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 120 God, We Praise You! God, We Bless You!

1. God, we praise you! God, we bless you!
   God, we name you sov'reign Lord!
   Mighty King whom angels worship,
   Father, by your Church adored:
   All creation shows your glory;
   Heav'n and earth draw near your throne,
   Singing, "Holy, holy, holy,
   Lord of hosts and God alone!"
   

2. True apostles, faithful prophets,
   Saints who set their world ablaze,
   Martyrs, once unknown, unheeded,
   Join one growing song of praise,
   While your Church on earth confesses
   One majestic Trinity:
   Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
   God, our hope eternally.
   

3. Jesus Christ, the King of glory,
   Everlasting Son of God,
   Humble was your virgin mother,
   Hard the lonely path you trod:
   By your cross is sin defeated,
   Hell confronted face to face,
   Heaven opened to believers,
   Sinners justified by grace.
   

4. Christ, at God's right hand victorious,
   You will judge the world you made;
   Lord, in mercy help your servants
   For whose freedom you have paid:
   Raise us up from dust to glory;
   Guard us from all sin today.
   King enthroned above all praises,
   Save your people, God, we pray.

CH4 604 Holy Wisdom, Lamp of Learning

1. Holy Wisdom, lamp of learning,
   bless the light that reason lends.
   Teach us judgment as we kindle
   sparks of thought your Spirit sends.
   Sanctify our search for knowledge
   and the truth that sets us free.
   Come, illumine mind and spirit
   joined in deepest unity.
   

2. Vine of truth, in you we flourish;
   by your grace we learn and grow.
   May the word of Christ among us
   shape our life, your will to know.
   Joined to Christ in living, dying,
   may we help the church convey
   witness to the saving gospel,
   bearing fruit of faith today.
   

3. Holy God, the hope of nations,
   tune us to your righteous will,
   as the symphony of ages
   claims our best, our finest skill.
   Shape our search for peace and justice
   through prophetic deed and word.
   Christ, conduct us, set our rhythm,
   that God’s praise be ever heard.

Meditation

CH4 624 In Christ there is no East

1. In Christ there is no east or west,
   in Him no south or north,
   but one great fellowship of love
   throughout the whole wide earth.
   

2. In Christ shall true hearts everywhere
   their high communion find:
   His service is the golden cord
   close-binding human kind.
   

3. Come brothers, sisters of the faith,
   whate’er your race may be!
   Whoever does my Father’s will
   is surely kin to me.
   

4. In Christ now meet both east and west,
   in Him meet south and north,
   all Christ-like souls are one in Him,
   throughout the whole wide earth.
