Hymns

A lamp for our steps has been given, 
A light has been set on a hill; 
God's Word in its truth may be trusted, 
By all who surrender their will. 
To order the chaos of darkness, 
Give hope in the midst of despair, 
To make of our lives new creations 
And lighten the burdens we bear. 

Lord, grant to us eyes ever watchful, 
And ears ever open to hear, 
The Word that in love you are speaking, 
The Word that dispels all our fear. 
Your death-resurrection has claimed us, 
But pardon our flesh that is weak; 
You know that our spirits are willing, 
Give strength with the Word that you speak.

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.

Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!

The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun.

Awake from your slumber! Arise from your sleep!
A new day is dawning for all those who weep.
The people in darkness have seen a great light.
The Lord of our longing has conquered the night.

Let us build the city of God.
May our tears be turned into dancing!
For the Lord, our light and our Love,
has turned the night into day!

We are sons of the morning; we are daughters of day.
The One who has loved us has brightened our way.
The Lord of all kindness has called us to be
A light for his people to set their hearts free.

God is light; in him there is no darkness.
Let us walk in his light, his children one and all.
O comfort my people make gentle your words,
proclaim to my city the day of her birth.

O city of gladness, now lift up your voice!
Proclaim the good tidings that all may rejoice!

Blessed are they who are poor in spirit,
Theirs is the Kingdom of God.
Bless us, O Lord, make us poor in spirit;
Bless us, O Lord, our God.

We are the light of the world.
May our light shine before all,
That they may see the good that we do,
And give glory to God.

Blessed are they who are meek and humble,
They will inherit the earth.
Bless us, O Lord, make us meek and humble;
Bless us, O Lord, our God.

Blessed are they who will mourn in sorrow.
They will be comforted.
Bless us, O Lord, when we share their sorrow;
Bless us, O Lord, our God.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for justice.
They will be satisfied.
Bless us, O Lord, hear our cry for justice;
Bless us, O Lord, our God.

Blessed are they who show others mercy,
They will know mercy too!
Bless us, O Lord, hear our cry for mercy;
Bless us, O Lord, our God.

Blessed the hearts that are clean and holy,
They will behold the Lord!
Bless us, O Lord, make us pure and holy;
Bless us, O Lord, our God.

Blessed are they who bring peace among you,
They are the children of God!
Bless us, O Lord, may Your peace be with us;
Bless us, O Lord, our God.

Blest those who suffer from persecution,
Theirs is the Kingdom of God.
Bless us O Lord, when they persecute us;
Bless us, O Lord, our God.

Celebrate God with your hands,
Celebrate God with your voice,
Celebrate God in all that you do,
And he will be with you.

Listen to Him with your eyes:
Listen to Him with your heart.
Listen to Him as He speaks with you.
And He will be with you.

Touch Him in all those you love
Touch Him in all those you love
Touch Him in them and let them
touch you.
And He will be with you.

Celebrate God with us
Celebrate God with us
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Celebrate God with us.

Colours of day dawn into the mind,
The sun has come up, the night is behind.
Go down in the city, into the street,
And let's give the message to the people we meet.

So light up the fire and let the flame burn,
Open the door, let Jesus return.
Take seeds of His Spirit, let the fruit grow,
Tell the people of Jesus, let His love show.

Go through the park, on into the town;
The sun still shines on, it never goes down.
The light of the world is risen again;
The people of darkness are needing a friend.

Open your eyes, look into the sky,
The darkness has come, the Son came to die.
The evening draws on, the sun disappears,
But Jesus is living, His Spirit is near.

Day is done, but love unfailing
Dwells ever here;
Shadows fall, but hope prevailing, 
Calms ev'ry fear.
Loving Father, none forsaking,
Take our hearts, of love's own making,
Watch our sleeping, guard our waking,
Be always near.

Dark descends, but light unending
Shines through our night;
You are with us, ever lending
New strength to sight:
One in love, your truth confessing,
One in hope of heaven's blessing,
May we see, in love's possessing,
Love's endless light!

Eyes will close, but you, unsleeping,
Watch by our side;
Death may come, in love's safekeeping
Still we abide.
God of love, all evil quelling,
Sin forgiving, fear dispelling,
Stay with us, our hearts indwelling,
This eventide.

Give me joy in my heart, keep me praising,
Give me joy in my heart, I pray;
Give me joy in my heart, keep me praising,
Keep me praising till the break of day:

Sing hosanna, sing hosanna,
Sing hosanna to the King of kings.
Sing hosanna, sing hosanna,
Sing hosanna to the King.

Give me oil in my lamp, keep me burning...

