Sunday Audio Service – Easter 3 – Holy Communion – 14/4/24
JESUS, STAND AMONG US,
At the meeting of our lives.
Be our sweet agreement,
At the meeting of our eyes.
O Jesus, we love You, so we gather here.
Join our hearts in unity and take away our fear.
So to You we’re gathering
Out of each and every land.
Christ the love between us
At the joining of our hands.
O Jesus, we love You, so we gather here.
Join our hearts in unity and take away our fear.
(Optional verse for Communion:)
Jesus, stand among us,
At the breaking of the bread.
Join us as one body,
As we worship You, our Head.
O Jesus, we love You, so we gather here.
Join our hearts in unity and take away our fear.
Graham Kendrick.

KING OF KINGS, MAJESTY,
God of heaven living in me.
Gentle Saviour, closest Friend,
Strong Deliverer, Beginning and End:
All within me falls at Your throne.
Your majesty, I can but bow.
I lay my all before You now.
In royal robes I don't deserve,
I live to serve Your majesty.
Earth and heaven worship You,
Love eternal, faithful and true,
Who bought the nations, ransomed souls,
Brought this sinner near to Your throne:
All within me cries out in praise.

O JESUS, I HAVE PROMISED
To serve Thee to the end.
Be Thou forever near me,
My Master and my Friend.
I shall not fear the battle,
If Thou art by my side,
Nor wander from the pathway,
If Thou wilt be my Guide.
O let me feel Thee near me.
The world is ever near.
I see the sights that dazzle,
The tempting sounds I hear.
My foes are ever near me,
Around me and within.
But Jesus, draw Thou nearer,
And shield my soul from sin.
O let me hear Thee speaking
In accents clear and still,
Above the storms of passion,
The murmurs of self-will.
O speak to reassure me,
To hasten, or control.
O speak, and make me listen,
Thou Guardian of my soul.
O Jesus, Thou hast promised
To all who follow Thee
That where Thou art in glory
There shall Thy servants be.
And, Jesus, I have promised,
To serve Thee to the end.
O give me grace to follow
My Master and my Friend.
O let me see Thy footmarks,
And in them plant mine own.
My hope to follow duly,
Is in Thy strength alone.
O guide me, call me, draw me,
Uphold me to the end.
And then in heaven receive me,
My Saviour and my Friend.
John Ernest Bode.

THINE BE THE GLORY,
Risen, conquering Son;
Endless is the victory
Thou o’er death hast won.
Angels in bright raiment
Rolled the stone away,
Kept the folded grave-clothes
Where Thy body lay.
Thine be the glory,
Risen, conquering Son.
Endless is the victory,
Thou o’er death hast won!
Lo, Jesus meets us,
Risen from the tomb!
Lovingly He greets us,
Scatters fear and gloom.
Let the church with gladness,
Hymns of triumph sing,
For her Lord now liveth,
Death hath lost its sting.
No more we doubt Thee,
Glorious Prince of life.
Life is naught without Thee:
Aid us in our strife.
Make us more than conquerors,
Through Thy deathless love.
Lead us in Thy triumph,
To Thy home above.
Edmond Louis Budry.
