ALL CREATURES OF OUR GOD AND KING (Sunday 9am)
All creatures of our God and King,
lift up your voice and with us sing; alleluia, alleluia!
O burning sun with golden beam, and silver moon with softer gleam:
O praise Him, O praise Him, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Swift rushing wind, you are so strong,
white clouds that glide in heaven along, O praise Him, alleluia!
O rising dawn, in praise rejoice, and lights of evening, find your voice:
O praise Him, O praise Him, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Pure flowing water, cold and clear,
make music for your Lord to hear: alleluia, alleluia!
and fire so masterful and bright, you give us both your warmth and light:
O praise Him, O praise Him, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Let all things their Creator bless, and worship Him in humbleness;
O praise Him, alleluia!
Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son,
And praise the Spirit, Three in One:
O praise Him, O praise Him, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

BE NOT AFRAID (Sunday 5pm)
You shall cross the barren desert,
but you shall not die of thirst.
You shall wander far in safety
though you do not know the way.
You shall speak your words
in foreign lands and all will understand.
You shall see the face of God and live.
Refrain
Be not afraid.
I go before you always.
Come, follow me,
and I will give you rest.
If you pass through raging waters
in the sea, you shall not drown.
If you walk amid the burning flames,
you shall not be harmed.
If you stand before the pow’r of hell
and death is at your side,
know that I am with you through it all. Refrain
Blessed are your poor,
for the Kingdom shall be theirs.
Blest are you that weep and mourn,
for one day you shall laugh.
And if wicked tongues insult and
hate you all because of me,
blessed, blessed, are you! Refrain

I am the Bread of Life.

you who believe in me shall not thirst.
No one can come to me unless the Father beckons.

And I will raise you up, and I will raise you up
and I will raise you up on the last day.
The bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world;
and you who eat of this bread,
you shall live forever; you shall live forever. Refrain
Unless you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man
and drink of his blood, and drink of his blood,
you shall not have life within you. Refrain

If you believe in me, even if you die,
you shall live for ever. Refrain

THE SERVANT SONG (Sunday 9am)
Will you let me be your servant,
let me be as Christ to you;
pray that I may have the grace to
let you be my servant, too.
We are pilgrims on a journey,
fellow travellers on the road;
we are here to help each other
walk the mile and bear the load.
I will hold the Christ-light for you
in the night time of your fear;
I will hold my hand out to you,
speak the peace you long to hear.
I will weep when you are weeping;
when you laugh I’ll laugh with you.
I will share your joy and sorrow
‘till we’ve seen this journey through.
When we sing to God in heaven
we shall find such harmony,
born of all we’ve known together
of Christ’s love and agony.
Will you let me be your servant,
let me be as Christ to you;
pray that I may have the grace to
let you be my servant too.

ON EAGLE’S WINGS (Sunday 5pm)
You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,
who abide in His shadow for life,
say to the Lord “My refuge,
my rock in whom I trust”.
Refrain
And He will raise you up on eagle’s wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun
and hold you in the palm of His hand.
The snare of the fowler will never capture you
and famine will bring you no fear;
under His wings your refuge,
His faithfulness your shield. Refrain
You need not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day;
thou thousands fall about you,
near you it shall not come. Refrain
For to His angels He’s given a command –
to guard you in all of your ways;
upon their hands they will bear you up,
lest you dash your foot against a stone. Refrain

AMAZING GRACE (Sunday 5pm)
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
was blind, but now I see.
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed!
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
‘Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures.

JOYFUL, JOYFUL, WE ADORE THEE (Sunday 9am)
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.
