This is an outline of Service Eleven from Hymns of the Spirit, previously mentioned. I’ve removed a couple of prayers, including the litany, written by Von Ogden Vogt, and which are probably copyrighted. More about what it means later.

The Service may begin with a Chorale, an Introit, a Processional Hymn, or with selected Sentences.

And with thy spirit.
Praise ye the Lord.
The Lord’s name be praised.

Then the Minister may say:
Here endeth the reading of the lesson.
Litany
by the Minister, the responses to be said or sung by the people:
Let us pray. O Lord, show thy mercy upon us.
And grant us thy salvation.
O God, make clean our heart within us.
And take not thy holy Spirit from us.
[Bidding collect, then litany with sung response.]
Prayer

ending with the music of the following chant.
Now unto God, the unseen fount of all our life,

Be glory and majesty, dominion and pow’r, forever and ever. Amen.
