TOOTING UNITED REFORMED CHURCH Sunday 27 September 2015

I will enter His gates with thanksgiving in my heart; I will enter His courts with praise. I will say this is the day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice for He has made me glad. He has made me glad, I will rejoice for He has made me glad. He has made me glad, I will rejoice for He has made me glad.

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father, There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not; As Thou hast been Thou for ever wilt be.

Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed Thy hand hath provided Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, Sun, moon and stars in their courses above, Join with all nature in manifold witness To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed Thy hand hath provided Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide; Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed Thy hand hath provided Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

PSALM 19: 7-14 FOR THE DIRECTOR OF MUSIC. A PSALM OF DAVID. The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple.

The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the Lord are sure, and altogether righteous.

They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb. By them your servant is warned; in keeping them there is great reward.

Who can discern his errors? Forgive my hidden faults. Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless, innocent of great transgression.

May these words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart; Naught be all else to me, save that thou art Thou my best thought in the day and the night, Waking and sleeping, thy presence my light.

Be thou my wisdom, and thou my true word; Thou ever with me and I with thee, Lord; Thou my great Father, thy child let me be; Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight; Be thou my dignity, thou my delight; Thou my soul’s shelter, and thou my strong tower: Raise thou me heav'nward, great Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor earth’s empty praise, Thou mine inheritance, now and always: Thou and thou only, first in my heart, High King of heaven, my treasure thou art.

High King of Heaven, thou heaven's bright sun Grant me its joys after vict'ry is won; Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.

Lord of all hopefulness, Lord of all joy, Whose trust, ever childlike, no cares could destroy, Be there at our waking, and give us, we pray, Your bliss in our hearts, Lord, at the break of the day.

Lord of all eagerness, Lord of all faith, Whose strong hands were skilled at the plane and the lathe, Be there at our labours, and give us, we pray, Your strength in our hearts, Lord, at the noon of the day.

Lord of all kindliness, Lord of all grace, Your hands swift to welcome, your arms to embrace, Be there at our homing, and give us, we pray, Your love in our hearts, Lord, at the eve of the day.

Lord of all gentleness, Lord of all calm, Whose voice is contentment, whose presence is balm, Be there at our sleeping, and give us, we pray, Your peace in our hearts, Lord, at the end of the day.

You shall go out with joy and be led forth in peace, and the mountains and the hills shall break forth in singing. There'll be shouts of joy, and the trees of the field shall clap, shall clap their hands; and the trees of the field shall clap their hands, and you'll go out with joy.
