Introit - We will walk with God
Welcome
Gathering words
Only many hands will move the rock- a Sudanese proverb.
Come friends let us worship together
Only many hands will move the rock.
Come friends let us work together
Only many hands will move the rock.
Come friends let us walk together
Only many hands will move the rock.
Come for Christ calls us
Only many hands will move the rock.
Our world is weighed down with oppression
our sisters and brothers bear a heavy yoke
the way is blocked to fullness of life.
Come for Christ calls
Only many hands will move the rock
Hymn 192 All my hope on God is founded
Meine Hoffnung stehet feste
! "ll my hope on God is founded#
all my trust he will renew
safe through change and chance he guides me#
only good and only true.
God unknown#
he alone
calls my heart to be his own.
$ %uman pride and earthly glory#
sword and crown betray God&s trust
though with care and toil we build them#
tower and temple fall to dust.
'ut God(s power#
hour by hour#
is my temple and my tower.
) God(s great goodness lasts for ever#
deep his wisdom passing thought *
splendour# light# and life attend him#
beauty springing out of naught.
+vermore#
from his store
new-born worlds rise and adore.
, -ay by day the mighty Giver
showers gifts on us below
his desire our souls delight in#
pleasure leads us where we go.
See love stand
at his hand#
.oy awaits at his command /
0 Still from earth to God in heaven
sacrifice of praise be done#
high above all praises praising
for the gift of Christ his Son.
%ear Christ call
one and all *
those who follow shall not fall.

) +nvious of heart# blind-eyed# with tongues confounded#
nation by nation still goes unforgiven
in wrath and fear# by .ealousies surrounded#
building proud towers which shall not reach to heaven.
, ?ust of possession causes desolations
meekness is honoured nowhere on the earth.
?ed by no star# the rulers of the nations
still fail to bring us to the blissful birth.
0 %ow shall we love you# holy# hidden 'eing#
if we love not the world which you have made =
Oh# give us purer love# for better seeing
your Word made flesh and in a manger laid.
