COLLECT FOR THE SECOND SUNDAY BEFORE LENT
Almighty God,
give us reverence for all creation and respect for every person, that we
may mirror your likeness in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

HYMN - FATHER OF ALL, WHOSE LAWS HAVE STOOD
Father of all, whose laws have stood
as signposts for our earthly good;
whose Son has come with truth and grace,
your likeness shining in his face

Give us Christ's love,
its depth and length,
its heart and soul
and mind and strength
The first and finest day is yours,
To consecrate all other hours,
All other lords may we disown
And worship bring to you alone

Chorus
Surround our homes with joy and peace
With loyalty and cheerfulness;
Let partners live without pretence
and children grow in confidence

Chorus
May bitter hearts fresh mercy feel
And thieving hands no longer steal;
none damn their neighbour with a lie,
nor stoke the fires of jealousy

Chorus
Father of all, whose laws have stood
as signposts for our earthly good;
whose Son has come with truth and grace,
your likeness shining in his face

Chorus
