Welcome and Intimations

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. Psalm 29
2. Luke 3:15-17, 21-22

Meditation

CH4 335 Out of the Flowing River

1. Out of the flowing river
   Jesus ascends
   baptized by John
   waiting the sign.
   

2. Out of the open heavens
   God’s Spirit comes
   down like a dove
   in peace and power.
   

3. Out speaks the voice from heaven:
   ‘You are my Son,
   chosen and loved,
   my own delight’.
   

4. Out through the life of Jesus
   God’s word of love,
   calling in grace,
   comes to our lives.
   

5. Out in the world we live in
   we will make known
   the love revealed
   through God in Christ.

CH4 636 Baptised in Water

1. Baptised in water,
   sealed by the Spirit
   cleansed by the blood of Christ our king;
   heirs of salvation,
   trusting his promise -
   faithfully now God's praise we sing.
   

2. Baptised in water,
   sealed by the Spirit,
   dead in the tomb with Christ our king;
   one with his rising,
   freed and forgiven
   thankfully now God's praise we sing.
   

3. Baptised in water,
   sealed by the Spirit,
   marked with the sign of Christ our king;
   born of one Father,
   we are his children -
   joyfully now God's praise we sing.
