Bible Readings Galatians 2:9-21 and 3:23-29

Hymn CH4 448

Graham Kendrick (b.1950)

Lord, the light of Your love is shining,

in the midst of the darkness, shining:

Jesus, Light of the world, shine upon us; set us free

by the truth You now bring us –

shine on me, shine on me.

Shine, Jesus, shine,

fill this land with the Father’s glory;

blaze, Spirit, blaze, set our hearts on fire.

Flow, river, flow,

flood the nations with grace and mercy;

send forth your word, Lord, and let there be light!

Lord, I come to your awesome presence,

from the shadows into Your radiance;

by Your blood I may enter Your brightness:

search me, try me,

consume all my darkness –

shine on me, shine on me.

As we gaze on Your kingly brightness

so our faces display Your likeness,

ever changing from glory to glory, mirrored here,

may our lives tell Your story –

shine on me, shine on me.

The Bible reading in church is Acts 7: 51 to 8:3 and Acts 9:1-19,

however on the recording (due to lack of space for email attachment size) it starts at Acts 7:54

HYMN CH4 555 Amazing Grace

John Newton (1725-1807)

Amazing Grace! (how sweet the sound!) that saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see.

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved;

how precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed!

Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come;

‘Tis grace has brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.

2 Kings 1: 1-18 and Matthew 3: 1-14

HYMN CH4 641 Seek ye first

Karen Lafferty (b1948)

Seek ye first the kingdom of God

And His righteousness;

And all these things shall be added unto you;

Allelu, alleluia.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

Ask, and it shall be given unto you,

Seek and ye shall find;

Knock and the door shall be opened unto you;

Allelu, alleluia.

Man shall not live by bread alone,

But by every word

That proceeds from the mouth of the Lord;

Allelu, alleluia

HYMN CH4 476 Mine eyes have seen the glory

Julia Ward Howe (1819-1910) and others

Mine eyes have seen the glory

of the coming of the Lord:

He is trampling out the vintage

where the grapes of wrath are stored;

He hath loosed the fatal lighting

of his terrible swift sword:

His truth is marching on.

Glory, glory, Alleluia! (3 times)

His truth is marching on.
