PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW (Sunday 9am)
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
praise Him all creatures here below;
praise Him above, ye heav’nly host:
praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
All hail, adored Trinity;
all praise eternal Unity:
O God the Father, God the Son
and God the Spirit, ever One.
Three Persons praise we evermore,
and Thee th’ eternal One adore:
in Thy sure mercy, ever kind,
may we our true protection find.
O Trinity, O Unity,
be present as we worship Thee;
and to the angel’s songs in light
our prayer and praises now unite.

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD (Sunday 9am)
The Lord is my shepherd and I want to follow,
wherever He leads me, wherever He goes.
Over the mountains, the waters and byways,
valleys and highways, He’s waiting for me.
Refrain:
I want to go to meet him there,
to lay myself down in His love.
The Lord is my shepherd and I want to follow,
wherever He leads me wherever He goes.
And while on the journey to where we are going,
he promised to be there to help us along.
And over the mountains, we’ll walk on together,
to know all the wonders, He’s given to me. Refrain

AUFER A ME (Sunday 9am)
Aufer a me oppróbrium et contémptum
quia a mandáta tua exquisívi, Dóminie:
nam et testimónia medidátio mea est.

AS WE GATHER AT YOUR TABLE (Sunday 9am)
As we gather at your table,
as we listen to your Word,
help us know, O God, your presence;
let our hearts and minds be stirred.
Nourish us with sacred story
till we claim it as our own;
teach us through this holy banquet
how to make Love's victory known.
Turn our worship into witness
in the sacrament of life;
send us forth to love and serve you,
bringing peace where there is strife.
Give us, Christ, your great compassion
to forgive as you forgave;
may we still behold your image
in the world you died to save.
Gracious Spirit help us
summon other guests
to share that feast
where triumphant Love will welcome
those who had been last and least.
There no more will envy
blind us nor will pride
our peace destroy,
as we join with saints and angels
to repeat the sounding joy

O GOD BEYOND ALL PRAISING (Sunday 9am)
O God beyond all praising,
we worship you today
and sing the love amazing
that songs cannot repay;
for we can only wonder
at ev’ry gift you send,
at blessings without number
and mercies without end:
we lift our hearts before you
and wait upon your word,
we honour and adore you,
our great and mighty Lord.
Then hear, O gracious Saviour,
accept the love we bring,
that we who know your favour
may serve you as our king;
and whether our tomorrows
be filled with good or ill,
we’ll triumph through our sorrows
and rise to bless you still:
to marvel at your beauty
and glory in your ways,
and make a joyful duty
our sacrifice of praise.
