SONG: I Love to Tell the Story (by Kate Hankey and Wm. G. Fischer)
I love to tell the story of unseen things above
Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love
I love to tell the story, because I know ’tis true
It satisfies my longings, as nothing else can do
I love to tell the story, ’twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story of Jesus and his love
I love to tell the story; ’tis pleasant to repeat
What seems each time I tell it more wonderfully sweet
I love to tell the story, for some have never heard
The message of salvation from God’s own holy word
I love to tell the story, ’twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story of Jesus and his love
I love to tell the story; for those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest
And when, in scenes of glory,
I sing the new, new song
‘Twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long
I love to tell the story, ’twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story of Jesus and his love
Psalm 148:1-6
Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.
Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he commanded, and they were created.
He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
“Fairest Lord Jesus” – Song Perspectives
Fairest Lord Jesus ruler of all nature
O Thou of God to earth come down
Thee will I cherish Thee will I honor
Thou my soul’s glory joy and crown
Fair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands
Robed in the blooming garb of spring.
Jesus is fairer. Jesus is purer,
Who makes the woeful heart to sing.
Fair is the sunshine, fairer still the moonlight.
And fair the twinkling starry host.
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels heav’n can boast.

SONG: May the Peace of the Lord Christ Go With You (Northumbria Community Trust)
May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you,
wherever He may send you.
May He guide you through the wilderness,
protect you through the storm.
May He bring you home rejoicing
at the wonders He has shown you.
May He bring you home rejoicing
once again into our doors.
REPEAT
May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you,
wherever He may send you.
May He guide you through the wilderness,
protect you through the storm.
May He bring you home rejoicing
at the wonders He has shown you.
May He bring you home rejoicing
once again into our doors.
CLOSING (in unison:)
Friends, life is short and there is precious little time to gladden the hearts of those who travel with us… So make haste to be kind, and be quick to love, for within every act of love and kindness, the God who first formed us, reforms and transforms us again and again, now and forever! And for that God’s people say: AMEN!
Go in peace, with love and courage that it will be well with your soul…
