1. Welcome and Intimations

  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. CH4 5 How Excellent in All the Earth

    1. O Lord, our Lord, throughout the earth
      how glorious is your name,
      and glorious too where unseen heavens
      your majesty proclaim.
      On infant lips, in children’s song
      a strong defence you raise
      to counter enemy and threat,
      and foil the rebel’s ways.

    2. When I look up and see the stars
      which your own fingers made,
      and wonder at the moon and stars,
      each perfectly displayed;
      then I must ask, “Why do you care?
      Why love humanity?
      And why keep every mortal name
      fixed in your memory?”

    3. Yet such as us you made and meant
      just less than gods to be;
      with honour and with glory, Lord,
      you crowned humanity.
      And then dominion you bestowed
      for all made by your hand,
      all sheep and cattle, birds and fish
      that move through sea or land.

    4. Coda: O Lord, our Lord, throughout the earth
      how glorious is your name!

  5. CH 592 Like the Murmur

    1. Like the murmur of the dove’s song,
      like the challenge of her flight,
      like the vigour of the wind’s rush,
      like the new flame’s eager might:
      Come, Holy Spirit, come.

    2. To the members of Christ’s body,
      to the branches of the vine,
      to the church in faith assembled,
      to our midst as gift and sign:
      Come, Holy Spirit, come.

    3. With the healing of division,
      with the ceaseless voice of prayer,
      with the power to love and witness,
      with the peace beyond compare:
      Come, Holy Spirit, come.

  7. CH4 541 Lord, I Pray, If Today

    1. Lord, I pray, if today
      some should wrong or trouble me,
      make me kind; bring to mind,
      your forgiveness makes me free.

    2. Should there be joy for me,
      help me thank you as I should.
      Let me through all I do
      praise you, Lord, for all things good.

    3. If this day I should stray,
      show my heart the road to take.
      Should I fear, please be near,
      hear my prayer for Jesus' sake.

  10. CH4 622 We Sing a Love That Sets All People Free

    1. We sing a love that sets all people free,
      that blows like wind, that burns like scorching flame,
      enfolds like earth, springs up like water clear:
      come, living love, live in our hearts today.

    2. We sing a love that seeks another’s good,
      that longs to serve and not to count the cost,
      a love that, yielding, finds itself made new:
      come, caring love, live in our hearts today.

    3. We sing a love, unflinching, unafraid
      to be itself, despite another’s wrath,
      a love that stands alone and undismayed:
      come, strengthening love, live in our hearts today.

    4. We sing a love, that, wandering, will not rest
      until it finds its way, its home, its source,
      through joy and sadness pressing on refreshed:
      come, pilgrim love, live in our hearts today.

    5. We sing a burning, fiery, Holy Ghost
      that seeks out shades of ancient bitterness,
      transfiguring these, as Christ in every heart:
      come joyful love, live in our hearts today.
