- We stand before you, Holy Spirit
Conscious of our imperfections
but aware that we gather in your name
- Come to us, remain with us
Enlighten our hearts and give us light and strength
So that all our decisions may be
Just and fair and in accordance with our Oath of Office
- Guide us by your wisdom,
Support us by your power,
for you are God,
Sharing the glory of Father and Son
- You desire justice for all:
Enable us to uphold the rights of others,
Do not allow us to be misled by ignorance
or corrupted by fear or favour.
Unite us to yourself in the bond of love
and keep us faithful to all that is true.
Amen
