Introduction & Call to Worship

Psalm 27:vv 4 & 8

Hymn STF 11 Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty! - Emmanuel Singers

  1. Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty!
    Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee:
    holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty,
    God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!
  2. Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee,
    casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
    cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,
    who wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.
  3. Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide thee,
    though the sinful human eye thy glory may not see,
    only thou art holy;there is none beside thee,
    perfect in power, in love, and purity.
  4. Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty!
    All thy works shall praise thy name in earth and sky and sea;
    holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty,
    God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!
  5. Reginald Heber (1783-1826) (alt.) Based on Revelation 4:8-11 Reproduced from Singing the Faith Electronic Words Edition, number 11

Hymn STF 443 Come, let us sing of a wonderful love, from 2018 01 19



  1. Come, let us sing of a wonderful love,
    tender and true;
    out of the heart of the Father above,
    streaming to me and to you:
    wonderful love
    dwells in the heart of the Father above.
  2. Jesus, the Saviour, this gospel to tell,
    joyfully came;
    came with the helpless and hopeless to dwell,
    sharing their sorrow and shame;
    seeking the lost,
    saving, redeeming at measureless cost.
  3. Jesus is seeking the wanderers yet;
    why do they roam?
    Love only waits to forgive and forget;
    home, weary wanderer, home!
    Wonderful love
    dwells in the heart of the Father above.
  4. Come to my heart, O thou wonderful love,
    come and abide,
    lifting my life, till it rises above
    envy and falsehood and pride;
    seeking to be
    lowly and humble, a learner of thee.
  5. Robert Walmsley (1831-1905) Reproduced from Singing the Faith Electronic Words Edition, number 443

Sermon Rev James Hamilton

Hymn STF 30 Jesus, stand among us


  1. Jesus, stand among us
    at the meeting of our lives,
    be our sweet agreement
    at the meeting of our eyes.
    O Jesus, we love you, so we gather here,
    join our hearts in unity and take away our fear.
  2. So to you we're gathering
    out of each and ev'ry land,
    Christ the love between us
    at the joining of our hands.
    O Jesus, we love you, so we gather here,
    join our hearts in unity and take away our fear.
  3. Jesus, stand among us
    at the breaking of the bread;
    join us as one body
    as we worship you, our Head.
    O Jesus, we love you, so we gather here,
    join our hearts in unity and take away our fear.

Prayers for the world

Lord in your mercy Hear our prayer

Hymn STF 654 The love of God comes close - from 2017-05-28

  1. The love of God comes close
    where stands an open door
    to let the stranger in,
    to mingle rich and poor.
    The love of God is here to stay,
    embracing those who walk his way.
  2. The peace of God comes close
    to those caught in the storm,
    foregoing lives of ease
    to ease the lives forlorn.
    The peace of God is here to stay,
    embracing those who walk his way.
  3. The joy of God comes close
    where faith encounters fears,
    where heights and depths of life
    are found through smiles and tears.
    The joy of God is here to stay,
    embracing those who walk his way.
  4. The grace of God comes close
    to those whose grace is spent,
    when hearts are tired or sore
    and hope is bruised and bent.
    The grace of God is here to stay,
    embracing those who walk his way.
  5. The Son of God comes close
    where people praise his name,
    where bread and wine are blest
    and shared as when he came.
    The Son of God is here to stay,
    embracing those who walk his way.
