Praise to You Lord Jesus Christ, King of
endless glory

Verse:
One does not live on bread alone,
but on every word that comes forth from the
mouth of God.
PUBLIC
PUBLIC

I believe in one God, the Father

almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of
all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the
Only Begotten Son of God, born of the
Father before all ages. God from God,
Light from Light, true God from true
God, begotten, not made,
consubstantial with the Father; through
him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation he

came down from heaven, and by the
Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin
Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under
Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and
was buried, and rose again on the third
day, in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven, and is seated
at the right hand of the Father.
PUBLIC
PUBLIC

He will come again in glory to judge the

living and the dead and his kingdom will
have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the
giver of life, who proceeds from the
Father and the Son, who with the Father
and the Son is adored and glorified, who
has spoken through the prophets.

PUBLIC

I believe in one, holy, catholic and

apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism
for the forgiveness of sins and I look
forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.

 Tree of Life
Tree of Life and awesome mystery,
In your death we are reborn,
Though you die in all of history,
Still you rise with every morn,
Still you rise with every morn.
 Tree of Life
Seed that dies to rise in glory,
May we see ourselves in you,
If we learn to live your story
We may die to rise anew,
We may die to rise anew.
 Tree of Life
We remember truth once spoken,
Love passed on through act and
word,
Every person lost and broken
Wears the body of our Lord,
Wears the body of our Lord.
 Tree of Life
Gentle Jesus, mighty Spirit,
Come inflame our hearts anew,
We may all your joy inherit
If we bear the cross with you,
If we bear the cross with you.

Celebrant: Pray,
my dear Friends, that my sacrifice

 Lord Who Throughout These Forty Days

1 Lord, who throughout these forty days

For us did fast and pray,
Teach us to overcome our sins,
And close by You to stay.
Lord Who Throughout These Forty Days

2 As You with Satan did contend

And did the vict'ry win,
O give us strength in You to fight,
In You to conquer sin.
Lord Who Throughout These Forty Days

3 And through these days of

penitence,
And through Your Passion-tide,
For evermore, in life and death,
O Lord, with us abide.
