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.
Founding Hospital Hymns c.1796, from Psalm 148

Hymn JP94 -If I were a butterfly
If I were a butterfly,
I’d thank You Lord for giving me wings.
And if I were a robin in a tree,
I’d thank You Lord that I could sing.
And if I were a fish in the sea,
I’d wiggle my tail and I’d giggle with glee,
but I just thank You Father for making me ‘me’.
For You gave me a heart
and You gave me a smile.
You gave me Jesus and
You made me Your child.
And I just thank You Father for making me ‘me’.
If I were an elephant,
I’d thank You Lord by raising my trunk.
And of I were a kangaroo,
You know I’d hop right up to You.
And if I were an octopus,
I’d thank You Lord for my fine looks,
but I just thank You Father for making me ‘me’.
For You gave me a heart
and You gave me a smile.
You gave me Jesus and
You made me Your child.
And I just thank You Father for making me ‘me’.
If I were a wiggly-wiggly worm,
I’d thank You Lord that I could squirm.
And if I were a billy goat,
I’d thank You Lord for my strong throat.
And if I were a fuzzy-wuzzy bear,
I’d thank You Lord for my fuzzy-wuzzy hair,
but I just thank You Father for making me ‘me’.
For You gave me a heart
and You gave me a smile.
You gave me Jesus and
You made me Your child.
And I just thank You Father for making me ‘me’.

Prayers & Lord’s Prayer
Hymn JP274 – What a wonderful saviour
What a wonderful Saviour is Jesus,
what a wonderful friend is He,
for He left all the glory of heaven,
came to earth to die on Calvary:
Sing Hosanna! Sing Hosanna!
Sing Hosanna to the King of kings!
Sing Hosanna! Sing Hosanna!
Sing Hosanna to the King.
He arose from the grave, Hallelujah,
and He lives never more to die,
at the Father’s right hand interceding
He will hear and heed our faintest cry:
Sing Hosanna! Sing Hosanna!
Sing Hosanna to the King of kings!
Sing Hosanna! Sing Hosanna!
Sing Hosanna to the King.
He is coming some day to receive us,
we’ll be caught up to heaven above,
what a joy it will be to behold Him,
sing forever of His Grace and Love.
Sing Hosanna! Sing Hosanna!
Sing Hosanna to the King of kings!
Sing Hosanna! Sing Hosanna!
Sing Hosanna to the King.

Hymn MP367 – Jesus is Lord!
Jesus is Lord! Creation’s voice proclaims it,
for by His power each tree and flower
was planned and made.
Jesus is Lord! The universe declares it;
sun, moon and stars in heaven cry: Jesus is Lord!
Jesus is Lord! Jesus is Lord!
Praise Him with ‘Hallelujahs’,
for Jesus is Lord!
Jesus is Lord! Yet from His throne eternal
in flesh He came to die in pain on Calvary’s tree.
Jesus is Lord! From Him all life proceeding,
yet gave His life a ransom, thus setting us free.
Jesus is Lord! Jesus is Lord!
Praise Him with ‘Hallelujahs’,
for Jesus is Lord!
Jesus is Lord! O’er sin the mighty conqueror,
from death He rose and all His foes
shall own His Name.
Jesus is Lord! God sends His Holy Spirit
to show by works of power that Jesus is Lord.
Jesus is Lord! Jesus is Lord!
Praise Him with ‘Hallelujahs’,
for Jesus is Lord!
