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. Wake, and lift up yourself, my heart,
   and with the angels take your part,
   who all night long unwearied sing
   high praise to the eternal King.
   

3. 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.
   

4. 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.
   

5. 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.

CH4 530 One More Step Along the World I Go

1. One more step along the world I go,
   One more step along the world I go;
   From the old things to the new,
   Keep me travelling along with you:
   

   And it's from the old I travel to the new;
   Keep me travelling along with you.
   

2. Round the corners of the world I turn,
   More and more about the world I learn;
   All the new things that I see
   You'll be looking at along with me.
   

   And it's from the old I travel to the new;
   Keep me travelling along with you.
   

3. As I travel through the bad and good,
   Keep me travelling the way I should.
   Where I see no way to go,
   You'll be telling me the way, I know.
   

   And it's from the old I travel to the new;
   Keep me travelling along with you.
   

4. Give me courage when the world is rough,
   Keep me loving though the world is tough;
   Leap and sing in all I do,
   Keep me travelling along with you:
   

   And it's from the old I travel to the new;
   Keep me travelling along with you.
   

5. You are older than the world can be,
   You are younger than the life in me;
   Ever old and ever new,
   Keep me travelling along with you:
   

   And it's from the old I travel to the new;
   Keep me travelling along with you.

CH4 153 Great Is Thy Faithfulness

1. Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father,
   there is no shadow of turning with Thee;
   Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail not,
   as Thou hast been Thou for ever wilt be.
   

   Great is Thy faithfulness,
   great is Thy faithfulness;
   morning by morning new mercies I see;
   all I have needed Thy hand hath provided -
   great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
   

2. Summer and winter, and spring-time and harvest,
   sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
   join with all nature in manifold witness
   to Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
   

   Great is Thy faithfulness,
   great is Thy faithfulness;
   morning by morning new mercies I see;
   all I have needed Thy hand hath provided -
   great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
   

3. Pardon for sin, and a peace that endureth,
   Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
   strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
   blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
   

   Great is Thy faithfulness,
   great is Thy faithfulness;
   morning by morning new mercies I see;
   all I have needed Thy hand hath provided -
   great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

CH4 804 You Shall Go Out with Joy

(Sing Twice)

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

2. And the trees of the field
   shall clap their hands,
   and the trees of the field
   shall clap their hands,
   and the trees of the field
   shall clap their hands,
   and you’ll go out with joy.
