Processional Hymn 

All creatures of our God and King, 
lift up your voice and with us sing 
alleluia, alleluia! 
Bright brother sun with golden beam, 
clear sister moon with softer gleam: 
O praise him, O praise him, 
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! 
 

Dear mother earth, who day by day 
unfolds God's blessings on our way, 
O praise him, alleluia! 
All flowers and fruits that in you grow, 
let them his glory also show: 
 

And all who are of tender heart, 

forgiving others, take your part, 

O praise him, alleluia! 

All who long pain and sorrow bear, 

praise God and cast on him your care: 

And you, most kind and gentle death, 
waiting to hush our fading breath, 
O praise him, alleluia! 
You homeward lead the child of God, 
and Christ our Lord the way has trod: 

Let all things their Creator bless, 
and worship God in humbleness, 
O praise him, alleluia. 
Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son, 
and praise the Spirit, Three in One:

Faithful God, you sent Jesus as witness that no one is outside your healing reach. Help us to trust in the abundance of your love as we share your compassion and generosity wherever we may go; with you, in Christ, and through the Holy Spirit. Amen 

First Lesson 2 Samuel 1  17-27 

The Choir sings PSALM 125 

They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, |which cannot be removed but abideth for ever. 

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.  

For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity. 

Do good O Lord unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts. 

As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, |the Lord shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity, but peace shall be upon Israel. 

Second Lesson St Mark 5  21-43 

Hymn 

My life flows on in endless song 
Above earth's lamentation: 
I catch the sweet, though far off hymn 
That hails a new creation. 
No storm can shake my inmost calm  
While to that Rock I'm clinging;  
Since love is Lord of heaven and earth,  
How can I keep from singing?  
 

Through all the tumult and the strife 
I hear that music ringing; 
It finds an echo in my soul; 
How can I keep from singing? 

What though my joys and comforts die. 
The Lord my Saviour liveth!  
What though the darkness round me close? 
Songs in the night he giveth. 
 

The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart, 
a fountain ever springing. 
All things are mine since I am his! 
How can I keep from singing?

The Offering 

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. 

Hymn  

Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side; 
bear patiently the cross of grief and pain; 
leave to your God to order and provide; 
in every change he faithful will remain. 
Be still, my soul: your best, your heavenly friend 
through thorny ways leads to a joyful end. 

Be still, my soul: your God will undertake 
to guide the future as he has the past. 
Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake, 
all now mysterious shall be clear at last. 
Be still, my soul: the tempests still obey 
his voice, who ruled them once on Galilee. 
 

Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart 
and all is darkened in the vale of tears, 
then you shall better know his love, his heart, 
who comes to soothe your sorrow, calm your fears. 
Be still, my soul: for Jesus can repay 
from his own fullness all he takes away. 
 

Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on 
when we shall be for ever with the Lord, 
when disappointment, grief and fear are gone, 
sorrow forgotten, love's pure joy restored. 
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past, 
all safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
