Hymn to FreedomWhen every heart Joins every heart And together yearns for liberty, That’s when we’ll be free.When every handJoins every handAnd together molds our destiny, That’s when we’ll be free.Any hour, any day,The time soon will comeWhen all will live in dignity,That’s when we’ll be free.When everyone,Joins in our song,And together singing harmony, That’s when we’ll be free, we'll be free.

In Flanders FieldsRead by Mike Turner and Sgt Esha Mahmood

In Flanders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie

In Flanders Fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders Fields.

Leader: From undue trusting in the

effort to the ways of reconcilia-tion and peace; from a lack of forgiveness for past wrongs;

People: O God, deliver us.Leader: From words and deeds that give

rise to prejudice, fear and hatred, from everything that prevents the human family from fulfilling your promise of peace;

People: O God, deliver us. Amen.

Hymn: O God, Our Help in Ages PastO God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come; Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home.

Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame, From everlasting Thou art God, To endless years the same.

O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Be Thou our guard while troubles last, And our eternal home.
