WELCOME & CALL TO WORSHIP

HYMN: CH3 130 1. Lord, thy word abideth, And our footsteps guideth; Who its truth believeth Light and joy receiveth. 2. When our foes are near us, Then thy word doth cheer us, Word of consolation, Message of salvation. 3. When the storms are o'er us, And dark clouds before us, Then its light directeth, And our way protecteth.

4. Who can tell the pleasure, Who recount the treasure, By thy word imparted To the simple-hearted? 5. Word of mercy, giving Succour to the living; Word of life, supplying Comfort to the dying! 6. O that we, discerning, Its most holy learning, Lord, may love and fear thee, Evermore be near thee!

CALL TO PRAYER & LORD’S PRAYER

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

FIRST READING: Job 38:1-11 PSALM: 9:9–20 SECOND READING: Mark 4:35-41

THE APOSTLES’ CREED

I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth: and in Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

HYMN: CH3 524 1. Thy kingdom come; yea, bid it come, But, when thy Kingdom first began On earth, thy Kingdom was a home, A child, a woman, and a man.

2. The child was in the midst thereof, O blessèd Jesus, holiest one! The centre and the fount of love Mary and Joseph's little Son.

3. Wherever on this earth shall be A child, a woman, and a man, The image of that trinity Wherewith thy Kingdom first began,

4. Establish there thy Kingdom! Yea, And o'er that trinity of love Send down, as in thy appointed day, The brooding spirit of thy Dove!

PRAYER OF GRATITUDE AND CONCERN ANTHEM: Tune your Harps (Esther) – G F Handel

HYMN: CH3 372 1. Ye servants of God, your Master proclaim, And publish abroad his wonderful Name; The Name all-victorious of Jesus extol; His kingdom is glorious, and rules over all.

2. God ruleth on high, almighty to save; And still he is nigh, his presence we have; The great congregation his triumph shall sing, Ascribing salvation to Jesus our King.

3. Salvation to God, who sits on the throne! Let all cry aloud, and honour the Son: The praises of Jesus the angels proclaim, Fall down on their faces, and worship the Lamb.

4. Then let us adore, and give him his right, All glory and power, all wisdom and might, All honour and blessing, with angels above, And thanks never ceasing, and infinite love.

SERMON OFFERTORY: Prelude in B Major, Op.99 No.2 – C Saint-Saëns DOXOLOGY, DEDICATION OF THE OFFERING & CHORAL AMEN

Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise him, all creatures here below; Praise him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

HYMN: CH4 159

1. Lord, for the years your love has kept and guided, urged and inspired us, cheered us on our way, sought us and saved us, pardoned and provided, Lord of the years, we bring our thanks today. 2. Lord, for that word, the Word of life which fires us, speaks to our hearts and sets our souls ablaze, teaches and trains, rebukes us and inspires us, Lord of the word, receive your people's praise. 3. Lord, for our land, in this our generation, spirits oppressed by pleasure, wealth and care; for young and old, for commonwealth and nation, Lord of our land, be pleased to hear our prayer. 4. Lord, for our world; when we disown and doubt him, loveless in strength, and comfortless in pain; hungry and helpless, lost indeed without him, Lord of the world, we pray that Christ may reign. 5. Lord, for ourselves; in living power remake us, self on the cross and Christ upon the throne; past put behind us, for the future take us, Lord of our lives, to live for Christ alone.
