Call to Worship

Come and see what the Lord has done, the desolations he has brought on the earth. He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields with fire. He says,

“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Psalm 46

CH4 424 : Blessed be the everlasting God

1 Blest be the everlasting God,
the Father of our Lord!
Be his abounding mercy praised,
his majesty adored!

2 When from the dead he raised his Son,
and called him to the sky.
he gave our souls a lively hope
that they should never die.

3 To an inheritance divine
he taught our hearts to rise;
his uncorrupted, undefiled,
unfading in the skies.

4 Saints by the power of God are kept,
till the salvation come:
we walk by faith as strangers here;
her Christ shall call us home.

Reading : John 15 9-17

‘As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.

If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love.

I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: love each other as I have loved you.

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business.

Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit – fruit that will last – and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.

This is my command: love each other

MP 689 : Thine be the Glory

1 Thine be the glory, risen, conquering son,
endless is the victory Thou o’er death hast won;
angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away;
kept the folded grave-clothes where Thy body lay.

Chorus
Thine be the glory, risen conquering Son,
endless is the victory Thou o’er death hast won.

2 Lo! Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb;
lovingly He greets us, scatters fear and gloom;
let the Church with gladness hymns of triumph sing,
for her Lord now liveth; death hast lost its sting.
Chorus

3 No more we doubt Thee, glorious Prince of Life;
life is nought without Thee; aid us in our strife;
make us more than conquerors, through Thy deathless love:
bring us safe through Jordan to Thy home above.
Chorus
