Junior Church Prayer

Now our worship here begins, Singing, praying, teaching, hearing:
Let us adore God’s gracious strength and cheering. Let our going out be blest. Bless our Sunday School and Church. Bless, O Lord, our work and rest. Bless our food, our homes our pleasure; Bless the world in greater measure. We ask these things in your name and in the name of your son, Jesus Christ, Amen.

Gloria : Glory in the highest to the God of heaven!
Peace to all your people through the earth be given!
Mighty God and Father, thanks and praise we bring,
singing Alleluia to our heavenly King;

Jesus Christ is risen, God the Father's Son!
With the Holy Spirit, you are Lord alone!
Lamb once slain for sinners, all our guilt to bear,
show us now Your mercy, now receive our prayer;

Christ the world's true Saviour, high and holy One!
Seated now and reigning from your Father's throne;
Lord and God we praise You! Highest heaven adores;

In the Father's glory, all the praise be yours!
