CH 197 As We Are Gathered, Jesus Is Here

1. As we are gathered, Jesus is here;
   one with each other, Jesus is here.
   Joined by the Spirit, washed in the blood,
   part of the body, the church of God.
   As we are gathered, Jesus is here,
   one with each other, Jesus is here.

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.

CH 458 At the Name of Jesus

1. At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow,
   every tongue confess him King of glory now;
   this the Father’s pleasure, that we call him Lord,
   who from the beginning was the mighty Word.
   

2. Brothers, sisters, name him, with love strong as death,
   but with awe and wonder, and with bated breath;
   he is God the Saviour, he is Christ the Lord,
   ever to be worshipped, trusted and adored.
   

3. In your hearts enthrone him; there let him subdue
   all that is not holy, all that is not true;
   let his grace support you in temptation’s hour,
   and his will enfold you in its light and power.
   

4. In his Father’s glory Christ shall come again,
   angel hosts proclaiming his return to reign.
   For all wreaths of empire meet upon his brow,
   and our hearts confess him King of glory now.
   

1. Psalm 139: 1-11, 22-23

Mini-Message (if children are present)

MP 473 My hope is built

1. My hope is built on nothing less
   than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
   no merit of my own I claim,
   but wholly trust in Jesus’ name.
   

   On Christ, the solid rock, I stand –
   all other ground is sinking sand,
   all other ground is sinking sand.
   

2. When weary in this earthly race,
   I rest on His unchanging grace;
   in every wild and stormy gale
   my anchor holds and will not fail.
   

   On Christ, the solid rock, I stand –
   all other ground is sinking sand,
   all other ground is sinking sand.
   

3. His vow, His covenant and blood
   are my defence against the flood;
   when earthly hopes are swept away
   He will uphold me on that day.
   

   On Christ, the solid rock, I stand –
   all other ground is sinking sand,
   all other ground is sinking sand.
   

4. When the last trumpet’s voice shall sound,
   O may I then in Him be found!
   clothed in His righteousness alone,
   faultless to stand before His throne.
   

   On Christ, the solid rock, I stand –
   all other ground is sinking sand,
   all other ground is sinking sand.

1. For the fruits of all creation,
   Thanks be to God.
   For these gifts to ev'ry nation,

   Silent growth while we are sleeping,

   God's will is done.
   In the help we give our neighbor,

   Thanks be to God.
   For the good we all inherit,
   Thanks be to God.
   For the wonders that astound us,
   For the truths that still confound us,
   Most of all, that love has found us,
   Thanks be to God.

Prayer of Intercession

CH4 455  I Greet Thee, Who My Sure Redeemer Art

1. I greet thee, who my sure Redeemer art,
   my only Trust and Saviour of my heart,
   who pain didst undergo for my poor sake;
   I pray thee from our hearts all cares to take.
   

2. Thou art the King of mercy and of grace,
   reigning omnipotent in every place:
   so come, O King, and our whole being sway;
   shine on us with the light of thy pure day.
   

3. Thou art the life, by which alone we live,
   and all our substance and our strength receive;
   comfort us by thy faith and by thy power,
   and give us strength in every trying hour.
   

4. Thou hast the true and perfect gentleness,
   no harshness hast thou, and no bitterness:
   oh, grant to us the grace we find in thee,
   that we may dwell in perfect unity.
   

5. Our hope is in no other save in thee;
   our faith is built upon thy promise free;
   Lord, give us peace, and make us calm and sure,
   that in thy strength we evermore endure.
