O risen
Christ, ascended Lord
All praise
to You let earth accord:
Alleluia
You are,
while endless ages run
With Father
and with Spirit One
Alleluia[1]
Merciful Father, You gave Your Son Jesus as the heavenly bread of
life. Grant us faith to feast on Him in Your Word and Sacraments that we may be
nourished unto life everlasting; through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, who
lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
You bless the earth to make it fruitful, bringing forth in
abundance whatever is needed for the support of our lives. Prosper the work of
farmers and all those who labor to bring food to our table. Grant them
seasonable weather that they may gather in the fruits of the earth in abundance
and proclaim Your goodness with thanksgiving.

believe and find comfort in the
communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and
the life everlasting.
Almighty God our heavenly Father, through Your dear Son You have
made us all Your witnesses. Enlighten by Your Holy Spirit all who speak to
others the message of salvation through Jesus' blood and merit. Grant Your
blessing upon Russ Fuhrmann so that Your Word may reach out and bear much fruit
for the growth of Your Church
Receive our thanks for Gloria Werling and for all the blessings
You bestowed on [him/her] in this earthly life. Bring us at last to our
heavenly home that with [him/her] we may see You face to face in the joys of
paradise.
I thank You, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear
Son, that You have kept me this night from all harm and danger; and I pray that
You would keep me this day also from sin and every evil, that all my doings and
life may please You. For into Your hands I commend myself, my body and soul,
and all things. Let Your holy angel be with me, that the evil foe may have no
power over me. Amen.
Lord's Prayer
C 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 and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
Introduction to Collects
L O Lord, hear my prayer.
C And let
my cry come to You.
Merciful
God, Your Son, Jesus Christ, was lifted high upon the cross that He might bear
the sins of the world and draw all people to Himself. Grant that we who glory in His death for our
redemption may faithfully heed His call to bear the cross and follow Him, who
lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
O Lord, our heavenly Father, almighty and everlasting God, You
have safely brought us to the beginning of this day. Defend us in the same with
Your mighty power and grant that this day we fall into no sin, neither run into
any kind of danger, but that all our doings, being ordered by Your governance,
may be righteous in Your sight; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who
lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
