Immortal invisible God
Immortal, invisible, God only wise, in light inaccessible hid from our eyes, most blessèd, most glorious, the Ancient of Days, almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise. Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light, nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might; thy justice like mountains, high soaring above thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love. To all life thou givest, to both great and small; in all life thou livest, the true life of all; we blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree, and wither and perish, but naught changeth thee. Great Father of glory, pure Father of light, thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight. All praise we would render: O help us to see ‘tis only the splendour of light hideth thee.

Hymn 501 Take this moment sign and space Take this moment, sign, and space; take my friends around; here among us make the place where your love is found. Take the time to call my name, take the time to mend who I am and what I’ve been, all I’ve failed to tend.
Take the tiredness of my days, take my past regret, letting your forgiveness touch all I can’t forget. Take the little child in me, scared of growing old; help me here to find my worth made in Christ’s own mould. Take my talents, take my skills, take what’s yet to be; let my life be yours, and yet, let it still be me. Prayer of Intercession Hymn 465
Be thou my vision
Be thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart; naught be all else to me, save that thou art; thou my best thought in the day or the night, waking or sleeping, thy presence my light. Be thou my Wisdom, be thou my true Word; I ever with thee, and thou with me, Lord; thou my great Father: thine own I would be; Thou in me dwelling, and I one with thee. Be thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight; be thou my dignity, thou my delight, thou my soul’s shelter, and thou my high tower; raise thou me heavenward, O Power of my power. Riches I heed not, nor earth’s empty praise, thou mine inheritance, now and always; thou, and thou only, the first in my heart, High King of Heaven, my treasure thou art.
High King of Heaven, after victory won, may I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heaven’s sun! Heart of my own heart, whatever befall’ still be my Vision, O Ruler of all. Sermon Offering/Doxology (Hymn 810 Sing to the Lord of heaven and earth) Hymn 352 O for a thousand tongues to sing O for a thousand tongues, to sing my great Redeemer’s praise, the glories of my God and King, the triumphs of his grace! Jesus! the name that charms our fears, that bids our sorrows cease; ‘tis music in the sinner’s ears, ‘tis life, and health, and peace. He speaks, and, listening to his voice, new life the dead receive, the mournful, broken hearts rejoice, the humble poor believe. My gracious Master and My God, assist me to proclaim, to spread through all the earth abroad the honours of thy name. Benediction
