God Bless This FamilyFor Emma Patton

God bless this family

Bless is our gathering together 

Bless are our elders clothed in the wonder of your present

We gather in your name

To renew the bond of our union

United by the blood of our ancestors

We give praise to those who have gone before us

Who taught us to be one in the world

We give praise to those who shall truly come,

The unborn young of our future hopes,

That shall proudly carry on our name

In the wonder of our future.

Let us say to each other 

You are my kin my blood runs in your name

And likewise your’s in mine.

I love thee as I love my breath

Body of my body of our familyWe share the world together as one

In the union of our blood

Let us praise thee our Lord

Let the mercies of God be on us all, amen.

 Nothing shall we have to fear from nightly terrors,

rescues us from every treacherous snares

Let us pray, Lord, keep our household under 

Thy protection and let our prayers rise up before thee

Clear us of our manifold guilt, O Lord, bring healing

to a soul that have sinned against thee

Do thou, O Lord, have mercy on us. Thank be to God

for from the clay of the earth the Lord formed man,

 breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and made

him whole

O Lord, fill these lips with praise, to sing the day

long of the glory and the splendor that is thyO Lord, releases us from the bonds of sin, and guards

When our strength ebbs, for the flesh is weak do not

forsake us but set us again upon the path that will win

thy favor 

A true heart is that of our God and with a heart true tothy service; its song, its music are all for thee, Lord

To thee we will sing to you who have strengthened

us. The God who watches over us, our God and all

our hopes of mercy

Who but the Lord is our God? And who are we, but

folks of his making

A high God is the Lord, a king above all gods

Bless art thou in the vault of heaven, we praise thee

from the depth of earth with every breath that we

 breathe

O God of my father’s father blessed is thou holy

name, intercede in our lives according to thou will,

we place our being in your hands and pray for forgiveness in Jesus’ name, amen

We keep thy name in remembrance; till the day of 

 judgment of the souls.

Age after age, nations will do thee honor.God who comes forth by day and night, your will

shall be fulfilled upon the earth among the living.

Behold, you are the shining one.

You hold open for us the pleasures of heaven.

You give us what is necessary to be glorious in the

grace of your light and we ask for no more.

To you who are in full command of the precious lifethat we were given, we say hail God of Gods, the

Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost, who returns to man

his dignity and make us triumphant over the evils of 

our enemies.

We are taken possession by your Holy Spirit that is

ever lasting.

May all adoration be your.

Homage to thee, thou go forth in the peace of our 

hearts and we sing hymns of praise to thee.

O beautiful One, the living God of our fathers

homage to the grace of thy face.

God, who know our inner most hearts; our human

weakness can not stand fast.Grant, we pray thee, almighty God that the dignity of 

humankind may be restored by your grace.

When trouble is closed at hand we have you to

My Protector, My Master My protector, my Master!

Thou Maker, Guide and Lord of all

Free us from torpid heaviness.O God unchanging, by thy power

May our feet stand firm,

For by thy power all things

In being are maintained,

And by thy command hour follow hour

And time's full cycle is ordained.

Listen, you nations far and wide;

Let all the world give hearing

For all the earth shall be filledWith his glory.

He will give the poor redress

when they cry out to him.

The voice of the Lord shall be heard

over the water.

Here, O God, is my sacrifice,

A broken spirit

I offer it unto your grace.

Deliver us, Lord, from our bondage.You the Son of the living God

Kindly as the rain that drops

On the meadow grass.

Thou, our stronghold and our

Refuge, in our hour of peril

Show us the abundance of thy

Compassion; blot out the deed

of our misdeeds.

O God, our divine Deliverer,Save us from the guilt of bloodshed!

Of him, my God, shall my song be

while I am here to sing them.

For us, dear Lord, thy timely mercies be
