FIRST HYMN

 

And now let’s sing the Gospel hymn together, Meekness and majesty 

Meekness and majesty manhood and deity
In perfect harmony the Man who is God
Lord of eternity dwells in humanity
Kneels in humility and washes our feet

O what a mystery meekness and majesty
Bow down and worship for this is your God
This is your God

 

Father's pure radiance perfect in innocence
Yet learns obedience to death on a cross
Suffering to give us life
Conquering through sacrifice
And as they crucify prays Father forgive

O what a mystery meekness and majesty
Bow down and worship for this is your God
This is your God

 

Wisdom unsearchable God the invisible
Love indestructible in frailty appears
Lord of infinity stooping so tenderly
Lifts our humanity to the heights of His throne

O what a mystery meekness and majesty
Bow down and worship for this is your God
This is your God
This is your God

THE GOSPEL       Read by John Parkin

 Hear the Gospel of our Lord according to Matthew, written in chapter 21 beginning at the 23^rd verse.

Glory to you, O Lord.

This is the Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, O Christ.

 

THE PRAYERS OF INTERCESSION   led by Jan Galbraith

 THE LORD’S PRAYER

 And now, as our Saviour Christ has taught us, we are bold to say:

Our Father, which art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name;

thy kingdom come;

thy will be done,

in earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive them that 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.

 SECOND HYMN

 Now it’s time for our second hymn, To God be the glory!

 To God be the glory

Great things He has done
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin
And opened the life-gate that all may go in

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Let the earth hear His voice
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Let the people rejoice
O Come to the Father
Through Jesus the Son
and Give Him the glory
Great things He has done

O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood
To every believer the promise of God
The vilest offender who truly believes
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Let the earth hear His voice
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Let the people rejoice
O Come to the Father
Through Jesus the Son
and Give Him the glory
Great things He has done.

Great things He has taught us, great things He has done
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son
But purer, and higher, and greater will be
Our wonder, our rapture, when Jesus we see

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Let the earth hear His voice
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Let the people rejoice
O Come to the Father
Through Jesus the Son
and Give Him the glory
Great things He has done

And now for our closing prayer.

Almighty God,
