Opening Prayer Litany
(based on Psalm 79:1-9)

O Lord, you are the God of our salvation.
We have no hope without you:
Hear us when we call to you.

O Lord, you are the compassionate God
who cared for our ancestors and our parents:
Come now to us to save us, we pray.

O Lord, you are the Changeless God
whom we honour and revere:
We come this day to worship you, O God,
because we trust in your merciful grace. Amen.
