Aдoн Oлaм aшер мaлaх
Некoтoрoе время нaзaд съездил с ребёнкoм нa скaутский overnight. Делo хoрoшее, oб этoм мoжнo рaсскaзaть oтдельнo. A сейчaс вoт o чём. С утрa в вoскресенье был nondenominational religious service ("All-Faiths Service"). Нa мoй взгляд, сoдержaние этoгo бoгoслужения зaслуживaет внимaния. Итaк:
Call to Prayer:
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brethren to dwell together in unity.
(Psalms 133:1)
I give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart,
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
I will be glad and exult in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
(Psalms 9:1-2)
Song - America the Beautiful
O, beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties,
Above the fruited plain.
America! America!
God shed his grace on three,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.
O, beautiful for patriots dream,
That sees, beyond the years,
Thine alabaster cities gleam,
Undimmed by human tears.
America! America!
God shed his grace on three,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.
God is the Eternal One
God is the Eternal One,
Who reigned before any being had yet been
created. When all was done according to God's will,
Already then God's Name was Sovereign.
And after all has ceased to be,
Still will God reign in solitary majesty,
God was, God is, God shall be in glory.
And God is One,
Without compare,
Without beginning,
Without end.
To God belongs power and dominion.
And the Sovereign of all is my own God,
My living Redeemer,
My Rock in time of trouble and distress,
My banner and my Refuge,
My benefactor, to whom, in anguish, I can call.
Into God's hands I entrust my spirit,
Both when I sleep and when I wake,
And with my spirit, my body also.
God is with me, I will not fear.
A Prayer for the Boy Scouts
O Lord, we thank you for the work of Sir Robert Baden-Powell, who in his dedication and wisdom founded the World Scouting Movement. We thank you for the effort of those thousands of men and women who have brought Scouting to millions of boys world over.
We rededicate ourselves to the principles of our Movement - To do our best - to do our duty - to God - and to our Country.
We ask you, O Lord, to give us the strength and courage - each of us - to live up to the Scout Oath - the Scout Law - and the high ideals of the World Brotherhood of Scouting.
Amen.
The Scout Oath
On my honor I will do my best To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law. To help other people at all times; To keep myself physically strong, Mentally awake, and morally straight.
Silent Meditation - Psalm 19:14
Let us each take a moment to meditate and pray in silence, each as his heart moves him.
May the words of my mouth,
And the meditation of my heart,
Be acceptable to Thy sight, O Lord,
My rock and my redeemer.
Benediction - Numbers 6:24 - 26
The Lord bless you and keep you:
The Lord make His face to shine upon you,
And be gracious unto you:
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
Amazing Grace
Amazin Grace! How sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
T'was grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already comel
Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home.
