Offertory Hymn

All Man's Labour can Produce

Refrain:
May this lowly bread and wine
Be the sacrifice divine
Of our saviour Jesus Christ!
Of our saviour Jesus Christ!
All man’s labour can produce,
You have given for our use:
Take, O Lord, our offering!
Take, O Lord, our offering!
On this gift of bread and wine,
of our sacrifice a sign,
Father, look with favour now!
Father, look with favour now!

Communion Hymn

The Summons

Will you go where you don't know
And never be the same?
Will you let my love be shown,
Will you let my name be known,
Will you let my life be grown
In you and you in me?
Will you leave yourself behind
If I but call your name?
Will you care for cruel and kind
And never be the same?
Will you risk the hostile stare
Should your life attract or scare?
Will you let me answer prayer
In you and you in me?
Will you let the blinded see
If I but call your name?
Will you set the prisoners free
And never be the same?
Will you kiss the leper clean,
And do such as this unseen,
And admit to what I mean
In you and you in me?

Recessional Hymn

Our God Reigns

Verse 1
How lovely on
the mountains are the feet of him
who brings good news, good news,
announcing peace,
proclaiming news of happiness
Our God reigns, our God reigns,
Our God reigns, our God reigns
Our God reigns, our God reigns.
Verse 2
He had no stately form,
he had no majesty,
that we should be drawn to him.
He was despised
and we took no account of him,
yet now he reigns, with the Most High.
Now he reigns, now he reigns,
now he reigns, with the Most High.
Verse 3
It was our sin
and guilt that bruised and wounded him
It was our sin that brought him down.
When we like sheep
had gone astray our shepherd came
and on his shoulders bore our shame.
On his shoulders, on his shoulders
on his shoulders, he bore our shame.
Verse 4
Meek as a lamb
that's led out to the slaughter house
dumb as a sheep before its shearer,
his life ran down
upon the ground like pouring rain,
that we might be born again.
That we might be, that we might be,
that we might be, born again.
