What are the best 1st and 2nd level cleric spells for a low-level cleric?

From the core books, ignoring Domain spells:

1) Cure Light Wounds
Protection from Evil

Obscuring Mist and Bless Water are also good.
Cause Fear is worth it till about level 3/4

2)
HOLD PERSON
Augury
Silence
Death Knell if you can cast Evil spells.
Spiritual Weapon

Non Core:
1) Lantern Light
2)Brambles

I like the 2nd level Cleric spell close wounds.

It's very situational; Sanctuary is great if you fight lots of creatures of less H.D. and aren't needed for front-line combat. The boost spells, especially (for a cleric) Bull strength and Owl's wisdom, Silence, and the Cure spells (I especially like Cure moderate).
