Opening Prayer

Gracious and loving God, As we commemorate Anzac, we remember all who lost their lives through Australia’s involvement in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations. On ANZAC Day, we especially remember the courageous actions undertaken by the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps during the First World War. On this national day of commemoration, we pray for the airmen, sailors and soldiers who died in battle, sacrificing their lives while on duty. We pay tribute to their bravery and pray for the families who lost loved ones. As we strive for peace in our country and world, help us to become instruments of your peace. We ask this prayer through Christ our Lord.

​

Amen.

All: Thanks be to God

Reading of the Ode.

The Ode will now be read. Please listen carefully to the words. At the end please repeat the words, “We will remember them” and “lest we forget”.

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not wear them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.

ALL: We will remember them. Lest we forget.

ALL: Lest we forget.

Final Prayer

Go out into the world in peace. Be brave; keep hold of what is good. Never pay back wrong for wrong; encourage the faint-hearted. Support the weak and distressed; give due honour to everyone. Be always joyful and give thanks whatever happens, for this is what God wills for you.

​

ALL: Amen.
