Benediction : Recessional Hymn E822 : Onward! Christian soldiers

1.    BENEDICTION (MINISTER)

2.    RECESSIONAL HYMN EMHB 822

1.    Onward! Christian soldiers,

Marching as to war,

With the Cross of Jesus

Going on before.

Christ, the royal Master,

Leads against the foe;

Forward into battle,

See!  His banners go.

Onward! Christian soldiers,

Marching as to war,

With the Cross of Jesus

Going on before.

2.    At the sign of triumph

Satan’s host doth flee;

On then, Christian soldiers,

On to victory!

Hell’s foundations quiver

At the shout of praise;

Brothers, lift your voices,

Loud your anthems raise.

3.    Like a mighty army

Moves the Church of God;

Brothers, we are treading

Where the saints have trod.

We are not divided,

All one body we,

One in hope, in doctrine,

One in charity.

4.    Crowns and thrones may perish,

Kingdoms rise and wane,

But the Church of Jesus

Constant will remain.

Gates of hell can never

 ‘Gainst that Church prevail;

We have Christ’s own promise,

And that cannot fail.

5.    Onward then, ye people!

Join our happy throng;

Blend with ours your voices

In the triumph song:

Glory, laud, and honour

Unto Christ the King!

This through countless ages

Men and angels sing.

Sermon : Creed : Hymn E391 : Thy life was given for me

1.    SERMON

2.    NICENE CREED AND PRAYER (MINISTER)

3.    HYMN EMHB 391

1.    Thy life was given for me,

Thy blood, O Lord, was shed,

That I might ransomed be,

And quickened from the dead:

Thy life was given for me;

What have I given for Thee?

2.    Thy Father’s home of light,

Thy rainbow-circled throne,

Were left for earthly night,

For wanderings sad and lone:

Yea, all was left for me,

Have I left aught for Thee?

3.    Thou, Lord, hast borne for me

More than my tongue can tell

Of bitterest agony,

To rescue me from hell;

Thou suffer’dst all for me;

What have I borne for Thee?

4.    And Thou hast brought to me

Down from Thy home above

Salvation full and free,

Thy pardon and Thy love:

Great gifts Thou broughtest me;

What have I brought to Thee?

5.    O let my life be given,

My years for Thee be spent,

World-fetters all be riven,

And joy with suffering blent:

Thou gav’st Thyself for me,

I give myself to Thee.

Amen.

Maintain the honour of His word,

The glory of His Cross.

2.    Jesus, my God! I know His name,

His name is all my trust;

Nor will He put my soul to shame,

Nor let my hope be lost.

3.    Firm as His throne His promise stands,

And He can well secure

What l’ve committed to His hands

Till the decisive hour.

4.    Then will He own my worthless name

Before His Father’s face,

And in the new Jerusalem

Appoint my soul a place.
