Processional Hymn

I HEARD THEVOICE OF JESUS SAY (Sunday 9am)
I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Come unto me, and rest;
lay down, thou weary one, lay down
thy head upon my breast.”
I came to Jesus as I was, so weary, worn and sad;
I found in Him a resting-place and He has made me glad.

I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Behold, I freely give
the living water, thirsty one, stoop down, and drink, and live.”
I came to Jesus, and I drank of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched,
my soul revived and now I live in Him.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“I am this dark world’s light.
Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise and all thy day be bright.”
I looked to Jesus and I found in Him my star, my sun:
and in that light of life I’ll walk till trav’lling days are done.

by our love.

We will walk with each other,

We will work with each other,
we will work side by side.We will work with each other,
we will work side by side,
and we’ll guard each one’s dignity
and save each one’s pride.     Refrain

Offertory Hymn

SERVANT SONG (Sunday 9am)
What do you want of me, Lord?
Where do you want me to serve you?
Where can I sing your praises?
I am your song.

Jesus, Jesus, you are the Lord.
Jesus, Jesus, you are the way.

I hear you call my name, Lord,
and I am moved within me.
Your Spirit stirs my deepest self.
Sing your songs in me.  

Jesus, Jesus, you are my Lord.
Jesus, Jesus, you are the way.

Above, below, and around me.
Before, behind and all through me
your Spirit burns deep within me.
Fire my life with your love.  

Jesus, Jesus, be warmth of my heart.
Jesus, Jesus, you are the way

You are the light in my darkness.
You are my strength when I'm weary.
You give me sight when I'm blinded.
Come see for me.

Jesus, Jesus, you are my light.
Jesus, Jesus, you are the way

I am your song and servant,
Singing your praises like Mary.
Surrendered to your spirit
Let it be done to me!

Jesus, Jesus, let it be done to me!
Jesus, Jesus, you are the way

LOVE IS HIS WORD (Sunday 5pm)
Love is His Word, love is His way,
feasting with all, fasting alone,
living and dying, rising again,
love, only love, is His way.

Refrain:
Richer than gold is the love of my Lord;
Better than splendour and wealth.

Love is His way, love is His mark,
Sharing his last Passover feast,
Christ at His table, host to the twelve,
love, only love, is His way.    Refrain

Love is His mark, love is His sign,
Bread for our strength, wine for our joy,
“this is my body, this is my blood”,
love, only love, is His way.    Refrain

Love is His sign, love is His news,
“Do this,” He said, “lest you forget
all my deep sorrow, all my dear blood”.
Love, only love, is His name.   Refrain

Communion Hymn

YET NOT I BUT THROUGH CHRIST IN ME (Sunday 9am)
What gift of grace is Jesus my redeemer
there is no more for heaven now to give.
He is my joy, my righteousness, and freedom
my steadfast love, my deep and boundless peace.

To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus
for my life is wholly bound to His.
Oh, how strange and divine, I can sing, “all is mine”
yet not I, but through Christ in me.

The night is dark but I am not forsaken
for by my side, the Saviour He will stay.
I labour on in weakness and rejoicing
for in my need, His power is displayed.

To this I hold, my Shepherd will defend me
through the deepest valley He will lead.
Oh, the night has been won, and I shall overcome
yet not I, but through Christ in me.

No fate I dread, I know I am forgiven
the future’s sure, the price it has been paid.
For Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon
and He was raised to overflow the grave.

To this I hold, my sin has been defeated
Jesus now and ever is my plea.
Oh, the chains are released, I can sing: “I am free”
yet not I, but through Christ in me.

With every breath I long to follow Jesus
for he has said that He will bring my home.
And day by day I know He will renew me
until I stand with joy before the throne.

To this hold, my hope is only Jesus
all the glory evermore to Him.
When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat
“Yet not I, but through Christ in me.”

To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus
all the glory evermore to Him.
When the is complete, still my lips shall repeat
“yet not I, but through Christ in me.”

When the race is complete, still me lips shall repeat
“Yet not I, but through Christ is me,
yet not I, but through Christ in me,
Yet not I,but through Christ in me.”

DEAR LORD AND FATHER OF MANKIND (Sunday 9am)
Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
forgive our foolish ways:
reclothe us in our rightful mind,
in purer lives Thy service find,
in deeper reverence, praise,
in deeper reverence, praise.

In simpletrust like theirs who heard,
beside the Syrian sea,
the gracious calling of the Lord,
let us, like them, without a word,
rise up and follow Thee,
rise up and follow Thee.

O Sabbath rest by Galilee,
O calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with Thee
the silence of eternity,
interpreted by love,
interpreted by love!

OPEN MY EYES (Sunday 5pm)
Open my eyes, Lord. Help me to see your face.
Open my eyes, Lord. Help me to see.

Open my ears, Lord. Help me to hear your voice.
Open my ears, Lord. Help me to hear.

Open my heart, Lord. Help me to love like you.
Open my heart, Lord. Help me to love.

Bridge:
And the first shall be last,
and our eyes are opened,
and we’ll hear like never before.
And we’ll speak in new ways,
and we’ll see God’s face
in places we’ve never known.

I live within you. Deep in your heart, O Love.
I live within you. Rest now in me.

PEACE IS FLOWING LIKE A RIVER (Sunday 5pm)
Peace is flowing like a river,
flowing out of you and me,
flowing out into the desert,
setting all the captives free.

His love is flowing like a river,
flowing out of you and me,
flowing out into the desert,
setting all the captives free.

His healing’s flowing like a river,
flowing out of you and me,
flowing out into the desert,
setting all the captives free.

His peace is flowing like a river,
flowing out of you and me,
flowing out into the desert,
setting all the captives free.

Recessional Hymn

ALLELUIA! SING TO JESUS (Sunday 9am)
Alleluia! Sing to Jesus! His thesceptre, His the throne;
Alleluia! His the triumph, His the victory alone.
Hark! The songs of peaceful Sion thunder like a mighty flood:
‘Jesus, out of every nation, has redeemed us by his blood.’

Alleluia!Not as orphans are we left in sorrow now;
Alleluia! He is near us; faith believes, nor questions how.
Though the cloud from sight received Him
when the forty days were o'er, shall our hearts forget his promise,
‘I am with you ever more’?

Alleluia! Bread of angels, and on earth our food, our stay;
Alleluia! Here the sinful come to You from day to day.
Intercessor, friend of sinners, earth’s redeemer, plead for me,
where the songs of all the sinless sweep across the crystal sea.
Music: HYFRYDOL Rowlan Hugh Pritchard (1811-1887). Text: William Chatterton Dix (1837-1898)  Reprinted under One License #A640714. All rights reserved.

JOYFUL, JOYFUL WE ADORE THEE (Sunday 5pm)
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
God of glory, Lord of love!
Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee,
opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,
drive the dark of doubt away;
giver of immortal gladness,
fill us with the light of day.

All Thy works with joy surround Thee,
earth and heaven reflect Thy rays,
stars and angels sing around Thee,
centre of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
flowery meadow, flashing sea,
chanting bird and flowing fountain,
call us to rejoice in Thee.
