  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 608 Spirit of Truth and Grace

    1. Spirit of truth and grace, come to us in this place
      as now in Jesus’ name God’s people gather.
      Open our eyes to see truths that will ever be,
      and in communion draw us close together.

    2. Spirit of joy and peace make all anxieties cease
      with knowledge of the Father’s perfect caring.
      Then may God’s children know love that won’t let us go
      and joy that fills each day, beyond comparing.

    3. Spirit of life and power, revive us in this hour
      and stir our hearts to praise with true devotion.
      Fill us with heavenly fire, and every heart inspire,
      that we may serve the world with your compassion.

  5. CH4 16 The Lord’s My Shepherd

    1. The Lord’s my shepherd, I’ll not want;
      He makes me down to lie
      in pastures green; He leadeth me
      the quiet waters by.

    2. My soul He doth restore again,
      and me to walk doth make
      within the paths of righteousness,
      e’en for His own name’s sake.

    3. Yea, though I walk through death’s dark vale,
      yet will I fear none ill;
      for Thou art with me, and Thy rod
      and staff me comfort still.

    4. My table Thou hast furnished
      in presence of my foes;
      my head Thou dost with oil anoint,
      and my cup overflows.

    5. Goodness and mercy all my life
      shall surely follow me;
      and in God’s house for evermore
      my dwelling-place shall be.

  7. CH4 554 Rock of Ages

    1. Rock of ages, cleft for me,
      let me hide myself in Thee;
      let the water and the blood,
      from Thy riven side which flowed,
      be of sin the double cure,
      cleanse me from its guilt and power.

    2. Not the labour of my hands
      can fulfil Thy law’s demands;
      could my zeal no respite know,
      could my tears for ever flow,
      all for sin could not atone;
      Thou must save, and Thou alone.

    3. Nothing in my hand I bring,
      simply to Thy cross I cling;
      naked, come to Thee for dress,
      helpless, look to Thee for grace;
      foul, I to the fountain fly;
      wash me, Saviour, or I die.

    4. While I draw this fleeting breath,
      when mine eyes shall close in death,
      when I soar through tracts unknown,
      see Thee on Thy judgement throne;
      Rock of ages, cleft for me,
      let me hide myself in Thee.

  10. CH4 158 God Moves in a Mysterious Way

    1. God moves in a mysterious way,
      his wonders to perform;
      he plants his footsteps in the sea,
      and rides upon the storm.

    2. Deep in unfathomable mines
      with never-failing skill
      he treasures up his bright designs,
      and works his sovereign will.

    3. You fearful saints, fresh courage take;
      the clouds you so much dread
      are big with mercy, and shall break
      in blessings on your head.

    4. Judge not the Lord by feeble sense
      but trust him for his grace;
      behind a frowning providence
      he hides a smiling face.

    5. Blind unbelief is sure to err,
      and scan his work in vain,
      God is his own interpreter,
      and he will make it plain.
