Opening Hymn

I watch the sunrise, lighting the sky,

casting its shadows near.

And on this morning bright though it be,

I feel those shadows near me.

But you are always close to mefollowing all my ways.

May I be always close to youfollowing all your ways, Lord.

I watch the sunlight shine through the clouds,

warming the earth below.

And at the mid-day, life seems to say:

‘I feel your brightness near me.’

For you are always......

I watch the moonlight guarding the night,

waiting till morning comes.

The air is silent, earth is at rest –

only your peace is near me.

Yes, you are always......

Offertory Hymn

O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder,

consider all the works thy hand has made,

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,

thy pow’r throughout the universe displayed.

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to thee:

how great thou art, how great thou art.

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to thee:

how great thou art, how great thou art.

And when I think that God, his Son not sparing,

sent him to die, I scarce can take it in

that on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,

he bled and died to take away my sin.

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation

and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart;

when I shall bow in humble adoration,and there proclaim:

My God, how great thou art.

Communion Hymns

Be still, and know I am with you.

Be still, I am the Lord.

I will not leave you orphans,

I leave you with my world. Be one.

You fear the light may be fading,

you fear to lose your way.

Be still, and know I am near you.

I’ll lead you to the day, and the sun.

Be glad the day you have sorrow,

be glad, for then you live.

The stars shine only in darkness.

And in your need, I give my peace.

Lay your hands gently upon us,

let their touch render your peace;

let them bring you forgiveness and healing,

lay your hands, gently lay your hands.

You were sent to free the broken hearted.

You were sent to give sight to the blind;

You desire to heal all our illness,

lay your hands,gently lay your hands.

Lord, we come to you through one another.

Lord, we come to you in all our need;

Lord, we come to you seeking wholeness,

lay your hands, gently lay your hands.

Recessional Hymn

1. A Mhoire mhìn gheal,
a mhèinn nan gràsan,
do dh’aona Mhac Dhè,
bu tu fhèin a mhàthair:
stiùir mo cheum-sa,
tro rè mo làithean
air sligh’ an dòchais
gu sòlas Phàrrais.
2. Dion gach là mi
bho chràdh is leònadh,
lìon gu làn mi
le gràs do thròcair;
ciùinich m'àrdan
gu sàmhchair òigheach,
air sgàth a' phàisdein
a dh'fhas bho d'fheòil-sa. / 3. Oigh ro chliùiteach,
bi riumsa bàidheil;
paisg is cum mi
fo lùb do ghàirdein;
las led shoillse
gach duibhre ghràineil
tha dubhadh m'eòlais
air òr do ghràsan.
4. Tog do naoidhean
mar lainntear iùil dhomh,
los tron oidhche
nach caill mi'n cùrsa;
bi toirt làmh dhomh
an càs an stiùiridh
gu Port mo dhòchais,
mo chòir's mo dhùthchais.
