Richte mich Gott - Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847)
Richte mich, Gott, und führe meine Sache
wider das unheilige Volk
und errette mich von den falschen und bösen Leuten.
Denn du bist der Gott meiner Stärke; warum verstößest du mich?
Warum lässest du mich so traurig gehen, wenn mich mein Feind dränget?
Sende dein Licht und deine Wahrheit, daß sie mich leiten
und bringen zu deinem heiligen Berg und zu deiner Wohnung,
daß ich hineingehe zum Altar Gottes, zu dem Gott,
der meine Freude und Wonne ist, und dir, Gott;
auf der Harfe danke, mein Gott!
Was betrübest du dich, meine Seele,
und bist so unruhig in mir?
Harre auf Gott; denn ich werde ihm noch danken,
daß er meines Angesichts Hilfe und mein Gott ist.
Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause
against an ungodly people;
from those who are deceitful and unjust
deliver me!
For you are the God in whom I take refuge;
why have you cast me off?
Why must I walk about mournfully
because of the oppression of the enemy?
O send out your light and your truth;
let them lead me;
let them bring me to your holy hill
and to your dwelling.
Then I will go to the altar of God,
to God my exceeding joy;
and I will praise you with the harp,
O God, my God.
Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my help and my God.
Text: Psalm 43
If ye love me - Philip Wilby (b.1949)
If ye love me,
keep my commandments,
and I will pray the Father,
and he shall give you another comforter,
that he may 'bide with you forever,
e'en the spirit of truth.
Text: John 14:15–17

O Trinity most blessed light - Robert Turner (1920-2012)
O Trinity, most blesséd light,
O Unity of sov'reign might,
as now the fiery sun departs,
shed thou thy beams within our hearts.
To thee our morning song of praise,
to thee our evening prayer we raise;
then may our souls for evermore
in lovely reverence adore.
All praise to God the Father be,
all praise, eternal Son, to thee,
whom with the Spirit we adore,
for ever and for evermore.
Amen.
