Bind us together Bind us together Lord, Bind us together with cords that cannot be broken, Bind us together Lord, bind us together, Bind us together with love. 10
Bind us together 1. There is only one God; There is only one King; There is only one body; That is why I sing: 11
Bind us together Bind us together Lord, Bind us together with cords that cannot be broken, Bind us together Lord, bind us together, Bind us together with love. 12
Bind us together 2. You are the family of God; You are the promise divine; You are God’s chosen design; You are the glorious new wine: 13
Bind us together Bind us together Lord, Bind us together with cords that cannot be broken, Bind us together Lord, bind us together, Bind us together with love. † 14

Offering Hymn The Church’s One Foundation LHS 191CAL293 Samuel John Stone ( ) 18
The Church’s One Foundation 1. The Church’s one foundation Is Jesus Christ her Lord; She is His new creation By water and the Word: From heaven He came and sought her To be His holy bride; With His own blood He bought her, And for her life He died. 19
The Church’s One Foundation 2. Elect from every nation, Yet one o’er all the earth, Her charter of salvation One Lord, one faith, one birth; One holy name she blesses, Partakes one holy food, And to one hope she presses With every grace endued. 20
The Church’s One Foundation 3. Though with a scornful wonder Men see her sore oppressed, By schisms rent asunder, By heresies distressed, Yet saints their watch are keeping, Their cry goes up, “How long?” And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song. 21
The Church’s One Foundation 4. Mid toil and tribulation, And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation Of peace for evermore; Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest. 22
The Church’s One Foundation 5. Yet she on earth hath union With God the Three in One, And mystic sweet communion With those whose rest is won: O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we, Like them the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with Thee. † 23

Praise Time Bound by Love AT 373CAL293 Grace Simpson © Grace Simpson, 674 Nalanda Court, North Albury NSW
Bound by Love 1. Bound by love to love each other, Won by love that gave its all, Moulded by a love-filled Spirit, Freed by love to heed love’s call. 32
Bound by Love 2. Bound by love to see the needy, Caring where there’s grief and pain, Acting as we’re each enabled, Freed by love to help again. 33
Bound by Love 3. Bound by love now to be givers, forfeiting our selfish whims, Learning from our Master Lover, Freed by love to act for him. 34
Bound by Love 4. Bound by love that knows no boundaries, Willing simply to obey, Seeing Christ in all who are hurting, Freed by love to love, his way. † 35
How Deep the Father’s Love Stuart Townsend 36
how deep the father’s love How deep the Father's love for us, How vast beyond all measure That He should give His only Son To make a wretch His treasure How great the pain of searing loss, The Father turns His face away As wounds which mar the chosen One, Bring many sons to glory. 37
how deep the father’s love Behold the Man upon a cross, My sin upon His shoulders Ashamed I hear my mocking voice, Call out among the scoffers It was my sin that left Him there Until it was accomplished His dying breath has brought me life I know that it is finished.
how deep the father’s love I will not boast in anything No gifts, no power, no wisdom But I will boast in Jesus Christ His death and resurrection Why should I gain from His reward? I cannot give an answer But this I know with all my heart His wounds have paid my ransom. †
May we be one AT 172CAL 293 Robin Mann
May we be one 1. May we be one, Bound in love for ever, Growing close together day by day; Growing as God fills us with His life; We are joined in Him, He makes us one.
May we be one 2. May we be one, As our Father planned it. May the love of Jesus make us strong, No one can harm us when He is near; He has brought us peace, He makes us one.
May we be one 3. May we be one — Jesus’ truth to bind us, With His body He unites us all; Dying our death, He restores our life; Living with us now, He makes us one.
May we be one 4. May we be one, Sharing life together With the Father and His only Son. Now we have life in this world of death; Heaven has begun, He makes us one. Heaven has begun, He makes us one. †

In Christ alone Words and Music by Keith Getty & Stuart Townend Copyright © 2001 Kingsway Thankyou Music
In Christ alone In Christ alone my hope is found He is my light, my strength, my song This Cornerstone, this solid ground Firm through the fiercest drought and storm. »»
In Christ alone What heights of love, what depths of peace When fears are stilled, when strivings cease My Comforter, my All in All Here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone In Christ alone, who took on flesh Fullness of God in helpless babe This gift of love and righteousness Scorned by the ones He came to save. »»
In Christ alone ‘Til on that cross as Jesus died The wrath of God was satisfied For every sin on Him was laid Here in the death of Christ I live.
In Christ alone There in the ground His body lay Light of the world by darkness slain Then bursting forth in glorious Day Up from the grave He rose again. »»
In Christ alone And as He stands in victory Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me For I am His and He is mine Bought with the precious blood of Christ.
In Christ alone No guilt in life, no fear in death This is the power of Christ in me From life’s first cry to final breath Jesus commands my destiny. »»
In Christ alone No power of hell, no scheme of man Can ever pluck me from His hand ‘til He returns and takes me home Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand. †

Blest be the tie that binds 1. Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love; the fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above. 75
Blest be the tie that binds 2. Before our Father’s throne we pour our ardent prayers; our fears, our hopes, our aims, are one, our comforts and our cares. 76
Blest be the tie that binds 3. We share our mutual woes, our mutual burdens bear, and often for each other flows the sympathizing tear. 77
Blest be the tie that binds 4. From sorrow, toil, and pain, and sin we shall be free, and perfect love and friendship reign through all eternity. † 78
