HYMN: We turn to you, O God of every nation, Giver of life and origin of good; Your love is at the heart of all creation, Your hurt is people's broken brotherhood.

We turn to you, that we may be forgiven For crucifying Christ on earth again. We know that we have never wholly striven, Forgetting self, to love the other man.

Free every heart from pride and self-reliance, Our ways of thought inspire with simple grace Break down among us barriers of defiance, Speak to the soul of all the human race.

Teach us, good Lord, to serve the need of others, help us to give and not to count the cost. Unite us all for we are born as brothers, defeat our Babel with your Pentecost!

HYMN: O raise your eyes on high and see There stands our sovereign Lord, His glory is this day revealed, His Word a two-edged sword.

We glimpse the splendor and the power Of him who conquered death, The Christ in whom the universe Knows God's creating breath.

Of every creed and nation King In him all strife is stilled; The promise made to Abraham In him has been fulfilled.

The prophets stand and with great joy Give witness as they gaze; The Father with a sign has sealed Our trust, our hope, our praise.

HYMN: All creatures of our God and King Lift up your voice and with us sing, Alleluia! Alleluia! Thou burning sun with golden beam, Thou silver moon with softer gleam!

O praise Him! O praise Him! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Thou rushing wind that art so strong Ye clouds that sail in Heaven along, O praise Him! Alleluia! Thou rising moon, in praise rejoice, Ye lights of evening, find a voice!

O praise Him! O praise Him! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

HYMN: Loving shepherd of thy sheep, Keep thy lamb in safety keep; Nothing can thy power withstand, none can pluck me from thy hand.

I would bless thee every day, Gladly all thy will obey, Like thy blessed ones above, Happy in thy precious love.

Loving shepherd ever near, Teach thy lamb thy voice to hear Suffer not my steps to stray from the straight and narrow way.

Where thou leadest, I would go, Walking in thy steps below, Till before my father’s throne. I shall know as I am known.

HYMN: When morning fills the sky, Our hearts awaking cry: May Jesus Christ be praised. In all our works and prayer His sacrifice we share: May Jesus Christ be praised. The night becomes as day, When from our hearts we say: May Jesus Christ be praised. The powers of darkness fear When this glad song they hear: May Jesus Christ be praised.

In heav'n our joy will be To sing eternally: May Jesus Christ be praised. Let earth and sea and sky From depth to height reply: May Jesus Christ be praised. let all the earth now sing To our eternal King: May Jesus Christ be praised. By this the eternal song. Through ages all along: May Jesus Christ be praised.

HYMN: Now from the heavens descending is seen a glorious light, the bride of Christ in splendour, arrayed in purest white. She is the holy city, whose radiance is the grace of all the saints in glory, from every time and place.

This is the hour of gladness for bridegroom and for bride. The Lamb’s great feast is ready, his bride is at his side. How blest are those invited to share his wedding feast: the least become the greatest, the greatest are the least.

HYMN: Sion sing, break into song! For within you is the Lord With his saving pow'r.

Rise and shine forth, for your light has come, And upon you breaks the glory of the lord For the darkness covers the earth, And the thick clouds, the people.

Sion sing, break into song! For within you is the Lord With his saving pow'r.

But upon you the Lord shall dawn, And in you his splendour shall be revealed; Your light shall guide the Gentiles on their path, And kings shall walk in your brightness.

Sion sing, break into song! For within you is the Lord With his saving pow'r.
