Welcome and Intimations

Worship is led today by Mr. Bill Henderson

CH4 212 Morning Has Broken

1. Morning has broken
   like the first morning,
   blackbird has spoken
   like the first bird.
   Praise for the singing!
   Praise for the morning!
   Praise for them, springing
   fresh from the Word!
   

2. Sweet the rain’s new fall
   sunlit from heaven,
   like the first dewfall
   on the first grass.
   Praise for the sweetness
   of the wet garden,
   sprung in completeness
   where God’s feet pass.
   

3. Mine is the sunlight!
   Mine is the morning
   born of the one light
   Eden saw play!
   Praise with elation,
   praise every morning,
   God’s recreation
   of the new day!
   

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.

All-Age Message “Abdo”

CH4 167 Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah

1. Guide me, O thou great Jehovah,
   pilgrim through this barren land;
   I am weak, but thou art mighty;
   hold me with thy powerful hand.
   Bread of heaven, bread of heaven,
   feed me till my want is o’er,
   feed me till my want is o’er.
   

2. Open now the crystal fountain,
   whence the healing stream doth flow.
   Let the fire and cloudy pillar
   lead me all my journey through.
   Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
   be thou still my strength and shield,
   be thou still my strength and shield.
   

3. When I tread the verge of Jordan,
   bid my anxious fears subside.
   Death of death, and hell's Destruction,
   land me safe on Canaan's side.
   Songs of praises, songs of praises
   I will ever give to thee,
   I will ever give to thee.
   

1. Habakkuk 1:1-4, 2:1-4
2. 2 Thessalonians 1:1-4, 11-12

Meditation Faithfulness in a bad world

CH4 154 O Lord my God! (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!

CH4 804 You Shall Go Out with Joy

(sing twice)

1. You shall go out with joy
   And be led forth with peace
   The mountains and the hills
   Will break forth before you
   There’ll be shouts of joy
   And all the trees of the field
   Will clap, will clap their hands
   

2. And all the trees of the field
   Will clap their hands
   The trees of the field
   Will clap their hands
   The trees of the field
   Will clap their hands
   While you go out with joy
