Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
naught be all else to me, save that Thou art;
Thou my best thought in the day and the night,
waking and sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, be Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, and I Thy true heir,
Thou in me dwelling, and I in thy care.

Be Thou my Breastplate, my Sword for the fight;
be Thou my Armour and be Thou my Might;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, be Thou my high Tower,
raise Thou me heavenward, great Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor all the world’s praise,
Thou mine inheritance through all my days;
Thou, and Thou only, the first in my heart,
King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of heaven, when battle is done,
grant heaven’s joy to me, O bright heaven’s Son;
Christ of my own heart, whatever befall,
still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
This is the day that the Lord has made.
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Introduction

The Collect prayer for the First Sunday after Trinity

O God, the strength of all those who put their trust in you,
mercifully accept our prayers
and, because through the weakness of our mortal nature
we can do no good thing without you,
grant us the help of your grace,
that in the keeping of your commandments
we may please you both in will and deed;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen

Prayers

Grace, mercy and peace form God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Let us offer one another a sign of peace.

Lord. everything in heaven and earth is yours.
All things come from you and of your own do we give you.

The Lord’s Prayer
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.
And 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.

Eternal God,
the light of the minds that know you,
the joy of the hearts that love you,
and the strength of the wills that serve you:
grant us so to know you that we may truly love you,
so to love you that we may truly serve you,
whose service is perfect freedom;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Lord Jesus,
Give us your light in our eyes,
your word on our lips,
and your love in our hearts.
Send us out in the power of your Spirit,
to live and work to your praise and glory. Amen

Blessing

Go in peace to love and serve the Lord.
In the name of Christ. Amen.

Ye servants of God, your Master proclaim,
and publish abroad his wonderful name;
the name all victorious of Jesus extol;
his kingdom is glorious and rules over all.

God ruleth on high, almighty to save;
and still he is nigh; his presence we have;
the great congregation his triumph shall sing,
ascribing salvation to Jesus our King.

Salvation to God, who sits on the throne!
let all cry aloud, and honour the Son;
the praises of Jesus the angels proclaim,
fall down on their faces and worship the Lamb.

Then let us adore, and give him his right:
all glory and power, all wisdom and might,
all honour and blessing, with angels above
and thanks never-ceasing and infinite love.
