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 111 Holy, Holy, Holy

1. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God almighty!
   Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee.
   Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty!
   God in three persons, blessed trinity!
   

2. Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee,
   casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
   cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,
   God ever living through eternity.
   

3. Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide thee,
   though the eye of sinfulness thy glory may not see,
   only thou art holy; there is none beside thee,
   perfect in power, in love, and purity.
   

4. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God almighty!
   All thy works shall praise thy name, in earth, and sky, and sea.
   Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty!
   God in three persons, blessed trinity!
   

1. Isaiah 6:1-13
2. Luke 5:1-11

CH4 606 Lord, You Sometimes Speak in Wonders

1. Lord, you sometimes speak in wonders
   unmistakable and clear;
   mighty signs to prove your presence,
   overcoming doubt and fear
   

2. Lord, you sometimes speak in whispers,
   still and small and scarcely heard;
   only those who want to listen
   catch the all-important word.
   

3. Lord, you sometimes speak in silence,
   through our loud and noisy day:
   we can know and trust you better
   when we quietly wait and pray.
   

4. Lord, you sometimes speak in Scripture:
   words that summon from the page,
   shown and taught us by your Spirit
   with fresh light for every age.
   

5. Lord, you always speak in Jesus,
   always new yet still the same;
   teach us now more of our Saviour;
   make our lives display his Name

Message

CH4 532 Lord, You Have Come to the Seashore

1. Lord, you have come to the seashore,
   neither searching for
   the rich nor the wise,
   desiring only that I should follow.
   

2. O, Lord, with your eyes set upon me,
   gently smiling, you have spoken my name;
   all I longed for I have
   found by the water,
   at your side, I will seek other shores.
   

3. Lord, see my goods, my possessions;
   in my boat you find no power, no wealth.
   Will you accept, then,
   my nets and labour?
   

4. O, Lord, with your eyes set upon me,
   gently smiling, you have spoken my name;
   all I longed for I have
   found by the water,
   at your side, I will seek other shores.
   

5. Lord, take my hands and direct them.
   Help me spend myself
   in seeking the lost,
   returning love for the love you gave me.
   

6. O, Lord, with your eyes set upon me,
   gently smiling, you have spoken my name;
   all I longed for I have
   found by the water,
   at your side, I will seek other shores.
   

7. Lord, as I drift on the waters,
   be the resting place
   of my restless heart,
   my life’s companion,
   my friend and refuge.
   

8. O, Lord, with your eyes set upon me,
   gently smiling, you have spoken my name;
   all I longed for I have
   found by the water,
   at your side, I will seek other shores.

Prayer of Intercession

CH4 251 I the Lord of sea and sky

1. I, the Lord of sea and sky,
   I have heard My people cry;
   all who dwell in dark and sin
   My hand will save.
   I who made the stars of night,
   I will make their darkness bright.
   Who will bear My light to them?
   Whom shall I send?
   

   Here I am, Lord.
   Is it I, Lord?
   I have heard You calling in the night.
   I will go, Lord,
   if You lead me;
   I will hold Your people in my heart.
   

2. I, the Lord of snow and rain,
   I have borne My people’s pain;
   I have wept for love of them –
   they turn away.
   I will break their hearts of stone,
   give them hearts for love alone;
   I will speak My word to them.
   Whom shall I send?
   

   Here I am, Lord.
   Is it I, Lord?
   I have heard You calling in the night.
   I will go, Lord,
   if You lead me;
   I will hold Your people in my heart.
   

3. I, the Lord of wind and flame,
   I will tend the poor and lame,
   I will set a feast for them –
   My hand will save.
   Finest bread I will provide
   till their hearts are satisfied;
   I will give My life to them.
   Whom shall I send?
   

   Here I am, Lord.
   Is it I, Lord?
   I have heard You calling in the night.
   I will go, Lord,
   if You lead me;
   I will hold Your people in my heart.
