Introduction
Opening Prayer
Hymn 139 – Praise The Lord
Praise the Lord, you heavens, adore Him;
praise Him, angels, in the height;
sun and moon, rejoice before Him,
praise Him, all you stars and light.
Praise the Lord! for He has spoken;
worlds His mighty voice obeyed;
laws which never shall be broken
for their guidance has He made.
Praise the Lord! for He is glorious;
never shall His promise fail;
God has made His saints victorious;
sin and death shall not prevail.
Praise the God of our salvation!
Hosts on high, His power proclaim,
heaven and earth, and all creation,
laud and magnify His Name.
from Psalm 148

Prayers & Lord’s Prayer
Hymn 166 – Lord of all hopefulness
Lord of all hopefulness, Lord of all joy,
whose trust, ever childlike,
no cares could destroy,
be there at our waking, and give us, we pray,
Your bliss in our hearts, Lord,
at the break of the day.
Lord of all eagerness, Lord of all faith,
whose strong hands were skilled
at the plane and the lathe,
be there at our labours, and give us, we pray,
Your strength in our hearts,
Lord, at the noon of the day.
Lord of all kindliness, Lord of all grace,
Your hands swift to welcome,
Your arms to embrace,
be there at our homing, and give us, we pray,
Your Love in our hearts,
Lord, at the eve of the day.
Lord of all gentleness, Lord of all calm,
whose voice is contentment,
whose presence is balm,
be there at our sleeping, and give us, we pray,
Your Peace in our hearts,
Lord, at the end of the day.
Jan Struther (1901-1953)

Comments
Hymn 352 – O for a thousand tongues
O for a thousand tongues, to sing
my great Redeemer’s praise, {x2
the glories of my God and King,
the triumphs of His Grace! {x4
Jesus! the Name that charms our fears,
that bids our sorrows cease; {x2
‘tis music in the sinner’s ears,
‘tis life, and health, and peace. {x4
He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
He sets the prisoner free; {x2
His blood can make the foulest clean,
His blood availed for me. {x4
He speaks, and, listening to His voice,
new life the dead receive, {x2
the mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
the humble poor believe. {x4
Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb,
your loosened tongues employ; {x2
ye blind, behold your Saviour come;
and leap, ye lame, for joy! {x4
My gracious Master and my God,
assist me to proclaim, {x2
to spread through all the earth abroad
the honours of Thy Name. {x4
Charles Wesley (1707-1788)
