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 198 Let Us Build a House

1. Let us build a house where love can dwell
   and all can safely live,
   a place where saints and children tell
   how hearts learn to forgive;
   built of hopes and dreams and visions,
   rock of faith and vault of grace;
   here the love of Christ shall end divisions:
   

   All are welcome, all are welcome,
   all are welcome in this place.
   

2. Let us build a house where prophets speak,
   and words are strong and true,
   where all God’s children dare to seek
   to dream God’s reign anew.
   Here the cross shall stand as witness
   and as symbol of God’s grace;
   here as one we claim the faith of Jesus:
   

   All are welcome, all are welcome,
   all are welcome in this place.
   

3. Let us build a house where love is found
   in water, wine and wheat:
   a banquet hall on holy ground,
   where peace and justice meet.
   Here the love of God, through Jesus,
   is revealed in time and space,
   as we share in Christ the feast that frees us:
   

   All are welcome, all are welcome,
   all are welcome in this place.
   

4. Let us build a house where hands will reach
   beyond the wood and stone
   to heal and strengthen, serve and teach,
   and live the Word they’ve known.
   Here the outcast and the stranger
   bear the image of God’s face;
   let us bring an end to fear and danger:
   

   All are welcome, all are welcome,
   all are welcome in this place.
   

5. Let us build a house where all are named,
   their songs and visions heard
   and loved and treasured,
   taught and claimed
   as words within the Word.
   Built of tears and cries and laughter,
   prayers of faith and songs of grace,
   let this house proclaim from floor to rafter:
   

   All are welcome, all are welcome,
   all are welcome in this place.

BAPTISM OF HARRISON COLIN DRUMMOND

Response for Baptism:
We will nurture one another in faith,
uphold one another in prayer,
encourage one another in service

Words of the Blessing Hymn for Baptism:
The Lord bless you, and keep you:
The Lord make his face to shine upon you,
And be gracious unto you:
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace

CH4 549 How Deep the Father’s Love for Us

1. How deep the Father's love for us,
   How vast beyond all measure!
   That He should give His only Son,
   To make a wretch His treasure.
   How great the pain of searing loss!
   The Father turns His face away;
   As wounds which marred the Chosen One
   Bring many sons to glory.
   

2. Behold the man upon a cross:
   My sin upon His shoulders;
   Ashamed I hear my mocking voice
   Call out among the scoffers.
   It was my sin that held Him there
   Until it was accomplished;
   His dying breath has brought me life:
   I know that it is finished.
   

3. I will not boast in anything:
   No gifts, no power, no wisdom;
   But I will boast in Jesus Christ:
   His death and resurrection.
   Why should I gain from His reward?
   I cannot give an answer;
   But this I know with all my heart:
   His wounds have paid my ransom.

Message

CH4 489 Come Down, O Love Divine

1. Come down, O Love Divine,
   seek out this soul of mine,
   and visit it with your own ardour glowing;
   O Comforter, draw near,
   within my heart appear,
   and kindle it, your holy flame bestowing.
   

2. O let it freely burn,
   till earthly passions turn
   to dust and ashes, in its heat consuming;
   and let your glorious light
   shine ever on my sight,
   and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
   

3. Let holy charity
   my outward vesture be,
   and lowliness becomes my inner clothing;
   true lowliness of heart,
   which takes the humbler part,
   and o'er its own shortcomings weeps with loathing.
   

4. And so the yearning strong,
   with which the soul will long,
   shall far outpass the power of human telling;
   we cannot guess its grace,
   till he become the place
   wherein the Holy Spirit makes a dwelling.

CH4 804 You Shall Go Out with Joy

1. You shall go out with joy
   And be led forth with peace
   The mountains and the hills
   Will break forth before you
   There’ll be shouts of joy
   And all the trees of the field
   Will clap, will clap their hands
   

2. And all the trees of the field
   Will clap their hands
   The trees of the field
   Will clap their hands
   The trees of the field
   Will clap their hands
   While you go out with joy
