Welcome and Intimations

Prayer and Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power, and the glory
for ever and ever.
Amen.

CH4 146 From All That Dwell Below the Skies

1. From all that dwell below the skies
   let the Creator’s praise arise:
   Alleluia! Alleluia!
   Let the Redeemer’s name be sung
   through every land, by every tongue:
   Alleluia, Alleluia,
   Alleluia, Alleluia,
   Alleluia!
   

2. Eternal are your mercies, Lord;
   and eternal truth attends your word:
   Alleluia! Alleluia!
   Your praise shall sound from shore to shore
   till suns rise and set no more:
   Alleluia, Alleluia,
   Alleluia, Alleluia,
   Alleluia!
   

1. Numbers 21:4b-9
2. John 3:13-17

CH4 50 The Praises of the Lord Our God

(Psalm 78)

1. The praises of the Lord our God,
   and his almighty strength,
   the wondrous works that he has done,
   we will show forth at length.
   

2. His testimony and his law
   in Israel he did place,
   and charged our forebears it to show
   to their succeeding race;
   

3. So that the race which was to come
   might learn and know them well;
   and generations yet unborn
   might their own children tell:
   

4. That they might set their hope in God,
   and not forget his ways,
   but hold in mind his mighty works
   and keep his laws always.

Prayer of Intercession

CH4 724 Christ's Is the World in which We Move

1. Christ’s is the world in which we move;
   Christ’s are the folk we’re summoned to love;
   Christ’s is the voice which calls us to care,
   and Christ is the one who meets us here.
   

   To the lost Christ shows his face,
   to the unloved he gives his embrace,
   to those who cry in pain or disgrace,
   Christ makes, with his friends, a touching place.
   

2. Feel for the people we most avoid –
   strange or bereaved or never employed.
   Feel for the women and feel for the men
   who fear that their living is all in vain.
   

   To the lost Christ shows his face,
   to the unloved he gives his embrace,
   to those who cry in pain or disgrace,
   Christ makes, with his friends, a touching place.
   

3. Feel for the parents who’ve lost their child,
   feel for the women whom men have defiled,
   feel for the baby for whom there’s no breast,
   and feel for the weary who find no rest.
   

   To the lost Christ shows his face,
   to the unloved he gives his embrace,
   to those who cry in pain or disgrace,
   Christ makes, with his friends, a touching place.
   

4. Feel for the lives by life confused,
   riddled with doubt, in loving abused;
   feel for the lonely heart, conscious of sin,
   which longs to be pure but fears to begin.
   

   To the lost Christ shows his face,
   to the unloved he gives his embrace,
   to those who cry in pain or disgrace,
   Christ makes, with his friends, a touching place.
