If ye love Me, keep My commandments.

Processional Hymn 

Lord, for the years your love has kept and guided, 
urged and inspired us, cheered us on our way, 
sought us and saved us, pardoned and provided, 
Lord of the years, we bring our thanks today. 
 

Lord, for that word, the word of life which fires us, 
speaks to our hearts and sets our souls ablaze, 
teaches and trains, rebukes us and inspires us, 
Lord of the word, receive your people's praise. 
 

Lord, for our land, in this our generation, 
spirits oppressed by pleasure, wealth and care; 
for young and old, for commonwealth and nation, 
Lord of our land, be pleased to hear our prayer. 
 

Lord, for our world; when we disown and doubt him, 
loveless in strength, and comfortless in pain; 
hungry and helpless, lost indeed without him, 
Lord of the world, we pray that Christ may reign. 
 

Lord, for ourselves; in living power remake us,  
self on the cross and Christ upon the throne; 
past put behind us, for the future take us, 
Lord of our lives, to live for Christ alone.

Invitation 

Confession 

God of mercy, God of love, in humbleness of heart we confess our sins. We forget to love and serve you, and wander from your ways. We are careless of your world, and put its life in danger. We talk of our concern for others, but fail to match our words with action. Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy.

Metrical Psalm 

Great is the Lord, and greatly he 
is to be praised still, 
Within the city of our God, 
upon his holy hill. 

In our God's city, which his hand 
for ever stablish will. 
We of thy loving-kindness thought, 
Lord, in thy temple still. 

O Lord, according to thy name, 
through all the earth's thy praise; 
And thy right hand, O Lord, is full 
of righteousness always. 
 

That ye may tell posterity. 
For this God doth abide  
Our God for evermore; he will 
ev'n unto death us guide.

The Sermon 

The Apostles’ Creed 

I believe in God the Father Almighty, 

Maker of heaven and earth: 

And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, 

Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, 

Born of the Virgin Mary, 

Suffered under Pontius Pilate, 

Was crucified, dead, and buried: 

He descended into hell; 

The third day he rose again from the dead; 

He ascended into heaven, 

And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; 

From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. 

I believe in the Holy Ghost; 

The Holy Catholic Church; 

The Communion of Saints; 

The Forgiveness of sins; 

The Resurrection of the body, 

And the Life everlasting. 

The Offering 

The Intercessions 

Gloria in Excelsis sung by the choir 

Glory be to God on high, and in earth peace, goodwill towards men. We praise thee, we bless thee, we worship thee, we glorify thee, we give thanks to thee for thy great glory, O Lord God, heavenly King, God the Father Almighty. 

O Lord, the only-begotten Son Jesu Christ; O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, that takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us.  Thou that takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us. Thou that takest away the sins of the world, receive our prayer.  Thou that sittest at the right hand of God the Father, have mercy upon us. 

For thou only art holy; thou only art the Lord; thou only, O Christ, with the Holy Ghost, art most high in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

Prayer  

The Lord’s Prayer 

Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever.

The Peace 

Prayer 

Hymn 

Jesus calls us: o'er the tumult 

of our life's wild restless sea 

day by day his voice is sounding, 

saying, 'Christian, follow me;' 

As, of old, Saint Andrew heard it 

by the Galilean lake, 

turned from home and toil and  kindred, 

leaving all for his dear sake. 

Jesus calls us from the worship 

of the vain world's golden store, 

from each idol that would keep us, 

saying, 'Christian, love me more.' 

In our joys and in our sorrows, 

days of toil and hours of ease, 

still he calls, in cares and pleasures, 

'Christian, love me more than these.' 

Jesus calls us! by your mercy, 

Saviour, make us hear your call, 

give our hearts to your obedience, 

serve and love you best of all.
