HYMN: Lord, whose love in humble service bore the weight of human need, who upon the cross forsaken, worked your mercy’s perfect deed: we, your servants, bring the worship not of voice alone, but heart; consecrating to your purpose every gift which you impart.

As we worship, grant us vision till your love’s revealing light in its height and depth and greatness dawns upon our human sight; making known the needs and burdens your compassion bids us bear, stirring us to ardent service, your abundant life to share.

Called from worship into service forth in your great name we go, to the child, the youth, the aged love in living deeds to show.

Hope and health, good will and comfort, council, aid and peace we give, that your children Lord in freedom may your mercy know and live.

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: 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 praise thee every day, Gladly all thy will obey, Like thy blessed ones above, Happy in thy perfect 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: 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.

Hymn: Rise up, O men of God! Have done with lesser things. Give heart and soul and mind and strength To serve the King of kings.

Rise up, O men of God! His kingdom tarries long. Bring in the day of brotherhood And end the night of wrong.

Rise up, O men of God! The Church for you doth wait, Send forth to serve the needs of men In Christ our strength is great.

Lift high the cross of Christ! Tread where His feet have trod. As brothers of the Son of Man, Rise up, O men of God!

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: Christ, in whose passion once was sown All virtue of all saints to be, From the white field of these thy own We praise the seed and sower, thee.

Thine was the first and holiest grain To die and quicken and increase; And then came these, and died again, That spring and harvest should not cease.

From thee the martyrs, we from those, Each in thy grace's measure, spring; Their strength upon our weakness flows And guides us to the goal we sing.

These were thy great ones: we, thy least, One in desire and faith with them, Called by the Lord to keep one feast, Journey to one Jerusalem.
