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 413 The Day of Resurrection
-
The day of resurrection!
Earth, tell it out abroad;
the passover of gladness,
the passover of God!
From death to life eternal,
from sin's dominion free,
our Christ has brought us over
with hymns of victory.
-
Our hearts be pure from evil,
that we may see aright
the Lord in rays eternal
of resurrection light;
and, listening to his accents,
may hear, so calm and plain,
his own 'All hail!' and, hearing,
may raise the victor strain.
-
Now let the heavens be joyful
and earth her song begin,
the round world keep high triumph
and all that is therein;
let all things seen and unseen
their notes in gladness blend,
for Christ the Lord has risen,
our Joy that has no end.

CH4 606 Lord, You Sometimes Speak in Wonders
-
Lord, you sometimes speak in wonders
unmistakable and clear;
mighty signs to prove your presence,
overcoming doubt and fear
-
Lord, you sometimes speak in whispers,
still and small and scarcely heard;
only those who want to listen
catch the all-important word.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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

CH4 418 Away with Gloom, Away with Doubt!
-
Away with gloom, away with doubt!
With all the morning stars we sing;
with all the hosts of heaven we shout
the praises of a King,
alleluia! alleluia!
of our returning King;
alleluia! alleluia!
of our returning King.
-
Away with death, and welcome life;
in him we died and live again;
and welcome peace, away with strife!
for he returns to reign,
alleluia! alleluia!
the Crucified shall reign;
alleluia! alleluia!
the Crucified shall reign.
-
Then welcome beauty, he is fair;
and welcome youth, for he is young;
and welcome spring; and everywhere
let merry songs be sung,
alleluia! alleluia!
for such a King be sung!
alleluia! alleluia!
for such a King be sung!

CH4 508 I Bind My Heart This Tide
-
I bind my heart this tide
to the Galilean's side,
to the wounds of Calvary,
to the Christ who died for me.
-
I bind my soul this day
to the neighbour far away,
to the stranger near at hand,
in this town, and in this land.
-
I bind my heart and soul
to the God, the Lord of all,
to the God, the poor one's friend,
and the Christ whom he did send.
-
I bind myself to peace,
to make strife and envy cease.
My God, fasten sure the cord
of my service to the Lord!

CH4 539 I Want Jesus to Walk with Me
-
I want Jesus to walk with me;
I want Jesus to walk with me;
all along my pilgrim journey,
oh, I want Jesus to walk with me.
-
In my trials, Lord, walk with me;
in my trials, Lord, walk with me;
when my heart is almost breaking,
oh, I want Jesus to walk with me.
-
When I’m troubled, Lord, walk with me;
when I’m troubled, Lord, walk with me;
when my head is bowed in sorrow,
oh, I want Jesus to walk with me.
