1. Blessèd assurance, Jesus is mine:
   O what a foretaste of glory divine!
   Heir of salvation, purchase of God;
   born of his Spirit, washed in his blood:

This is my story, this is my song,
praising my Saviour all the day long.
This is my story, this is my song,
praising my Saviour all the day long.

1. Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost,
   taught by you, we covet most,
   of your gifts at Pentecost,
   holy, heavenly love.

2. Faith that mountains could remove,
   tongues of earth or heaven above,
   knowledge, all things, empty prove
   without heavenly love.

3. Prophecy will fade away,
   melting in the light of day;
   love will ever with us stay:
   therefore give us love.

1. One human family God has made,
   and all for each to care.
   One world, to be the home of all,
   with all its wealth to share.
   One Christ, to manifest on earth
   love’s ultimate design.
   One Church to know the mystery
   of broken bread and wine.

2. One race, one world — yet torn apart,
   we spurn the way of love.
   But still ahead, the Christ leads on
   and calls his Church to move
   from love of power to power of love,
   to give the word to all —
   to trust the love that conquered death,
   outside the city wall.

1. Great God, your love has called us here
   as we, by love for love were made.
   Your living likeness still we bear,
   though marred, dishonoured, disobeyed;
   we come, with all our heart and mind,
   your call to hear, your love to find.

2. We come with self-inflicted pains
   of broken trust and chosen wrong,
   half-free, half-bound by inner chains,
   by social forces swept along,
   by powers and systems close confined,
   yet seeking hope for humankind.

3. Great God, in Christ you call our name,
   and then receive us as your own,
   not through some merit, right or claim,
   but by your gracious love alone;
   we strain to glimpse your mercy-seat
   and find you kneeling at our feet.

1. Love divine, all loves excelling,
   joy of heaven to earth come down,
   fix in us thy humble dwelling,
   all thy faithful mercies crown.
   Jesu, thou art all compassion,
   pure, unbounded love thou art;
   visit us with thy salvation,
   enter every trembling heart.

2. Come, almighty to deliver,
   let us all thy life receive;
   suddenly return, and never,
   never more thy temples leave.
   Thee we would be always blessing,
   serve thee as thy hosts above,
   pray, and praise thee, without ceasing,
   glory in thy perfect love.

1. Be still,
   for the presence of the Lord,
   the Holy One, is here;
   come bow before him now
   with reverence and fear:
   in him no sin is found —
   we stand on holy ground.
   Be still,
   for the presence of the Lord,
   the Holy One, is here.

2. Be still,
   for the glory of the Lord
   is shining all around;
   he burns with holy fire,
   with splendour he is crowned:
   how awesome is the sight —
   our radiant King of light!
   Be still,
   for the glory of the Lord
   is shining all around.

1. Amazing grace — how sweet the sound —
   that saved a wretch like me!
   I once was lost, but now am found,
   was blind, but now I see.

2. God’s grace has taught my heart to fear,
   his grace my fears relieved;
   how precious did that grace appear
   the hour I first believed!

3. Through many dangers, toils and snares
   I have already come;
   God's grace has brought me safe thus far,
   and grace will lead me home.

1. O Watcher in the wilderness,
   O Lord of bush and flame,
   you meet us when we least expect
   and summon us by name.
   From our routine we turn aside
   to see your wonders here;
   you bid us stand on holy ground,
   and overcome our fear.

2. O Friend and Master, Jesus Christ,
   in whose great name we meet,
   you take the basin and the towel
   and kneel to wash our feet.
   You call upon us by this sign,
   as we’ve been served, to serve;
   then send us out to do God’s work,
   to give without reserve.

1. Lord, you call us to your service,
   each in our own way.
   Some to caring, loving, healing;
   some to preach, or pray;
   some to work with quiet learning,
   truth discerning,
   day by day.

2. Life for us is always changing
   in the work we share.
   Christian love adds new dimensions
   to the way we care.
   For we know that you could lead us,
   as you need us,
   anywhere.

1. Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart,
   be all else but naught to me, save that thou art;
   be thou my best thought in the day and the night,
   both waking and sleeping, thy presence my light.

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

3. Be thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight;
   be thou my whole armour, be thou my true might;
   be thou my soul's shelter, be thou my strong tower:
   O raise thou me heavenward, great Power of my power.

1. Let us build a house where love can dwell
   and all can safely live,
   a place where saints and children tell
   how hearts learn to forgive;
   built of hopes and dreams and visions,
   rock of faith and vault of grace;
   here the love of Christ shall end divisions:

All are welcome,
all are welcome,
all are welcome in this place.

2. Let us build a house where prophets speak,
   and words are strong and true,
   where all God's children dare to seek
   to dream God's reign anew.
   Here the cross shall stand as witness
   and as symbol of God's grace;
   here as one we claim the faith of Jesus:

1. All I once held dear,
   built my life upon,
   all this world reveres,
   and wars to own,
   all I once thought gain
   I have counted loss;
   spent and worthless now,
   compared to this.

Knowing you, Jesus,
knowing you,
there is no greater thing.
You're my all, you're the best,
you're my joy, my righteousness,
and I love you, Lord.

1. There's a wideness in God's mercy
   like the wideness of the sea;
   there's a kindness in his justice
   which is more than liberty.

2. There is plentiful redemption
   in the blood that has been shed;
   there is joy for all the members
   in the sorrows of the Head.

3. There is grace enough for thousands
   of new worlds as great as this;
   there is room for fresh creations
   in that upper home of bliss.

1. Jesus calls us!  O'er the tumult
   of our life's wild restless sea,
   day by day his voice is sounding,
   saying: ‘Christian, follow me.’

2. As of old apostles heard it
   by the Galilean lake,
   turned from home and toil and kindred,
   leaving all for his dear sake.

3. Jesus calls us from the worship
   of the vain world's golden store,
   from each idol that would keep us,
   saying: ‘Christian, love me more.’

1. Love divine, all loves excelling,
   joy of heaven to earth come down,
   fix in us thy humble dwelling,
   all thy faithful mercies crown.
   Jesu, thou art all compassion,
   pure, unbounded love thou art;
   visit us with thy salvation,
   enter every trembling heart.

2. Come, almighty to deliver,
   let us all thy life receive;
   suddenly return, and never,
   never more thy temples leave.
   Thee we would be always blessing,
   serve thee as thy hosts above,
   pray, and praise thee, without ceasing,
   glory in thy perfect love.
