Hymn of Adoration – Pass Me Not, O Gentle Saviour

Pass me not, O Gentle Saviour, Hear my humble cry; While on others Thou art

calling, Do not pass me by. Saviour, Saviour, hear my humble cry, While on

others Thou art calling, Do not pass me by. Amen

Responsive Reading – Acts 9: 22, 26-31

Apostles’ Creed I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; The third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven; and sitteth on the right hand of the God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy Catholic Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and life everlasting. Amen
