Introduction

Welcome and Thanks

Why we are here

Prayer

Hymn
        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, shouldst die for me?

        ’Tis mystery all! The Immortal dies:
        who can explore this strange design?
        In vain the firstborn seraph tries
        to sound the depths of love divine.
        ’Tis mercy all! Let earth adore,
        let angel minds inquire no more.

        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!

        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.

        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.

Prayer of Thanks

Commendation

Lord's Prayer
        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 in the time of trial
        and deliver us from evil.
        For the kingdom, the power,
              and the glory are yours
        now and for ever.  Amen.

Hymn
        Just as I am, without one plea
        but that Thy blood was shed for me,
        and that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
        O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

        Just as I am, though tossed about
        with many a conflict, many a doubt,
        fightings and fears within, without.
        O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

        Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind –
        sight, riches, healing of the mind,
        yea, all I need, in Thee to find,
        O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

        Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
        wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
        because Thy promise I believe,
        O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

        Just as I am – Thy love unknown
        has broken every barrier down–
        now to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
        O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

        Just as I am, of that free love
        the breadth, length, depth, and height to prove,
        Here for a season, then above,
        O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
