HYMN 1

HYMN 1: BH 47 - GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS

1. Great is Thy faithfulness,

O God my Father,

There is no shadow of turning with Thee;

Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;

As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.

Chorus:

Great is Thy faithfulness!

Great is Thy faithfulness!

Morning by morning new mercies I see;

All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;

Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!

2. Summer and winter, and spring time and harvest,

Sun, moon and stars in their courses above

Join with all nature in manifold witness

To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

3. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,

Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;

Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,

Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

SCRIPTURE

READING

PSALM 103:1-22

1. Bless the LORD, O my soul;

And all that is within me, bless His holy ​name!

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul,

And forget not all His benefits:

3 Who forgives all your iniquities,

Who heals all your diseases,

4 Who redeems your life from destruction,

Who crowns you with lovingkindness and ​tender mercies,

5 Who satisfies your mouth with good ​things, So that your youth is renewed like ​the eagle’s.

6 The LORD executes righteousness

And justice for all who are oppressed.

7 He made known His ways to Moses,

His acts to the children of Israel.

8 The LORD is merciful and gracious,

Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.

9 He will not always strive with us,

Nor will He keep His anger forever.

10 He has not dealt with us according to our ​sins,

Nor punished us according to our iniquities.

11 For as the heavens are high above the ​earth,

So great is His mercy toward those who ​fear Him;

12 As far as the east is from the west,

So far has He removed our transgressions ​from us.

13 As a father pities his children,

So the LORD pities those who fear Him.

14 For He knows our frame;

He remembers that we are dust.

15 As for man, his days are like grass;

As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

16 For the wind passes over it, and it is ​gone,

And its place remembers it no more.

17 But the mercy of the LORD is from ​everlasting to everlasting

On those who fear Him,

And His righteousness to children’s children,

18 To such as keep His covenant,

And to those who remember His ​commandments to do them.

19 The LORD has established His throne in ​heaven,

And His kingdom rules over all.

20 Bless the LORD, you His angels,

Who excel in strength, who do His word,

Heeding the voice of His word.

21 Bless the LORD, all you His hosts,

You ministers of His, who do His pleasure.

22 Bless the LORD, all His works,

In all places of His dominion.

Bless the LORD, O my soul!

HYMN 2

CELEBRANT’S FAVOURITE HYMN-BH ​283- MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING ​LESS

1. My hope is built on nothing less

Than Jesus’s blood and righteousness

I dare not trust the sweetest frame,

But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

On Christ the solid Rock, I stand;

All other ground is sinking sand;

All other ground is sinking sand

2. When darkness seems to hide His face,

I rest on His unchanging grace;

In every high and stormy gale,

My anchor holds within the veil,

3. His oath, His convenant, His blood,

Support me in the whelming flood;

When all around my soul gives way,

He then is all my hope and stay.

4. When He shall come with trumpet sound,

Oh, may I then in Him be found;

Dressed in His righteousness alone,

Faultless to stand before the throne.

HYMN 3

BH 41 - TO GOD BE THE GLORY.

1. To God be the glory, great things he ​hath 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.

Chorus

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, thro’ Jesus the Son

And give him the glory, great things He ​hath done.

2. O perfect redemption, the purchase of ​blood

To ev’ry believer the promise of God;

The vilest offender who truly believes,

That moment from Jesus a pardon receives

3. Great things He hath taught us, Great ​things He hath done,

And great our rejoicing thro’ Jesus the ​Son;

But purer, and higher, and greater will be,

Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we ​see.
