Entrance Hymn

Great is Thy Faithfulness

Verse 1
Great is Thy faithfulness,
O God my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not,
Thy compassions, they fail not.
As Thou hast been,
Thou forever will be.
Refrain
Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me
Verse 2
Summer and winter
and springtime and harvest
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature
in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness,
mercy and love
Refrain
Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me

Oh The Word of My Lord

Chorus
Oh the word of the Lord,
deep within my being,
oh the word of my Lord,
you have filled my mind.

Before I formed you in the womb
I knew you through and through,
I chose you to be mine.
Before you left your mother's side
I called to you, My child,
to be My sign.

Oh the word of the Lord,
deep within my being,
oh the word of my Lord,
you have filled my mind.

but I will make you strong
- I'll fill you with My word.
And you will travel through the land,
fulfilling My command
which you have heard.

Oh the word of the Lord,
deep within my being,
oh the word of my Lord,
you have filled my mind.

And ev'rywhere you are to go
My hand will follow you;
you will not be alone.
In all the danger that you fear
you'll find Me near,
your words my own.
Chorus
Oh the word of the Lord,
deep within my being,
oh the word of my Lord,
you have filled my mind.
Verse 4
With all My strength you will be filled:
you will destroy and build,
for that is My design.
You will create and overthrow,
reap harvests I will sow –
your word is Mine.
Chorus
Oh the word of the Lord,
deep within my being,
oh the word of my Lord,
you have filled my mind.

Communion Hymn

Lord, You Have Come

Verse 1
Lord, you have come to the seashore,
neither searching for the rich nor the wise,
desiring only that I should follow.
Refrain
O Lord, with your eyes set upon me,
gently smiling,
you have spoken my name;
All I longed for
I have found by the water,
at your side, I will seek other shores.
Verse 2
Lord, see my goods, my possessions;
in my boat you find no power, no wealth.
Will you accept, then, my nets and labour?
Refrain
O Lord, with your eyes set upon me,
gently smiling,
you have spoken my name;
All I longed for
I have found by the water,
at your side, I will seek other shores.
Verse 3
Lord, take my hands and direct them.
Help me spend myself in seeking the lost,
returning love for the love you gave me.
Refrain
O Lord, with your eyes set upon me, gently smiling, you have spoken my name;
All I longed for I have found by the water, at your side, I will seek other shores.
Verse 4
Lord, as I drift on the waters,
be the resting place of my restless heart,
my life’s companion, my friend and refuge.

Recessional Hymn

The Summons

Verse 1
Will you come and follow me
If I but call your name?
Will you go where you don't know
And never be the same?
Will you let my love be shown,
Will you let my name be known,
Will you let my life be grown
In you and you in me?
Verse 2
Will you leave yourself behind
If I but call your name?
Will you care for cruel and kind
And never be the same?
Will you risk the hostile stare
Should your life attract or scare?
Will you let me answer prayer
In you and you in me?