Give me love in my heart, keep me serving...

Give me peace in my heart, keep me loving...

Great things happen when God mixes with us (x2)
Great and beautiful, wonderful things,
Great things happen when God mixes with us.

Some find life, some find peace; some people also find joy.
Some see things as they never could before
And some people find that they can now begin to trust.

Some find health, some find hope; some people even find joy.
Some see themselves as they never could before
And some people find that they can now begin to live.

Some find peace, some are disturbed; some people even find joy.
Some see their lives as they never could before
And some people find that they must now begin to change.

Greater Love and Friendship has no man than this
That he die for others, give his life for all.
No more are you servants; I have called you friends,
All my Father told me, I made known to you

Without you I am nothing, my weakness needs your strength,
So speak, Lord, to your servants, I’m waiting for your word

Go and build my kingdom, pluck up and break down,
Speak what I command you; I shall be with you,
No you did not choose me , I appointed you.
Go bear fruit in plenty, fruit that should abide.

Have you seen my people, have you heard their cry?
Do you know their suffering? Can you let them die?
Break the unjust fetter, set the captive free,
Share bread with the hungry, make the blind to see.

He is Lord, He is Lord, 
He is risen from the dead and He is Lord. 
Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess 
That Jesus Christ is Lord. 

Have this mind among yourselves, the mind of Jesus, 
Even though he was eternally God's Son 
He emptied himself to be the servant of all, 
He was humble and obedient unto death. 

He is seated at the right hand of the Father. 
God put everything he made under his feet. 
He has given to him the highest name that can be named 
And in all believing hearts he reigns supreme. 

May your inward eye, your vision be illumined. 
May you know what is the hope that waits for you is. 
For the glory God offers you as your inheritance 
Was displayed when he raised Jesus from the dead.

Here I am, Lord, I come to do your will
Make of me what pleases you. Here I am, here I am, Lord.

You spoke my name and beckoned me to come 
Before you, now I stand to listen to Your Word

You have the words of everlasting life
If I should turn from you, to whom would I go?

How great it is to stand amid your glory  
And let me always stay in your presence, oh, God.

Show me the path that you would have me walk 
And give me grace to do what is good in your sight.  

Hungry, thirsty, Lord, we came,
But joyous now we leave,
Nourished by the bread of life,
Renewed and ready to serve.

Together we have shared this meal.
The bread of unity.
Help us, Lord, to build a world,
Where love and charity abide. 
Chorus

You told us, Lord, to be the light
That shines for all to see.
Send your Spirit in our hearts
To keep the fire of love ablaze. 
Chorus

You called us, Lord, to be the salt,
The leaven in the dough.
Help your witlessness to stand.
And speak the words of truth and life. 
Chorus

I give my hands to do your work
And Jesus Lord I give them willingly
I give my feet to go your way
And every step I shall take carefully

O the joy of the Lord is my strength, my strength
O the joy of the Lord is my help my help
For the power of His Spirit is in my heart
And the joy of the Lord is my strength

I give my eyes, to see the world
And every one in just the way you do
I give my tongue to speak your words
To spread your name and freedom giving, truth

I give my mind in every way
So each though I have will come from you
I give my spirit to your O Lord
And every day my prayer will sing anew

I sing a song to you Lord, a song of love and praise
All glory be to you Lord through everlasting days
 
Holy, Holy, Holy, mighty Lord and God
He who was and is now and who is to come
 
Worthy is the slain Lamb Honour Him and praise
We rejoice with gladness sing our love today
 
He has used His power has begun His reign
So rejoice you heavens and proclaim his name
 
Shine your light on us Lord let us know your way
Be our guide forever make us yours today.

In him we live and move and have our being (x2)

I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Come unto Me, and rest;
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down Thy head upon My breast.”
I came to Jesus as I was, Weary, and worn, and sad;
I found in Him a resting-place, And He has made me glad.

I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Behold, I freely give
The living water: thirsty one, Stoop down, and drink, and live.”
I came to Jesus, and I drank Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in Him.

I heard the voice of Jesus say, “I am this dark world’s Light;
Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise, And all thy day be bright.”
I looked to Jesus, and I found In Him my Star, my Sun;
And in that Light of life I’ll walk Till trav’lling days are done.

Jesus Christ, living in us, 
You are our gladness for ever. 

