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.

MP 528 O worship the King

Tune: Hanover

1. O Worship the King, all-glorious above;
   O gratefully sing His power and His love;
   our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days,
   pavilioned in splendour, and girded with praise.
   

2. O tell of His might, O sing of His grace,
   whose robe is the light, whose canopy, space;
   His chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form,
   and dark is His path on the wings of the storm.
   

3. The earth, with its store of wonders untold,
   Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old:
   hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree,
   and round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea.
   

4. Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite?
   It breathes in the air, it shines in the light,
   it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
   and sweetly distils in the dew and the rain.
   

5. Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
   in Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail:
   Thy mercies, how tender, how firm to the end,
   our maker, defender, Redeemer, and friend!
   

6. O Lord of all might, how boundless Thy love!
   while angels delight to hymn Thee above,
   the humbler creation, though feeble their lays,
   with true adoration shall sing to Thy praise.
   

1. 10: 46-52

Children’s Talk

MP 730 We have heard a joyful sound

1. We have heard a joyful sound:
   Jesus saves!
   Spread the gladness all around:
   Jesus saves!
   Bear the news to every land,
   climb the steeps and cross the waves;
   Onward! ‘tis our Lord’s command:
   Jesus saves!
   

2. Sing above the battle’s strife:
   Jesus saves!
   By His death and endless life,
   Jesus saves!
   Sing it softly through the gloom,
   when the heart for mercy craves;
   sing in triumph o’er the tomb:
   Jesus saves!
   

3. Give the winds a mighty voice:
   Jesus saves!
   Let the nations now rejoice:
   Jesus saves!
   Shout salvation full and free
   to every strand that ocean laves –
   this our song of victory:
   Jesus saves!

Intimations

MP 506 How great thou art

1. O Lord my God!
   when I in awesome wonder
   consider all the works
   Thy hand hath made,
   I see the stars,
   I hear the mighty thunder,
   the power throughout
   the universe displayed;
   

   Then sings my soul,
   my Saviour God, to Thee,
   how great Thou art,
   how great Thou art!
   Then sings my soul,
   my Saviour God, to Thee,
   how great Thou art,
   how great Thou art!
   

2. When through the woods
   and forest glades I wander
   and hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
   when I look down
   from lofty mountain grandeur,
   and hear the brook,
   and feel the gentle breeze;
   

   Then sings my soul,
   my Saviour God, to Thee,
   how great Thou art,
   how great Thou art!
   Then sings my soul,
   my Saviour God, to Thee,
   how great Thou art,
   how great Thou art!
   

3. And when I think
   that God His Son not sparing,
   sent Him to die -
   I scarce can take it in,
   that on the cross
   my burden gladly bearing,
   He bled and died to take away my sin:
   

   Then sings my soul,
   my Saviour God, to Thee,
   how great Thou art,
   how great Thou art!
   Then sings my soul,
   my Saviour God, to Thee,
   how great Thou art,
   how great Thou art!
   

4. When Christ shall come
   with shout of acclamation
   and take me home -
   what joy shall fill my heart!
   Then shall I bow
   in humble adoration
   and there proclaim,
   my God, how great Thou art!
   

   Then sings my soul,
   my Saviour God, to Thee,
   how great Thou art,
   how great Thou art!
   Then sings my soul,
   my Saviour God, to Thee,
   how great Thou art,
   how great Thou art!
