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 214 New Every Morning Is the Love

tune: Truro

1. New every morning is the love
   our wakening and uprising prove;
   through sleep and darkness safely brought,
   restored to life and power and thought.
   

2. New mercies, each returning day,
   hover around us while we pray;
   new perils past, new sins forgiven,
   new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.
   

3. If on our daily course our mind
   be set to hallow all we find,
   new treasures still, of countless price,
   God will provide for sacrifice.
   

4. The trivial round, the common task,
   will furnish all we need to ask,
   room to deny ourselves, a road
   to bring us daily nearer God.
   

5. Only, O Lord, in thy dear love
   fit us for perfect rest above;
   and help us, this and every day,
   to live more nearly as we pray.
   

1. Psalm 89:1-4, 15-18
2. Genesis 22:1-14

CH4 7 How Long, O Lord, Will You Forget

(Psalm 13)

1. How long, O Lord, will you forget
   an answer to my prayer?
   No tokens of your love I see;
   your face is turned away from me;
   I wrestle with despair!
   

2. How long, O Lord, will you forsake
   and leave me in this way?
   When will you come to my relief?
   My heart is overwhelmed with grief,
   by evil night and day!
   

3. How long, O Lord? But you forgive
   with mercy from above.
   I find that all your ways are just;
   I learn to praise you and to trust
   in your unfailing love!

Meditation

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,
   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!
