsung lyrics.

The Psalm can be read by two people or two groups of people if you want. It is a psalm that was said by people during their pilgrimage to Jerusalem, as we prepare ourselves to our going to the heavenly Jerusalem. You may start by lighting a candle.

(Time of quiet to be in presence of the Lord)

Our help is in the name of the Lord, All who made heaven and earth.

SONG OF TAIZE In English (with English translation): ‘Nada te turbe’ In English (without lyrics): ‘The kingdom of God’ In Latin: ‘In manus tua, Pater’ Just instrumental: ‘Wait for the Lord’

(Time of quiet to reflect on the past day)

For your grace at work today in our lives, the Church and the world: All we thank you, Lord our God.

For every sin committed in thought, word, deed and for what we have left undone today: All forgive us, help us to change and give us to walk humbly with you.

From eternity to eternity, you are Lord: All and we proclaim the coming of your reign.

Blessed be God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit: All Blessed be God for ever!

THE WORD OF GOD A light on our path

PSALM Psalm 128 (Good News Version)

Happy are those who obey the LORD, who live by his commands. 2 Your work will provide for your needs; you will be happy and prosperous.

3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine in your home, and your children will be like young olive trees around your table. 4 A man who obeys the LORD will surely be blessed like this.

5 May the LORD bless you from Zion! May you see Jerusalem prosper all the days of your life!

6 May you live to see your grandchildren! Peace be with Israel!

Glory to the Father, by the Son, in the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and shall be for ever. Amen. Or: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and shall be for ever. Amen.

O Christ, our true vine, may we, your branches, be ever fruitful in your service and share your love and peace ; with all your children, in the power of the Spirit and to the glory of the Father. Amen.

READING

16 Let READING us boldly approach God’s throne of grace. Then we will receive mercy. We will find grace to help us when we need it. (Hebrews 4. 16; NIr. V)

Into your hand, O Lord, I commend my spirit, All for you have redeemed me, Lord God of truth. Glory to the Father, by the Son, in the Holy Spirit: All Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and be not wise in your own sight.

(Time of quiet prayer)

All Be present, O merciful God, and protect us through the silent hours of this night, so that we who are tired by the changes of this world, may rest upon you through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER As our Saviour taught us, so we pray with confidence:

(Modern Version) 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. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, now and for ever. Amen. (Traditional Version) Our Father who 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. Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who 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.

SENDING OUT Abide with us, Lord Jesus: All for the night is at hand the day is now past.

The Lord bless us and watch over us, All the Lord make his face shine upon us and be gracious to us. he Lord look kindly on us and give us peace. All Amen.
