Musical introduction and School 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.
Under the shadow of thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure; Sufficient is thine arm alone And our defence is sure.
Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame, From everlasting thou art God, To endless years the same.
A thousand ages in thy sight Are like an evening gone, Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun.
Our God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Be thou our guard while troubles last, And our eternal home. Isaac Watts O.E. 1690-90
General Thanksgiving Reverend Julian Poppleton to lead – all say
Almighty God, father of all mercies, we thine unworthy servants do give thee most humble and hearty thanks for all thy goodness and loving kindness to us and to all men. We bless thee for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all for thine inestimable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ, for the means of grace, and the hope of Glory. And we beseech thee, give us that due sense of all thy mercies, that our hearts may be unfeignedly thankful, and that we show forth thy praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives; by giving up ourselves to thy service, and by walking before thee in holiness and righteousness all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom with thee and the Holy Ghost be all honour and glory, world without end. Amen. Edward Reynolds, Bishop of Norwich, O.E. c.1610-15 At the end of Thanksgiving stage party will sit, followed by the audience
