When my last hour is close at hand. We thank Thee, Jesus, dearest Friend. Welcome, Thou Victor in the strife. HYMN 239 124 228 395 494 507 385 301 72 368 204 515 118 528 197 When Rome had shrouded earth in night. 283 When streaming from the eastern skies. 19 When the day of toil is done. 546 Where wilt thou go, since night draws near. Who knows how near my end may be. Who shall the Lord's elect condemn. Ye servants of the Lord.. Zion mourns in fear and anguish.. 544 511 313 542 501 392 418 128 382 426 566 505 465 We praise Thee, O God. (Te Deum Laudamus.) 571 572 The Lord is my shepherd. (Dominus regit me.) 573 O come, let us sing. (Venite exultemus.) Our Father, which art in. (Lord's Prayer.) Blessed are the poor. (The Beatitudes.). 574 575 576 577 A SHORT FORM FOR HOLY BAPTISM IN CASES OF NECESSITY In urgent cases, in the absence of the Pastor, any Christian may administer Holy Baptism. Take water, call the child by its name, pour or sprinkle the water on the child, saying: I baptize thee in the name of God the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. If there is time, the baptism may be preceded by the following prayer: Eternal, merciful God! We pray Thee extend Thy goodness and mercy unto this child who now asks; open the door to it who knocks, that it may enjoy the everlasting blessing of Thy heavenly washing, and may come to the eternal kingdom which Thou hast prepared through Christ, our Lord! Amen. Our Father who art in heaven. Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation. But deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen. |
