Affirmation of Faith:
Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord;
who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven,
and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father almighty.
From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
Hymn: #508 I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say
From the blue Common Praise hymnal; the congregation is invited to sing.
I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Come unto me and rest;
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down thy head upon my breast.”
I came to Jesus as I was, so weary, worn and sad;
I found in him a resting place and he has made me glad.
I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Behold I freely give
The living water; thirsty one, stoop down and drink and live.”
I came to Jesus and I drank of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, and now I live in him.
I heard the voice of Jesus say, “I am this dark world’s light;
Look unto me, thy morn shall rise, and all thy day be bright.”
I looked to Jesus and I found in him my star, my sun;
And in that light of life I’ll walk ‘til travelling days are done.

The First Collect (for All Souls’):
Father of all, we pray to you for those we love, but see no longer. Grant them your peace, let light
perpetual shine upon them, and in your loving wisdom and almighty power, work in them the good
purpose of your perfect will; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the
Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
The Second Collect:
O God, from whom all holy desires, all good counsels, and all just works do proceed: Give unto thy
servants that peace which the world cannot give; that our hearts may be set to obey thy
commandments, and also that by thee we being defended from the fear of our enemies may pass
our time in rest and quietness; through the merits of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.
The Third Collect:
Lighten our darkness, we beseech thee, O Lord; and by thy great mercy defend us from all perils
and dangers of this night; for the love of thy only Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

A Prayer of Saint Chrysostom:
Almighty God, who hast given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common
supplications unto thee; and dost promise that when two or three are gathered together in thy
Name thou wilt grant their requests: Fulfil now, O Lord, the desires and petitions of thy servants,
as may be most expedient for them; granting us in this world knowledge of thy truth, and in the
world to come life everlasting. Amen.
The Grace:
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit,
be with us all evermore. Amen.
Recessional Hymn: #276 For All the Saints (v. 1, 4-6, 8)
From the blue Common Praise hymnal; the congregation is invited to sing.
For all the saints, who from their labours rest,
who thee by faith before the world confessed,
thy name, O Jesus, be forever blest.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
O blest communion, fellowship divine!
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
yet all are one in thee, for all are thine.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long,
steals on the ear the distant triumph song,
and hearts are brave again, and arms are strong.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
The golden evening brightens in the west;
soon, soon to faithful warriors comes their rest;
sweet is the calm of Paradise the blest.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast,
through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,
singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
