Hymn MP 496 – O for a thousand tongues

1 O for a thousand tongues to sing
my great Redemmer’s praise,
the glories of my God and King,
the triumphs of His grace!

2 Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
that bids our sorrows cease;
’tis music in the sinner’s ears,
’tis life, and health , and peace.

3 He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
He sests the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood availed for me.

4 He speaks, and, listening to His voice,
new life the dead recieve,
the mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
the humble poor believe.

5 Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb,
you loosened tongues employ:
ye blind, behold your Saviour come:
and leap, ye lame, for joy.

6 My gracious Master, and my God.
assist my to proclaim,
to spread through all the earth aboard,
the honours of Thy name.

John 21:1-14 New International Version

Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee.
It happened this way: Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. 
“I’m going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We’ll go with you.”
So, they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.
Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
He called out to them, “Friends, haven’t you any fish?”
“No,” they answered.
He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.”
When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!”
As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water.
The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards. When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread.
Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.”
So, Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore.
It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?”
They knew it was the Lord. Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.
This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.

Hymn CH4 532 Lord you have come to seashore

1 Lord, you have come to the seashore,
neither searching for the rich nor the wise,
desiring only that I should follow.

Chorus
O Lord, with your eyes set upon me,
gently smiling you have spoken my name.
All I longed for I have found by the water,
at your side I will seek other shores.

2 Lord, see my goods, my possessions;
in my boat you find no power, no wealth.
Will you accept, them , my nets and labour?
Chorus

3 Lord, take my hands, and direct them.
Help me spend myself in seeking the lost,
returning love for the love you gave me.
Chorus

4 Lord, as I drift on the waters,
be the resting-place of my restless heart,
my life’s companion, my friend and refuge.
Chorus

Hymn MP 77 Christ Triumphant

1 Christ triumphant, ever reigning,
Saviour, Master, King,
Lord of heaven, our lives sustaining,
hear us as we sing:

Chorus
Yours the glory and the crown,
the high renownthe eternal name.

2 Word incarnate, truth revealing,
Son of Man on earth!
power and majesty concealing
by your humble birth.
Chorus

3 Suffering servant, scorned, ill-treated,
victim crucified!
death is through the cross defeated,
sinners justified:
Chorus

4 Priestly King, enthroned for ever
high in heaven above!
sin and death and hell shall never
stifle hymns of love:
Chorus

5 So our hearts and voices raising
through the ages long,
ceaselessly upon You gazing,
this shall be our song:
Chorus
