Prayer
Let us give thanks to our God,
who has delivered us from the dominion of darkness
and made us partakers in the inheritance
of the saints in light.
The light of Christ be with you
And also with you.
Let us give thanks to God
It is right to offer thanks and praise.
Amen.
Prayer
Blessèd are you,
the Living One,
to you be glory and praise for ever!
In the darkness of this passing age,
your saints proclaim the glory of your Kingdom,
revealed among us in Christ, our light.
Open our eyes to behold your presence
and join our song with those of the saints
in praise of all your marvellous deeds,
Creator, Redeemer, and Giver of Life:
Blessèd be God for ever!
Amen
Song for Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kakahi
Peaceful Man - Lyrics
To have a dream, a feather dream
Of a fairer hand, but no weaker man
To Cast no stone, you taught to comprehend
With wisdom to let go of difference
Candle on a stand
Peaceful man, you're not forgotten
Peaceful man, you're not forgotten
Still we fight, turn blood to gold
You're not forgotten
No more, so much, eye for an eye
And yesterday's ways are now a relic
The sun will rise and fall again
Many times as it's done
before we learn to listen
Peaceful man, you're not forgotten
Peaceful man, you're not forgotten
Still we fight, turn blood to gold
You're not forgotten.
Collect
God of peace and justice,
you called Te Whiti o Rongomai
to lead his people
to struggle for justice
by peaceful means;
may we defend the rights of the powerless
and build our communities
on the basis of mutual care and love;
through Jesus Christ the prince of peace.
Amen
