Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ the head and corner-stone
chosen of the Lord and precious,
binding all the Church in one;
holy Zion’s help for ever,
and her confidence alone.
2. We as living stones invoke you:
Come among us, Lord, today!
with Your gracious loving-kindness
hear Your children as we pray;
and the fulness of Your blessing
in our fellowship display.
3. Here entrust to all Your servants
what we long from You to gain –
that on earth and in the heavens
we one people shall remain,
till united in Your glory
evermore with You we reign.
4. Praise and honour to the Father,
praise and honour to the Son,
praise and honour to the Spirit,
ever Three and ever One:
one in power and one in glory
while eternal ages run.
CMP 73 John Mason Neale 1818–66
Who is this man named Jesus?
Where did he come from,
does anyone know?
Who is this man named Jesus,
In his home-spun carpenter’s clothes?
He speaks, He heals,
He knows exactly how we live.
He shows God’s love
And he has power to forgive…
2.
Who is this man named Jesus?
Why do the crowds all follow him here?
Who is this man named Jesus
Who says things we’re waiting to hear?
He speaks, He heals,
He knows exactly how we live.
He shows God’s love
And he has power to forgive…
3. Who is this man named Jesus?
Where did he come from,
does anyone know?
Who is this man named Jesus,
In his home-spun carpenter’s clothes? X 3
Make way, make way for
Christ the King
In splendour arrives.
Fling wide the gates and
welcome Him
Into your lives.
Make way, make way,
For the King of Kings
Make way, make way,
And let His Kingdom in.
He comes the broken hearts to
heal
The prisoners to free
The deaf shall hear, the lame
shall dance,
The blind shall see.
And those who mourn with heavy
hearts,
Who weep and sigh
With laughter, joy and royal
crown
He'll beautify.
We call you now to worship Him
As Lord of All.
To have no gods before Him
Their thrones must fall.
Graham Kendrick c.1986 Kingsway’s Thankyou

Light of the world,
You stepped down into darkness
Opened my eyes, let me see
Beauty that made this heart
adore You
Hope of a life spent with You.
So here I am to worship,
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You’re
my God.
You’re altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me.
King of all days, oh, so
highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above
Humbly You came to the earth
You created
All for love’s sake became
poor.
So here I am to worship,
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You’re
my God.
You’re altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me.
So here I am to worship,
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You’re
my God.
You’re altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me.
I’ll never know how much it
cost
To see my sin upon that cross
I’ll never know how much it
cost
To see my sin upon that cross.
So here I am to worship,
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You’re
my God.
You’re altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me.

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 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.
SG 602
Timothy Dudley-Smith
Jesus shall reign where’er
the sun
Does his successive journeys run;
His Kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.
2.
People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on his love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on his Name.
3.
Blessings abound where’er he reigns:
The prisoner leaps to lose his chains,
The weary find eternal rest,
And all the sons of want are blest.
4.
Let every creature rise and bring
Peculiar honours to our King,
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the long Amen.

Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from
our eyes,
Most blessèd, most glorious,
the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, thy
great Name we praise.
2. Unresting, unhasting, and
silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, thou
rulest in might;
Thy justice like mountains
high soaring above
Thy clouds, which are
fountains of goodness and love.
3. To all, life thou givest –
to both great and small;
In all life thou livest, the
true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as
leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish – but
naught changeth thee.
4. Great Father of Glory, pure
Father of Light,
Thine angels adore thee, all
veiling their sight;
All laud we would render: O
help us to see
‘Tis only the splendour of
light hideth thee.
CH3 32 Walter Chalmers Smith 1824-1908
All my days I
will sing this song of gladness,
give my praise to the Fountain
of delights;
for in my helplessness you
heard my cry,
and waves of mercy poured down
on my life.
2. I will trust in the cross
of my Redeemer,
I will sing of the blood that
never fails,
of sins forgiven, of
conscience cleansed,
of death defeated and life
without end.
Beautiful Saviour, wonderful
Counsellor,
clothed in majesty, Lord of
history,
you’re the way, the truth, the
life.
Star of the morning, glorious
in holiness,
you’re the risen One, heaven’s
champion,
and you reign, you reign over
all!
3. I long to be where the
praise is never-ending,
yearn to dwell where the glory
never fades,
where countless worshippers
will share one song,
and cries of ‘worthy’ will
honour the Lamb!

Lord, I come
before your throne of grace;
I find rest in your presence
and fulness of joy.
In worship and wonder I behold
your face,
singing what a faithful God
have I.
What a faithful God have I,
what a faithful God.
What a faithful God have I
faithful in every way.
2. Lord of mercy, you have
heard my cry;
through the storm you’re the
beacon,
my song in the night.
In the shelter of your wings,
hear my heart’s reply,
singing what a faithful God
have I.
What a faithful God have I,
what a faithful God.
What a faithful God have I
faithful in every way.
3. Lord all sovereign,
granting peace from heaven,
let me comfort those who
suffer
with the comfort you have
given.
I will tell of your great
love for as long as I live,
singing what a faithful God
have I.
What a faithful God have I,
what a faithful God.
What a faithful God have I
faithful in every way.

Thy Word is a
lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
Thy Word is a lamp unto my
feet
And a light unto my path.
When I feel afraid, think I’ve
lost my way,
still you’re there right
beside me.
And nothing will I fear as
long as you are near;
please be near me to the end.
Thy Word is a lamp unto my
feet
And a light unto my path
Thy Word is a lamp unto my
feet
And a light unto my path.
2. I will not forget your love
for me, and yet
my heart forever is wandering.
Jesus, be my guide and hold me
to your side,
and I will love you to the
end.
Thy Word is a lamp unto my
feet
And a light unto my path
Thy Word is a lamp unto my
feet
And a light unto my path.

Thy hand, O God,
has guided
Thy flock, from age to age;
The wondrous tale is written,
Full clear, on every page;
Our fathers owned thy
goodness,
And we their deeds record;
And both of this bear witness,
One Church, one Faith, one
Lord.
2. Thy heralds brought glad
tidings
To greatest, as to least;
They bade men rise, and hasten
To share the great King’s
feast;
And this was all their
teaching,
In every deed and word,
To all alike proclaiming,
One Church, one Faith, one
Lord.
3. Through many a day of
darkness,
Through many a scene of
strife,
The faithful few fought
bravely
To guard the nation’s life.
Their Gospel of redemption,
Sin pardoned, man restored,
Was all in this enfolded,
One Church, one Faith, one
Lord.
4. Thy mercy will not fail us,
Nor leave they work undone;
Withy thy right hand to help
us,
The victory shall be won;
And then, by men and angels,
Thy Name shall be adored,
And this shall be their
anthem:
One Church, one Faith, one
Lord.
