Opening Prayer
Hymn 738 – Glorious things of thee are spoken
Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
He whose word cannot be broken
formed thee for His own abode.
On the Rock of Ages founded,
what can shake they sure repose?
With salvation’s walls surrounded,
thou mayest smile at all thy foes.
See! the streams of living waters,
springing from eternal Love,
well supply thy sons and daughters,
and all fear of want remove.
Who can faint while such a river
ever will their thirst assuage –
grace which, like the Lord the Giver,
never fails from age to age?
Saviour, since of Zion’s city
I, through grace, a member am,
let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in Thy Name.
Fading is the worldling’s pleasure,
and all boasted pomp and show;
solid joys and lasting treasure
none but Zion’s children know.
John Newton (1725-1807)

Hymn 535 – Who would true valour see
Who would true valour see,
let him come hither;
one here will constant be,
come wind, come weather;
there’s no discouragement
shall make him once relent
his first avowed intent – to be a pilgrim.
Whoso beset him round
with dismal stories,
do but themselves confound;
his strength the more is.
No lion can him fright;
he’ll with a giant fight,
but he will have a right – to be a pilgrim.
Hobgoblin nor foul fiend
can daunt his spirit;
he knows he at the end
shall life inherit.
Then fancies, fly away;
he’ll fear not what men say;
he’ll labour night and day – to be a pilgrim.
John Bunyan (1628-1688)

Comments
Hymn 519 – Love Divine …
Love Divine, all loves excelling,
Joy of heaven, to earth come down,
fix in us Thy humble dwelling,
all Thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, Thou art all compassion,
pure unbounded Love Thou art;
visit us with Thy salvation,
enter every trembling heart.
Come, Almighty to deliver;
let us all Thy Life receive;
suddenly return, and never,
never more Thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
serve Thee as Thy hosts above,
pray, and praise Thee, without ceasing,
glory in Thy perfect Love.
Finish then Thy new creation:
pure and spotless let us be;
let us see Thy great salvation
perfectly restored in Thee,
changed from glory into glory,
till in heaven we take our place,
till we cast our crowns before Thee,
lost in wonder, love, and praise.
Charles Wesley (1707-1788)
