Singing: Jesus Shall Reign

John C. Hatton, Keith Getty

Verse 1
Jesus shall reign where’er the sun
Does its successive journeys run
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore
Till sun shall rise and set no more

Verse 2
Blessings abound where’er he reigns
The pris’ner leaps to lose his chains
The weary find eternal rest
And all the sons of want are blessed

Chorus
To our King be highest praise
Rising through eternal days
Just and faithful he shall reign
Je – sus shall reign

Verse 3
People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on his love with sweetest song
And infant voices shall pro – claim
Their early blessings on his name

Chorus
To our King be highest praise
Rising through eternal days
Just and faithful he shall reign
Je – sus shall reign

Verse 4
Let every creature rise and bring
Blessing and honour to our King
Angels descend with songs a – gain
And earth repeat the loud a – men

Chorus
To our King be highest praise
Rising through eternal days
Just and faithful he shall reign
Je – sus shall reign

Chorus
To our King be highest praise
Rising through eternal days
Just and faithful he shall reign
Je – sus shall reign

Singing: Christ Is Mine Forevermore

Jonny Robinson, Rich Thompson

Verse 1
Mine are days that God has numbered
I was made to walk with him
Yet I look for worldly treasure
And forsake the King of kings

Chorus 1
But mine is hope in my Redeemer
Though I fall his love is sure
For Christ has paid for every failing
I am his forevermore

Verse 2
Mine are tears in times of sorrow
Darkness not yet understood
Through the valley I must travel
Where I see no earthly good

Chorus 2
But mine is peace that flows from heaven
And the strength in times of need
I know my pain will not be wasted
Christ completes his work in me

Verse 3
Mine are days here as a stranger
Pilgrim on a narrow way
One with Christ I will encounter
Harm and hatred for his name

Chorus 3
But mine is armour for this battle
Strong enough to last the war
And he has said he will deliver
Safely to the golden shore

Chorus 4
And mine are keys to Zion city
Where beside the King I walk
For there my heart has found its treasure
Christ is mine forevermore

Bridge
Come rejoice now O my soul
For his love is my reward
Fear is gone and hope is sure
Christ is mine forevermore

Bridge
Come rejoice now O my soul
For his love is my reward
Fear is gone and hope is sure
Christ is mine forevermore

Chorus 4
And mine are keys to Zion city
Where beside the King I walk
For there my heart has found its treasure
Christ is mine forevermore

Tag
Christ is mine forevermore
Christ is mine forevermore

Corporate Confession

Almighty God, our heavenly Father,

we have gone our own way,

not loving you as we ought,

nor loving our neighbours as ourselves.

We have sinned against you

in thought, word and deed

and in what we have failed to do.

We deserve your condemnation.

Father, forgive us.

Help us to love you and our neighbours,

and to live for your honour and glory;

through Jesus Christ our Lord.    Amen.

Singing: Here Is Love

William Edwards, Robert S. Lowry, and William Rees

Verse 1
Here is love vast as the ocean
Loving kindness as the flood
When the prince of life our ransom
Shed for us his precious blood
Who his love will not remember
Who can cease to sing his praise
He will never be forgotten
Throughout heav’n’s eternal days

Verse 2
On the mount of crucifixion
Fountains opened deep and wide
Through the floodgates of God’s mercy
Flowed a vast and gracious tide
Grace and love like mighty rivers
Poured incessant from above
Heaven’s peace and perfect justice
Kissed a guilty world in love

Verse 3
Let me all your love accepting
Love you ever all my days
Let me seek your kingdom only
And my life be to your praise
You alone shall be my glory
Nothing in the world I see
You have cleansed and sanctified me
Jesus, you have set me free

Tag
You alone shall be my glory
Nothing in the world I see
You have cleansed and sanctified me
Jesus, you have set me free

Singing: O Great God

Bob Kauflin

Verse 1
O great God of highest heav’n
Occupy my lowly heart
Own it all and reign supreme
Conquer ev’ry rebel pow’r
Let no vice or sin remain
That resists your holy war
You have loved and purchased me
Make me yours forever more

Verse 2
I was blinded by my sin
Had no ears to hear your voice
Did not know your love within
Had no taste for heaven’s joys
Then your Spirit gave me life
Opened up your word to me
Through the gospel of your Son
Gave me endless hope and peace

Verse 3
Help me now to live a life
That’s dependent on your grace
Keep my heart and guard my soul
From the evils that I face
You are worthy to be praised
With my ev’ry thought and deed
O great God of highest heav’n
Glorify your name through me

Tag
You are worthy to be praised
