Opening Hymn – Jesus Calls Us – VU 562
Jesus calls us, o’er the tumult of our life’s wild restless sea,
Day by day his clear voice sounding, saying “Christian, follow me”
Long ago apostles heard it by the Gallilean lake,
turned from home and toil and kindred, leaving all for Jesus’ sake.
Jesus calls us from the worship of the vain world’s golden store,
from each idol that would keep us, saying “Christian love me more.”
In our joys and in our sorrows, days of toil and hours of ease,
still he calls, in cares and pleasures, “Christian love me more than these.”
Jesus calls us; by your mercies, Saviour, may we hear your call,
give our hearts to your obedience, serve and love you best of all.

Parting Hymn: This Day God Gives ME VU 410
This day God gives me strength of high heaven,
sun and moon shining, flame in my hearth,
flashing of lightning. wind in its swiftness,
deeps of the ocean, firmness of earth.
This day God sends me strength to sustain me,
might to uphold me, wisdom of as guide.
Your eyes are watchful, your ears are listening,
your lips are speaking, Friend at my side.
God’s way is my way, God’s shield is round me,
God’s host defends me, saving from ill.
Angels of heaven, drive from we always
All that would harm me, stand by me still.
Rising, I thank you, mighty and strong One,
King of creation, giver of rest,
firmly confessing, Threeness of Persons,
Oneness of Godhead, Trinity blest.

Go Now in Peace

Music as we move into the world.
