  2. 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.

  3. Hymn CH4 181 For the beauty of the earth

    1. For the beauty of the earth,
      for the beauty of the skies,
      for the love which from our birth
      over and around us lies.

      Christ our God, to you we raise
      this our sacrifice of praise.

    2. For the beauty of each hour
      of the day and of the night,
      hill and vale, and tree and flower,
      sun and moon and stars of light:

      Christ our God, to you we raise
      this our sacrifice of praise.

    3. For the joy of ear and eye,
      for the heart and mind's delight,
      for the mystic harmony
      linking sense to sound and sight:

      Christ our God, to you we raise
      this our sacrifice of praise.

    4. For the joy of human love,
      brother, sister, parent, child,
      friends on earth, and friends above,
      for all gentle thoughts and mild:

      Christ our God, to you we raise
      this our sacrifice of praise.

    5. For each perfect gift and sign
      of your love so freely given,
      graces human and divine,
      flowers of earth and buds of heaven:

      Christ our God, to you we raise
      this our sacrifice of praise.

  6. CH4 117 Mothering God

    1. Mothering God, you gave me birth,
      in the bright morning of this world.
      Creator, source of every breath,
      you are my rain, my wind, my sun;
      you are my rain, my wind, my sun.

    2. Mothering Christ, you took my form,
      offering me your food of light,
      grain of life, and grape of love,
      your very body for my peace;
      your very body for my peace.

    3. Mothering Spirit, nurturing one,
      in arms of patience hold me close,
      so that in faith I root and grow,
      until I flower, until I know;
      until I flower, until I know.

  8. CH 350 When Jesus the Healer

    1. When Jesus the healer passed through Galilee,
      Heal us, heal us today.
      the deaf came to hear and the blind came to see.
      Heal us, Lord Jesus.

    2. A paralysed man was let down through a roof.
      Heal us, heal us today.
      His sins were forgiven, his walking the proof.
      Heal us, Lord Jesus.

    3. The death of his daughter caused Jairus to weep.
      Heal us, heal us today.
      The Lord took her hand, and he raised her from sleep. Heal us,
      Lord Jesus.

    4. When blind Bartimaeus cried out to the Lord,
      Heal us, heal us today.
      his faith made him whole and his sight was restored.
      Heal us, Lord Jesus.

    5. The twelve were commissioned and sent out in twos,
      Heal us, heal us today.
      to make the sick whole and to spread the good news.
      Heal us, Lord Jesus.

    6. The lepers were healed and the demons cast out.
      Heal us, heal us today.
      A bent woman straightened to laugh and to shout.
      Heal us, Lord Jesus.

    7. There’s still so much sickness and suffering today.
      Heal us, heal us today.
      We gather together for healing, and pray,
      Heal us, Lord Jesus.

  11. Hymn CH4 352 O For a Thousand Tongues

    1. O for a thousand tongues to sing
      my great Redeemer's praise,
      the glories of my God and King,
      the triumphs of his grace!

    2. Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
      that bids our sorrows cease,
      'tis music in the sinner's ears,
      'tis life and health and peace.

    3. He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
      he sets the prisoner free;
      his blood can make the foulest clean;
      his blood availed for me.

    4. He speaks, and listening to his voice,
      new life the dead receive,
      the mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
      the humble poor believe.

    5. Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb,
      your loosened tongues employ;
      ye blind, behold your Saviour come;
      and leap, ye lame, for joy!

    6. My gracious Master and my God,
      assist me to proclaim,
      to spread through all the earth abroad
      the honours of thy name.
