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.

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.

Processional Hymn E24 : O God, my strength and fortitude

1.    PROCESSIONAL HYMN EMHB 24

1.    O God, my strength and fortitude,

In truth I will love Thee;

Thou art my castle and defence

In my necessity.

2.    When I, beset with pain and grief,

Prayed to my God for grace,

Forthwith my God heard my complaint

Out of His holy place.

3.    The Lord descended from above,

And bowed the heavens high,

And underneath His feet He cast

The darkness of the sky.

4.    On cherub and on cherubim

Full royally He rode:

And on the wings of all the winds

Came flying all abroad.

5.    He brought me forth in open place,

That so I might be free;

And kept me safe, because He had

A favour unto me.

6.    Unspotted are the ways of God,

His word is truly tried:

He is a sure defence to such

As in His ways abide.
