Virtual Choir singing ‘Veni Sanctus Spiritus’ (Come Holy Spirit)
Opening Prayer
Hymn 279
Make way, make way for Christ the King
Make way, make way, for Christ the King In splendour arrives.
Fling wide the gates and welcome him Into your lives.
Make way!
Make way!
For the King of kings! Make way!
Make way!
And let his kingdom in!
He comes the broken hearts to heal,
The prisoners to free.
The deaf shall hear, the lame shall dance, The blind shall see.
Make way!
Make way!
For the King of kings!
Make way!
Make way!
And let his kingdom in!
And those who mourn with heavy hearts, Who weep and sigh;
With laughter, joy and royal crown
He’ll beautify.
Make way!
Make way!
For the King of kings! Make way!
Make way!
And let his kingdom in!
We call you now to worship him As Lord of all.
To have no other gods but him: Their thrones must fall!
Make way!
Make way! For the King of kings! Make way!
Make way!
And let his kingdom in!

Prayers & Lord’s Prayer
Kath Aitken
Hymn 474
Hail to the Lord’s anointed
Hail to the Lord’s anointed,
great David’s greater Son!
Hail in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
to set the captive free,
To take away transgression,
and rule in equity.
He comes in succour speedy
to those who suffer wrong,
To help the poor and needy,
and bid the weak be strong.
To give them songs for sighing,
their darkness turn to light,
Whose souls, condemned and dying,
are precious in His sight.
He shall come down like showers
upon the fruitful earth,
Love, joy, and hope, like flowers,
spring in His path to birth.
Before him, on the mountains,
Shall peace, the herald go;
And righteousness in fountains
From hill to valley flow
For him shall prayer unceasing
And daily vows ascend,
His kingdom still increasing,
A kingdom without end.
The dews shall nourish
A seed, in weakness sown,
Whose fruit shall spread and flouring
And shake like Lebanon
O’er every foe victorious,
He on his throne shall rest,
From age to age more glorious,
All blessing and all blest
The time of tide shall never
His covenant remove;
His name shall stand for ever;
That name to us is love

Matthew 13 verses 44 – 52

Hymn 320
Joy to the World
Joy to the world! The Lord is come:
let earth receive her King;
let ev’ry heart prepare him room,
and heav’n and nature sing,
and heav’n and nature sing,
and heav’n, and heav’n and nature sing.
Joy to the earth! The Saviour reigns:
let men their songs employ;
while fields and floods,
rocks, hills, and plains
repeat the sounding joy,
repeat the sounding joy,
repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
No more let sins and sorrows grow,
nor thorns infest the ground;
he comes to make his blessings
flow far as the curse is found,
far as the curse is found,
far as, far as the curse is found.
He rules the world with truth and grace,
and makes the nations prove
the glories of his righteousness
and wonders of his love,
and wonders of his love,
and wonders, wonders of his love.
