We Rejoice in You, our Merciful Master, Exalting Your Great and Glorious Name. We Love You and Worship You for the Salvation You Give to us in Christ. We Thank You from our Hearts for Your Love, Knowing we Deserve only Wrath and Contempt. You Care for us; You have Cleansed us from Sin, and Made us Pure in Your Holy Sight. Receive our Worship, our King of Grace, and be Magnified in the Eyes of Your Church.
We Lift to Thee our Brethren in Christ, those who are being Slain throughout the Earth. For Thy Name they are Killed, O God, because they have Known Neither Thee, nor Thy Son. Grant Thy Children Comfort, our Lord, and a Strong Sense of Thy Presence of Peace. We Pray for their Protection and Care, and Ask that their Foes be Saved through Jesus Christ. Send Thy Lambs All Help and Aid, and Blanket them with Thy Spirit of Grace.
We Plead for Revival for our People and our Land; Awaken us, and Turn us to our King. O Father of Compassions, we Long that Thy Kingdom will be Filled with Testimonials of Grace. May it be So, Your Excellency, that we will have Even More Cause to Honor Your Name.
Be Pleased, Your Grace, to Pardon our Iniquities and Sins. You are our Only Hope, and we Plead for the Life of our Nation.
May Thy Blessings Abide Over Israel, O Sovereign God. Please Grant them in Thy Kingdom a Place of Grace. Cover them with Protection, our Ever-Merciful Lord.
Please Bless Everyone who Comes Here to Pray, Granting them Manna from the Table of the Lord. We Glorify You, our Most Holy God, and Thank You for Hearing the Prayers of our Hearts. In the King's Name, and for His Glory, amen.
Amen to all the precious prayer.

Comfort, comfort ye My people,
Speak ye peace, thus saith our God;
Comfort those who sit in darkness,
Mourning ’neath their sorrow’s load;
Speak ye to Jerusalem
Of the peace that waits for them;
Tell her that her sins I cover,
And her warfare now is over.
For the herald’s voice is crying
In the desert far and near,
Bidding all men to repentance,
Since the kingdom now is here.
O that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for God a way!
Let the valleys rise to meet Him,
And the hills bow down to greet Him.
Yea, her sins our God will pardon,
Blotting out each dark misdeed;
All that well deserved His anger
He will no more see nor heed.
She has suffered many a day,
Now her griefs have passed away,
God will change her pining sadness
Into ever springing gladness.
Make ye straight what long was crooked,
Make the rougher places plain:
Let your hearts be true and humble,
As befits His holy reign,
For the glory of the Lord
Now o’er the earth is shed abroad,
And all flesh shall see the token
That His Word is never broken.
--Johannes G. Olearius, 1671
Oh Lord,
May our hope be in you alone.
Help us to trust Your Word of Truth by which we live.
Help us to remember that you have not forsaken us and that your loving kindness has redeemed us to Your Kingdom of Light.
Lord you have washed us in your own blood, and made us priests and kings unto God the Father.
To You be glory and dominion for evermore. Amen.
