A few favourite hymns of your choice Prayer of Intercession The Lord’s My Shepherd, I’ll not want; He makes me lie in pastures green. He leads me by the still, still waters, His goodness restores my soul. And I will trust in You alone, And I will trust in You alone, For Your endless mercy follows me, Your goodness will lead me home. He guides my ways in righteousness, And He anoints my head with oil, And my cup, it overflows with joy, I feast on His pure delights. And though I walk the darkest path, I will not fear the evil one, For You are with me, and Your rod and staff Are the comfort I need to know Sermon Offering/Doxology (Hymn 810 Sing to the Lord of heaven and earth) Prayer of Dedication
I’ll go in the strength of the Lord In paths He has marked for my feet; I’ll follow the light of His word, Nor shrink from the dangers I meet. His presence my steps shall attend, His fullness my wants shall supply; On Him, till my journey shall end, My unwavering faith shall rely. I’ll go (I’ll go,) I’ll go in the strength, I’ll go in the strength of the Lord, I’ll go, (I’ll go,) I’ll go in the strength, I’ll go in the strength of the Lord. I’ll go in the strength of the Lord To work He appoints me to do; In joy which his smile doth afford My soul shall her vigour renew. His wisdom shall guard me from harm, His power my sufficiency prove; I’ll trust His omnipotent arm, And prove His unchangeable love. I’ll go in the strength of the Lord To conflicts which faith will require, His grace as my shield and reward, My courage and zeal shall inspire. Since he gives the word of command, To meet and encounter the foe, With his sword of truth in my hand, To suffer and triumph I’ll go.
Benediction
