Revisiting Service 11 for future use

 

This is an outline of Service Eleven from Hymns of the Spirit, previously mentioned.  I’ve removed a couple of prayers, including the litany, written by Von Ogden Vogt, and which are probably copyrighted. More about what it means later.

The Service may begin with a Chorale, an Introit, a Processional Hymn, or with selected Sentences.

Let us pray. O Lord, show thy mercy upon us.

And grant us thy salvation.

O God, make clean our heart within us.
