Music Stage party enter

Hymn – all sing Our God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast And our eternal home.

A thousand ages in thy sight Are like an evening gone, Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun.

Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame, From everlasting thou art God, To endless years the same.

Our God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Be thou our guard while troubles last, And our eternal home.

Under the shadow of thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure; Sufficient is thine arm alone And our defence is sure.

Isaac Watts O.E.

General Thanksgiving Reverend Julian Poppleton to lead – all say Almighty God, Father of all mercies, we your unworthy servants give you most humble and hearty thanks for all your goodness and loving kindness. We bless you for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all for your immeasurable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ, for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory. And give us, we pray, such a sense of all your mercies that our hearts may be unfeignedly thankful, and that we show forth your praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives, by giving up ourselves to your service, and by walking before you in holiness and righteousness all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be all honour and glory, for ever and ever. AMEN. Edward Reynolds, Bishop of Norwich, O.E.
