God of fresh discoveries, tiny cells to furthest space, thank you for your earth and skies; and this house, this special place. God of centuries now past, Lord of unknown years to come, guide us, Saviour, till at last all the ransomed reach their home. God of quietness and peace, calm and rest and Sabbath day, thank you for the silences, time to ponder and to pray. God of sound and music's flow, grant to our community songs of now and long ago in the Spirit's unity. God whose mercy never ends, found in neighbours' loving care, thank you for our dearest friends; in our need, they will be there. God whose Son endured the cross, for our sake becoming poor, for your love poured out for us, praise and glory evermore!
