SING PRAISE TO GOD WHO REIGNS ABOVE,
The God of all creation, The God of power, the God of love,
The God of our salvation; With healing balm my soul he fills,
And every faithless murmur stills:
To God all praise and glory!
What God’s almighty power has made
That will he ever cherish, And will, unfailing, soon and late,
With loving-kindness nourish;
And where he rules in kingly might
There all is just and all is right:
To God all praise and glory!
The Lord is never far away,
But, through all grief distressing,
An ever-present help and stay, Our peace, and joy, and blessing;
As with a mother’s tender hand,
He leads his own, his chosen band:
To God all praise and glory!
O ye who name Christ’s holy name,
Give God all praise and glory:
All ye who own his power, proclaim
Aloud the wondrous story. Cast each false idol from his throne,
The Lord is God, and he alone:
To God all praise and glory!

Primary Song
Jesus knows that little children
Can't sit still for very long.
So we'll praise him with our actions,
As we sing our merry song.
Dance for Jesus, all around,
Clap your hands with a big, big sound.
Jump for Jesus, everywhere,
And then sit down and find your chair.
(2nd Hymn)Sydney Carter.. 1971
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.
Ch.
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 see,
You'll be looking at along with me:
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:
Give me courage when the world is rough,
Keep me loving when the world is tough;
Leap and sing in all I do,
Keep me travelling along with You:
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.

(3rd Hymn)Alan T. Dale
GOD’S SPIRIT IS IN MY HEART;
He has called me and set me apart.
This is what I have to do- What I have to do:
Ch.
He sent me to give the good news to the poor,
Tell prisoners that they are prisoners no more,
Tell blind people that they can see,
And set the down-trodden free,
And go tell ev’ryone
The news that the kingdom
of God has come; And go tell ev’ryone
The news that God’s kingdom has come.
Just as the Father sent me,
So I’m sending you out to be
My witness throughout the world-
The whole of the world.
<
Don’t carry a load in your pack;
You don’t need two shirts on your back;
A workman can earn his own keep-
Can earn his own keep.
Don’t worry what you have to say;
Don’t worry, because on that day
God’s spirit will speak in your heart-
Will speak in your heart:

(4th Hymn)Edward J. Burns
WE HAVE A GOSPEL TO PROCLAIM,
Good news for all throughout the earth;
The gospel of a Saviour’s name:
We sing his glory, tell his worth.
Tell of his birth at Bethlehem-
Not in a royal house or hall,
But in a stable dark and dim,
The word made flesh, a light for all.
Tell of his death at Calvary:
Hated by those he came to save,
In lonely suffering on the cross,
For all he loved his life he gave.
Tell of that glorious Easter morn;
Empty the tomb, for he was free.
He broke the power of death, and hell
That we might share his victory.
Tell of his reign at God’s right hand,
By all creation glorified.
He sends his Spirit on his church
To live for him, the Lamb who died.
Now we rejoice to name him King:
Jesus is Lord of all the earth.
This gospel-message we proclaim:
We sing his glory, tell his worth.

(5th Hymn)Edward Hayes Plumptre.
THY HAND, O GOD HAS GUIDED
Thy flock, from age to age;
The wondrous tale is written,
Full clear on every page.
Our fathers owned Thy goodness,
And we their deeds record;
And both of this bear witness:
One church, one faith, one Lord.
Thy heralds brought glad tidings
To greatest as to least;
They bade them rise and hasten
To share the great King’s feast.
Their gospel of redemption,
Sin pardoned, right restored,
Was all in this enfolded:
One church, one faith, one Lord.
Thy mercy will not fail us,
Nor leave thy work undone;
With Thy right hand to help us,
The vict’ry shall be won.
And then, by men and angels,
Thy name shall be adored,
And this shall be their anthem:
One church, one faith, one Lord.