You are the Truth, the Light, alleluia 
Now, as it was, for all the ages to come, alleluia 

You are the life, O Christ, alleluia 
One who abides in you, for ever shall live, alleluia 

You are the Word of God, alleluia 
Who has revealed the Father's love to the world, alleluia 

You are the Saviour, Lord, alleluia 
Into this world you came to save what was lost, alleluia 

Then at the end of time, alleluia 
You will return, for ever bringing us joy, alleluia 

Praise be to you, O Christ, alleluia 
Praise to the Father, Son and Spirit divine, alleluia

Jesus, you are my Salvation, 
Jesus, you're my inspiration, 
Jesus you're the treasure of my life. 

Jesus, you offer new sight to the blind, 
Healing the crippled, the deaf and the mute, 
Cleansing the leper and banishing ills, 
Raising the dead to life. 

Jesus, you nurture the hungry with bread, 
Stilling the tempest and calming the sea, 
Turning life's water to glittering wine, 
Shedding your blood for me. 

Jesus, my refuge, in you do I trust, 
Jesus, my Saviour, in you I rejoice, 
Jesus, my way and my truth and my life, 
Jesus who sets me free. 

Jesus, the wisdom and power of the Lord, 
Jesus, our high priest, our Passover Lamb, 
Jesus, the brightness and image of God, 
Jesus, the King of peace.

Just to fix our eyes on Jesus
Who has fought the good fight to the end;
And to be the grain that’s fallen
To the ground to die and rise again.

This is my sacrifice, an open ear I bring
Here, Lord, I come to do your will,
Here, Lord, I come to do your will.

Just to follow in his footsteps
And to live according to his ways.
Oh! to be the salt to savour;
And the light in darkness all my days.

Just to be like Christ, the sower,
Planting seed that bears a hundredfold,
Oh! to be the Word Incarnate,
Letting life speak out with words untold.

Just to be the bread unleavened,
Breathing out sincerity and truth,
And to be the cup of blessing,
Praising God upon a ten-string lute.

Chorus
Lay your hands gently upon us
Let their touch render your peace
Let them bring Your forgiveness and healing
Lay your hands gently lay your hands

You were sent to free the broken hearted
You were sent to give sight to the blind
You desire to heal all our illness
Lay your hands gently lay your hands.
Chorus

Lord we come to You through one another
Lord we come to You in all our need
Lord we come to You seeking wholeness
Lay your hands gently lay your hands
Chorus

Lead, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom;
Lead thou me on!
The night is dark, and I am far from home;
Lead thou me on!
Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene--one step enough for me.

I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou
Shouldst lead me on.
I loved to choose and see my path; but now,
Lead thou me on!
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will. Remember not past years.

So long thy power hath blest me, sure it still
Will lead me on
O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till
The night is gone.
And with the morn those angel faces smile,
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile!

Lord, we touch You today, Lord, we touch You today
You gave us Your life, You gave us Your love
Lord, we touch You today

Chorus
To live is to die, and to laugh is to cry
To live is to love with all your heart
To live is to walk, and to talk in Your love
And to live, is to sing in Your love

Lord, we give You our heart, Lord, we give You our heart
You gave us Your life, we give You our love
Lord, we give You our heart

Lord, we sing in Your love, Lord we sing in Your love
We share in Your life, we share in Your love
Lord, we sing in Your love

Lord, we’ve touched You today, Lord, we’ve touched You today
You gave us Your death, You gave us Your life
Lord, we’ve touched You today

Make me an instrument of your peace:
Where there is hatred, let me bring love.
Where there is injury, Your pardon, Lord,
And where there’s doubt, true faith in You.

Make me an instrument of Your peace:
Where there’s discouragement, let me bring hope.
Where there is darkness, let me bring your light,
And where there’s sadness, let me bring joy.

Make me an instrument of your peace:
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
It is in giving that we do receive,
And it’s in dying, that we’re born to life.

Mother of God, plead with your Son,
Pray for us sinners, Mary most pure.

May God pour cleansing streams over us,
Washing our souls from every stain.

May He remove our stony hearts,
Give us a heart of flesh in its stead.

May He incline our minds to His voice,
That we may bend our hearts to His will.

May He renew the strength of the weak
And be the hope of wavering wills.

That He may wipe away every tear
And make His light to shine on our face.

My heart's like a flute and I want to play all day,
Jesus is my music master,
Deep from my heart flows a simple melody,
Great is his love, love without end (2)

Once I met the Lord on the way,
Deep was his gaze, kind was his smile,
True were his words, gentle his touch,
He brought me peace and freedom. 
Chorus.

He's my shepherd, He is my guide,
Dark be the night, Christ is my light,
Nothing I fear, Jesus is near,
He leads me to the kingdom. 
Chorus.

Towards the land of promise we walk,
There to find peace, there to find joy,
There to find love, God has prepared,
A banquet for his people. 
Chorus.
