3. OPENING HYMN

4. He walked on earth, showing glimpses of heaven; demons, death, disease had no hand. The wind and the waves were obedient before Him: well may they say, “Who is this man?” Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away our sin the light of the world, the Son of God. Worthy is the Lamb to receive our praise and glory and honour and power

5. He turned not His face from our pain and destruction, he drank the bitter cup to the end; he who knew no sin took the punishment for us, deserted by God, man and friend. Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away our sin the light of the world, the Son of God. Worthy is the Lamb to receive our praise and glory and honour and power.

6. On the third day he was raised up with glory reigning on high, the risen Son: we have new life, a new hope, a new future; now we cry, “Come Lord Jesus Come!” Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away our sin the light of the world, the Son of God. Worthy is the Lamb to receive our praise and glory and honour and power. © 1989 Nicky Chiswell/Rob Smith CCLI NO:61732

10. Compassion and forgiveness belong to the lord our god, though we have rebelled and wandered far off. Let us then ask for mercy, confessing our sins in penitence and faith.

11. Merciful God, our maker and our judge, we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, and in what we have failed to do: we have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves; we repent, and are sorry for all our sins. Father, forgive us. Strengthen us to love and obey you in newness of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

16. Psalm 126

17. 1 When the Lord turned again the fortunes of Zion: then were we like those restored to life. 2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter: and our tongue with singing. 3 Then said they among the heathen: ‘The Lord has done great things for them.’

18. 4 Truly the Lord has done great things for us: and therefore we rejoiced. 5 Turn again our fortunes, O Lord: as the streams return to the dry south. 6 Those who sow in tears: shall reap with songs of joy. 7 They that go out weeping, bearing the seed: shall come again in gladness, bringing their sheaves with them.

20. And Can It Be

21. And can it be that I should gain an interest in the Saviour's blood? Died He for me, who caused His pain? For me, who Him to death pursued? Amazing love! how can it be that Thou, my God, should die for me!

22. ‘Tis mystery all! The immortal dies: who can explore His strange design? In vain the first-born seraph tries to sound the depths of love divine, ‘Tis mercy all! Let earth adore, let angel minds inquire no more.

23. He left His Father's throne above - so free, so infinite His grace - emptied Himself of all but love, and bled for Adam's helpless race. ‘tis mercy all, immense and free; for, O my God, it found out me!

24. Long my imprisoned spirit lay fast bound in sin and nature's night; Thine eye diffused a quickening ray- I woke, the dungeon flamed with light; my chains fell off, my heart was free. I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.

25. No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, and all in Him, is mine! Alive in Him, my living Head, and clothed in righteousness divine, bold I approach the eternal throne, and claim the crown, through Christ, my own. Charles Wesley (1707–1788)

26. A Reading from John Chapter 12, Verses 1-8 Glory to you Lord Jesus Christ For the Gospel of the Lord, Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.

29. On the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

31. Jesus said: Come to me all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11.28

32. We do not presume to come to your table, merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in your manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under your table. But you are the same Lord whose nature is always to have mercy. Grant us, therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of your dear Son Jesus Christ, and to drink his blood, that we may evermore dwell in him, and he in us. Amen.

38. Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation. Through your goodness we have these gifts to share. Accept and use our offerings for your Glory And for the service of your kingdom. Blessed be God for ever.

40. We give you thanks and praise for your Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ, who by the power of your Spirit was born of Mary and lived as one of us. He was tempted in every way as we are, yet he did not sin. By his death on the cross and rising to new life, he offered the one true sacrifice for sin and obtained an eternal deliverance for his people.

41. By his grace we are able to triumph over every evil, and to walk in the way of his love. Therefore with angels and archangels, and with all the company of heaven, we proclaim your great and glorious name, for ever praising you and saying: Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest.

42. Merciful God, we thank you for these gifts of your creation, this bread and wine, and we pray that by your Word and Holy Spirit, we who eat and drink them may be partakers of Christ's body and blood. On the night he was betrayed Jesus took bread; and when he had given you thanks he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying,

43. 'Take, eat. This is my body given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.' After supper, he took the cup, and again giving you thanks he gave it to his disciples, saying, 'Drink from this, all of you. This is my blood of the new covenant shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.‘ Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.

44. Therefore we do as our Saviour has commanded: proclaiming his offering of himself made once for all upon the cross, his mighty resurrection and glorious ascension, and looking for his coming again, we celebrate, with this bread and this cup, his one perfect and sufficient sacrifice for the sins of the whole world.

45. Renew us by your Holy Spirit, unite us in the body of your Son, and bring us with all your people into the joy of your eternal kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord, with whom, and in whom, in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, we worship you, Father, in songs of never-ending praise: Blessing and honour and glory and power are yours for ever and ever. Amen.

46. Accept our prayers through Jesus Christ our Lord who has taught us to pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen.

47. We break this bread to share in the body of Christ. We who are many are one body, for we all share in the one bread.

48. The gifts of God for the people of God. Come let us take this holy sacrament of the body and blood of Christ in remembrance that he died for us, and feed on him in our hearts by faith with thanksgiving.

49. Communion Hymn: Brother Sister let me Serve You.

50. Brother, sister, let me serve you, let me be as Christ to you; pray that I may have the grace to let you be my servant too. We are pilgrims on a journey and companions on the road; we are here to help each other walk the mile and bear the load.

51. I will hold the Christ-light for you In the night-time of your fear; I will hold my hand out to you, Speak the peace you long to hear. I will weep when you are weeping; When you laugh I’ll laugh with you; I will share your joy and sorrow Till we’ve seen this journey through.

52. When we sing to God in heaven We shall find such harmony, Born of all we’ve known together Of Christ’s love and agony. Brother, sister, let me serve you, Let me be as Christ to you; Pray that I may have the grace to Let you be my servant too. Richard Gillard 1977
