SONG 

Praise Him in the Streets, sung by River

Anne explains what this song means to her: 

Praise Him in the Streets, by River

​

Praise Him, praise Him in the cities

Praise Him, praise Him in the streets

Praise Him, praise Him with our voices (hearts)

Praise where the people meet.

​

Lift up your hearts and sing praise to God

Lift up your hearts

​

A river deep and flowing

Brings good news for the heavenly King

And a mountain high and holy

Echoes with the songs that the angels sing

There’s a light that shines from heaven

And it’s showing us the way

We will praise our saviour Jesus

And walk through the heavenly gates

Praise Him…voices...

​

None can separate us

From the love of the heavenly King

For the rock of our salvation

Is a solid rock – hear the people sing!

There’s a light that shines from Jesus

Showing us the way

We will praise our blessed Redeemer

As we walk through the heavenly gates

Praise Him…voices…

​

Let heav’n and earth sing praises

To our God, our heavenly Father

Let angels spread their wings, Let Seraphs sing

Let all creation raise on high

Holy praise to the Father

In the cities and the streets

Holy praise to the Father

In the cities and the street

Holy praise to the Saviour

In the cities and the streets

Praise Him…voices…

SERMON  Preached by Martha 

HYMN Click and return to this page for the words:

O God, beyond all praising

​

O God beyond all praising, we worship you today

And sing the love amazing, that songs cannot repay;

For we can only wonder at ev'ry gift you send,

At blessings without number and mercies without end:

We lift our hearts before you and wait upon your word,

We honour and adore you, our great and mighty Lord.

​

Then hear, O gracious Saviour, accept the love we bring,

That we who know your favour may serve you as our King;

And whether our tomorrows be filled with good or ill,

We'll triumph through our sorrows and rise to bless you still:

To marvel at your beauty and glory in your ways,

And make a joyful duty our sacrifice of praise.

PRAYERS  Led by David

Let us join with David, saying The Lord's Prayer:

​

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.  

Thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.  

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.  

For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory,

for ever and ever.

Amen

O for a thousand tongues to sing

BLESSING

May the peace of God, which passes all understanding,

Keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God,

And of His Son, Jesus Christ.

And the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, be with us now and remain with us always.

Amen.
