Words and Songs for the Church Year

Collects
      Keep you Church, Lord God, with your continual mercy, and because the frailty of humanity without you cannot but fall, keep us always under your protection, and lead us to everything that makes for our salvation; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. BCP. Trinity 15

      Let us pray [that God will bring peace to the world and freedom to his Church.]
      Lord, guide the course of world events and give you Church the joy and peace of serving you in freedom. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. AAPB

      O God, before whose face we are not made righteous by working at being right. Free us from the need to justify ourselves by our own anxious striving, that we may be abandoned to faith in you alone; through Jesus Christ. Amen. APBA
