Welcome and Call to Worship

Prayer and Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power, and the glory
for ever and ever.
Amen.

CH4 210 Awake, My Soul, and with the Sun

1. Awake, my soul, and with the sun
   thy daily stage of duty run;
   shake off dull sloth, and early rise
   to pay thy morning sacrifice.
   

2. Lord, I my vows to Thee renew.
   Disperse my sins as morning dew;
   guard my first springs of thought and will;
   and with Thyself my spirit fill.
   

3. Direct, control, suggest, this day,
   all I design or do or say,
   that all my pow'rs, with all their might,
   in Thy sole glory may unite.
   

4. Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
   praise Him all creatures here below;
   praise Him above, ye heav'enly host;
   praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
   

1. Ephesians 4:25-5:2 (Rebecca Hislop)
2. II Samuel 18:5-9, 15, 31-33

CH4 193 God Is Love: His the Care

1. God is love: his the care,
   tending each, ev'rywhere,
   God is love, all is there!
   Jesus came to show him,
   that we all might know him!
   

   Sing aloud, loud, loud!
   sing aloud, loud, loud!
   God is good! God is truth!
   God is beauty! Praise him!
   

2. None can see God above;
   we can share life and love;
   thus may we Godward move,
   finding him in creation,
   holding ev'ry nation.

   Sing aloud, loud, loud!
   sing aloud, loud, loud!
   God is good! God is truth!
   God is beauty! Praise him!

   hope and life brought to birth
   and affirmed human worth,
   for he came to save us
   by the truth he gave us.

   Sing aloud, loud, loud!
   sing aloud, loud, loud!
   God is good! God is truth!
   God is beauty! Praise him!

   light and life, friend and King,
   coming down, love to bring,
   pattern for our duty,
   showing God in beauty.

   Sing aloud, loud, loud!
   sing aloud, loud, loud!
   God is good! God is truth!
   God is beauty! Praise him!

CH4 510 Jesus Calls Us Here to Meet Him vss. 1-3

1. Jesus calls us here to meet him
   as, through word and song and prayer,
   we affirm God’s promised presence
   where his people live and care.
   Praise the God who keeps his promise ;
   praise the Son who calls us friends ;
   praise the Spirit who, among us,
   to our hopes and fears attends.
   

2. Jesus calls us to confess him
   Word of life and Lord of all,
   sharer of our flesh and frailness,
   saving all who fail or fall.
   Tell his holy human story ;
   tell his tales that all may hear ;
   tell the world that Christ in glory
   came to earth to meet us here.
   

3. Jesus calls us to each other,
   vastly different though we are ;
   creed and colour, class and gender
   neither limit nor debar.
   Join the hand of friend and stranger ;
   join the hands of age and youth ;
   join the faithful and the doubter
   in their common search for truth.
