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 583 Safe in the shadow of the Lord
Tune: Richmond
-
Safe in the shadow of the Lord
beneath His hand and power,
I trust in Him,
I trust in Him,
my fortress and my tower.
-
My hope is set on God alone
though Satan spreads his snare;
I trust in Him,
I trust in Him,
to keep me in His care.
-
From fears and phantoms of the night,
from foes about my way,
I trust in Him,
I trust in Him,
by darkness as by day.
-
His holy angels keep my feet
secure from every stone;
I trust in Him,
I trust in Him,
and unafraid go on.
-
Strong in the everlasting name,
and in my Father’s care,
I trust in Him,
I trust in Him,
who hears and answers prayer.
-
Safe in the shadow of the Lord,
possessed by love divine,
I trust in Him,
I trust in Him,
and meet His love with mine.

MP 423 Living under the shadow of his wing
-
Living under the shadow of His wing
we find security.
Standing in His presence we will bring
our worship, worship, worship
to the King.
-
Bowed in adoration at His feet
we dwell in harmony,
voices joined together that repeat,
‘Worthy, worthy, worthy is the Lamb.’
-
Heart to heart embracing in His love
reveals His purity,
soaring in my spirit like a dove;
holy, holy, holy is the Lord.

Meditation
-
MP 712 O soul are you weary and troubled
-
O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s light for a look at the Saviour,
and life more abundant and free!
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
look full in His wonderful face;
and the things of earth
will grow strangely dim
in the light of His glory and grace.
-
Through death into life everlasting
He passed and we follow Him there;
over us sin no more hath dominion.
for more than conquerors we are!
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
look full in His wonderful face;
and the things of earth
will grow strangely dim
in the light of His glory and grace.
-
His word shall not fail you He promised;
believe Him, and all will be well:
then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell.
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
look full in His wonderful face;
and the things of earth
will grow strangely dim
in the light of His glory and grace.

Prayer of Intercession

MP 473 My hope is built on nothing less
-
My hope is built on nothing less
than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
no merit of my own I claim,
but wholly trust in Jesus’ name.
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand –
all other ground is sinking sand.
-
When weary in this earthly race,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
in every wild and stormy gale
my anchor holds and will not fail.
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand –
all other ground is sinking sand.
-
His vow, His covenant and blood
are my defence against the flood;
when earthly hopes are swept away
He will uphold me on that day.
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand –
all other ground is sinking sand.
-
When the last trumpet’s voice shall sound,
O may I then in Him be found!
clothed in His righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before His throne.
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand –
all other ground is sinking sand.
