Welcome

Hymn: One More Step Along the World I Go

One more step along the world I go,One more step along the world I go;From the old things to the new,Keep me travelling along with you:

Refrain:And it’s from the old I travel to the new;Keep me travelling along with you.

Round the corners of the world I turn,More and more about the world I learn;All the new things that I seeYou’ll be looking at along with me.

Refrain

As I travel through the bad and good,Keep me travelling the way I should.Where I see no way to go,You’ll be telling me the way, I know.

Refrain

Give me courage when the world is rough,Keep me loving though the world is tough;Leap and sing in all I do,Keep me travelling along with you:

Refrain

You are older than the world can be,You are younger than the life in me;Ever old and ever new,Keep me travelling along with you:

Refrain

Prayers of Thanksgiving

Hymn: Thine Be the GloryThine be the glory,Risen, conquering Son,Endless is the victoryThou o’er death hast won;Angels in bright raimentRolled the stone away,Kept the folded grave-clothesWhere thy body lay.

Refrain:Thine be the glory,Risen, conquering Son;Endless is the victoryThou o’er death hast won!

Lo, Jesus meets us,Risen from the tomb;Lovingly he greets us,Scatters fear and gloom;Let the Church with gladnessHymns of triumph sing,For her Lord now liveth,Death hath lost its sting.

Refrain

No more we doubt thee,Glorious Prince of life;Life is naught without thee:Aid us in our strife;Make us more than conquerorsThrough thy deathless love;Bring us safe through JordanTo thy home above:
