A prayer for the Friends of the Music at St Mary Redcliffe
HEAVENLY Father, source of all beauty and harmony: We give thee thanks for the gift of music which lifts our hearts and enlightens our worship. Bless, we pray thee, the work of the Friends of the Music; May their support bring new delights to our service and new joy to our lives, so that, lost in love and wonder, we may come at last to that place where angels and archangels and all the choirs of heaven sing thy praise for evermore; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
