Lord, make me know Your ways. Lord, teach me Your paths. Make me walk

in Your truth, and teach me: for You are God my Savior. /

Remember Your mercy, Lord, and the love You have shown from of old.

Do not remember the sins of my youth. In Your love remember me,

Because of Your goodness, O Lord. / All: Remember…

The Lord is good and upright. He shows the path to all who stray,

He guides the humble in the right path; He teaches His way to the

poor. / All: Remember…

All: (Hymn 275, vv. 3 & 4)

From sin and shame defend us still, And work in us Thy steadfast

will,
 The cross with patience to sustain, And bravely bear its

utmost pain.

In Thee we trust, in Thee alone; For Thou forsakest not Thine own;

To all the meek Thy strength is giv'n, Who by Thy cross ascend to

heav'n.

* Postlude

Luke 12:16-21 Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: "The ground of

a certain rich man yielded plentifully. And he thought within himself,

saying, "What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?' So

he said, "I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater,

and there I will store all my crops and my goods. And I will say to my

soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your

ease; eat, drink, and be merry." ' But God said to him, "Fool! This

night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things

be which you have provided?' "So is he who lays up treasure for

himself, and is not rich toward God."
