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 78 Oh, Set Ye Open Unto Me

(Psalm 118)

1. Oh, set ye open unto me
   the gates of righteousness;
   then will I enter into them,
   and I the Lord will bless.
   

2. This is the gate of God, by it
   the just shall enter in.
   Thee will I praise, who answered me
   and hast my safety been.
   

3. That stone is made head corner-stone,
   which builders did despise:
   this is the doing of the Lord,
   and wondrous in our eyes.
   

4. This is the day God made, in it
   we'll joy triumphantly.
   Save now, I pray thee, Lord; I pray,
   send now prosperity.
   

5. Thou art my God, I'll thee exalt;
   my God, I will thee praise.
   Give thanks to God, for he is good:
   his mercy lasts always.
   

1. Exodus 24:12-18
2. Matthew 17:1-9

CH4 606 Lord, You Sometimes Speak in Wonders

1. Lord, you sometimes speak in wonders
   unmistakable and clear;
   mighty signs to prove your presence,
   overcoming doubt and fear
   

2. Lord, you sometimes speak in whispers,
   still and small and scarcely heard;
   only those who want to listen
   catch the all-important word.
   

3. Lord, you sometimes speak in silence,
   through our loud and noisy day:
   we can know and trust you better
   when we quietly wait and pray.
   

4. Lord, you sometimes speak in Scripture:
   words that summon from the page,
   shown and taught us by your Spirit
   with fresh light for every age.
   

5. Lord, you always speak in Jesus,
   always new yet still the same;
   teach us now more of our Saviour;
   make our lives display his Name

Message

CH4 355 You, Lord, Are Both Lamb and Shepherd

1. You, Lord, are both Lamb and Shepherd.
   You, Lord, are both prince and slave.
   You, peacemaker and swordbringer
   Of the way you took and gave.
   You the everlasting instant;
   You, whom we both scorn and crave.
   

2. Clothed in light upon the mountain,
   Stripped of might upon the cross,
   Shining in eternal glory,
   Beggar’d by a soldier’s toss,
   You, the everlasting instant;
   You, who are both gift and cost.
   

3. You, who walk each day beside us,
   Sit in power at God’s side.
   You, who preach a way that’s narrow,
   Have a love that reaches wide.
   You, the everlasting instant;
   You, who are our pilgrim guide.
   

4. Worthy is our earthly Jesus!
   Worthy is our cosmic Christ!
   Worthy your defeat and vict’ry.
   Worthy still your peace and strife.
   You, the everlasting instant;
   You, who are our death and life.

CH4 448 Shine, Jesus, Shine

1. Lord, the light of Your love is shining
   In the midst of the darkness, shining
   Jesus, Light of the world, shine upon us
   Set us free by the truth You now bring us
   Shine on me, shine on me
   

   Shine, Jesus, shine, fill this land with the Father's glory
   Blaze, Spirit, blaze, set our hearts on fire
   Flow, river, flow, flood the nations with grace and mercy
   Send forth Your word, Lord, and let there be light

   So our faces display Your likeness
   Ever-changing from glory to glory
   Mirrored here, may our lives tell Your story
   Shine on me, shine on me
   

   Shine, Jesus, shine, fill this land with the Father's glory
   Blaze, Spirit, blaze, set our hearts on fire
   Flow, river, flow, flood the nations with grace and mercy
   Send forth Your word, Lord, and let there be light
