CH4 251/MP 857 “I the Lord of sea and sky

1 I, the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard My people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin
My hand will save.
I who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear My light to them?
Whom shall I send?
Chorus
Here I am, Lord
Is it I, Lord?
I have heard You calling in the night.
I will go, Lord,
if You lead me.
I will hold Your people in my heart.
2 I, the Lord of snow and rain,
I have borne My people’s pain.
I have wept for love of them.
They turn away.
I will break their hearts of stone,
give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak My word to them.
Whom shall I send?
3 I, the Lord of wind and flame,
I will tend the poor and lame.
I will set a feast for them.
My hand will save.
Finest bread I will provide
till their hearts are satisfied.
I will give My life to them.
Whom shall I send?

 

 

Isaiah 6 : 1- 8 NIV
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: with two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another:
‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.’
At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.
Woe to me!’ I cried. ‘I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.’
Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, ‘See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.’
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’
And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!’

 

Romans 12 : 12 – 17 NIV
Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation – but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.
For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.
For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.
The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.
And by him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
Now if we are children, then we are heirs – heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

 

Hymn  MP 48 : Be still and know

1 Be still and know that I am God.
Be still and know that I am God.
Be still and know that I am God.
2 I am the Lord that healeth thee.
I am the Lord that healeth thee.
I am the Lord that healeth thee.
3 In Thee, O Lord, I put my trust.
In Thee, O Lord, I put my trust.
In Thee, O Lord, I put my trust.

 

MP 709 : To him we come, Jesus Christ our Lord

1 To Him we come –
Jesus Christ our Lord,
God’s own living Word,
His dear Son:
in Him there is no east and west,
to all He offers peace and rest –
loving Lord!
2 In Him we live –
Christ our strength and stay,
life and truth and way,
friend divine:
His power can break the chains of sin,
still all life’s storms without, within,
help us the daily fight to win –
living Lord!
3 For Him we go –
soldiers of the cross,
counting all things loss
Him to know;
going to every land and race,
preaching to all redeeming grace,
building His church in every place –
conquering Lord!
4 With Him we serve –
His the work we share
with saints everywhere,
near and far;
one in the task which faith requires,
one in the zeal which never tires,
one in the hope His love inspires –
coming Lord!
5 Onward we go –
faithful, bold, and true,
called His will to do
day by day
till, at the last, with joy we’ll see
Jesus, in glorious majesty;
live with Him through eternity –
reigning Lord!

CH4 120 : God we praise you, God we bless you

1 God we praise you, God we bless you.
God, we name you sovereign Lord.
Mighty King whom angels worship,
Father by our church adored.
all creation shows your glory,
heaven and earth draw near your throne
singing ‘Holy, holy, holy unknown
Lord of hosts, and God alone!’

2 True apostles, faithful prophets,
saints who set their world ablaze,
martyrs, once unknown, unheeded,
join one growing song of praise,
whilst your Church on earth confesses
one majestic Trinity,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
God, our hope eternally.

3 Jesus Christ, the King of glory,
everlasting Son of God,
humble was your virgin mother,
hard the lonely path you trod,
by your cross is sin defeated,
hell confounded face to face,
heaven opened to believers
sinners justified by grace.

4. Christ, at God’s right hand victorious,
you will judge the world you made,
Lord, in mercy help your servants,
for whose freedom you have paid,
raise us up from dust to glory,
guard us from all sin today,
King enthroned above all praises,
save your people, God, we pray.
