Prayer and Praise

The Works of His Hands

I give thanks to the Lord, Sing Praise to His Name
Declaring His Love in the Morning
For You O Lord, have made me glad
And I sing for joy at the works of Your Hands

The works of His hands, my heart will praise
In the company of His people
Splendour and majesty are my delight
And His goodness endures forever

The works of His hands, His wonders declared
Providing for those who fear Him
Gracious and merciful, is our Lord God
Remembering His cov’nant forever

The works of His hands are faithful and just
Shown through His pow’r to His people
All of His precepts are worthy of trust
And they are established forever

The works of His hands, His promise made firm
Redemption sent to His people
Holy, and Awesome, is His Name!
His praises endure forever

The Everlasting Love of God

Verse 1
How vast the everlasting love of God
How sure and faithful as the morning
This love so great for us could never fail
Nor end for it had no beginning

Verse 2
How strong the Father’s beating heart for us
What mercy runs to meet the sinner
As rivers yearn to reach the lowest place
His grace shall flow to me forever

Chorus
Oh the everlasting love of God
It shall ever be my song
So immense and free more than life to me
The everlasting love of God

Verse 3
How great and precious my Redeemer’s blood
How pure the passion of the Savior
My sins are drowned beneath this mighty flood
My soul is swept away with wonder

Verse 4
How deep the measure of the Spirit’s work
Who dwells in us who seals the promise
God’s love through time and all eternity
Shall stand and we shall stand upon it
What now could separate us from it

Pastoral Reading

Psalm 100

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
2     Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
3 Know that the Lord, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!
5 For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.

Opening Hymn

To God Be the Glory (TH #55)

1 To God be the glory, great things he has done!
So loved he the world that he gave us his Son,
who yielded his life an atonement for sin,
and opened the life-gate that we may go in.

Refrain:
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
let the earth hear his voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father thro’ Jesus the Son,
and give him the glory, great things he has done!

2 O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood!
To ev’ry believer the promise of God;
the vilest offender who truly believes,
that moment from Jesus forgiveness receives. (Refrain)

3 Great things he has taught us, great things he has done,
and great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
but purer and higher and greater will be
our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see. (Refrain)

Hymn

Jesus, The Very Thought of Thee (TH #645)

1 Jesus, the very thought of thee
with sweetness fills the breast;
but sweeter far thy face to see,
and in thy presence rest.

2 O hope of every contrite heart,
O joy of all the meek,
to those who fall, how kind thou art!
How good to those who seek!

3 But what to those who find? Ah, this
nor tongue nor pen can show;
the love of Jesus, what it is,
none but his loved ones know.

4 Jesus, our only joy be thou,
as thou our prize wilt be;
Jesus, be thou our glory now,
and through eternity.

Wonderful, merciful Savior
Precious Redeemer and Friend
Who would have thought that a Lamb could
Rescue the souls of men,
Oh You rescue the souls of men.

Hearts always hunger for,

You offered hope when our hearts had
Hopelessly lost the way,
Oh we’d hopelessly lost the way.

You give the healing and grace our
Hearts always hunger for,
Oh our hearts always hunger for.

Falling before Your throne,
Oh we’re falling before Your Throne.

You give the healing and grace our
Hearts always hunger for,
Oh our hearts always hunger for.
