Praying Together at Ascension and Pentecost @St Lukes, Holmes Chapel
O God, make speed to save us;
O Lord, make haste to help us.
Send your Holy Spirit upon us,
And clothe your people with power from on high.
Alleluia.
O God, make speed to save us;
O Lord, make haste to help us.
Let your ways be known on earth,
Your saving power among the nations.
In your resurrection, O Christ,
Let heaven and earth rejoice. Alleluia.
Risen Christ,
You filled your disciples with boldness
And with fresh hope:
Strengthen us to proclaim your risen life
And fill us with your peace,
To the glory of God the Father. Amen.
