Sunday Audio Service – Epiphany 2 – Morning Worship – 18/1/26
JUST AS I AM, without one plea
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bid’st me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come.
Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come.
Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come.
Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
Yea, all I need in Thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come.
Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve,
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come.
Just as I am, Thy love unknown
Has broken every barrier down.
Now to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come.
Just as I am, of that free love
The breadth, length, depth and height to prove,
Here for a season, then above,
O Lamb of God, I come.
Charlotte Elliot.

LEAD US, HEAVENLY FATHER, LEAD US
O’er the world’s tempestuous sea.
Guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us,
For we have no help but Thee.
Yet possessing every blessing
If our God our Father be.
Saviour, breathe forgiveness o’er us.
All our weakness Thou dost know,
Thou didst tread this earth before us,
Thou didst feel its keenest woe.
Tempted, taunted, yet undaunted,
Through the desert Thou didst go.
Spirit of our God, descending,
Fill our hearts with heavenly joy,
Love with every passion blending,
Pleasure that can never cloy.
Thus provided, pardoned, guided,
Nothing can our peace destroy.
James Edmeston

LORD, THE LIGHT OF YOUR LOVE is shining,
In the midst of the darkness, shining.
Jesus, Light of the world, shine upon us,
Set us free by the truth You now bring us,
Shine on me, shine on me.
Shine, Jesus, shine,
Fill this land with the Father’s glory.
Blaze, Spirit, blaze,
Set our hearts on fire.
Flow, river, flow,
Flood the nations with grace and mercy.
Send forth Your word,
Lord, and let there be light.
Lord, I come to Your awesome presence,
From the shadows into Your radiance.
By the blood I may enter Your brightness,
Search me, try me, consume all my darkness.
Shine on me, shine on me.
As we gaze on Your kingly brightness
So our faces display Your likeness.
Ever changing from glory to glory,
Mirrored here may our lives tell Your story.
Shine on me, shine on me.
Graham Kendrick.

O FOR A THOUSAND TONGUES to sing
My great Redeemer’s praise,
My great Redeemer’s praise!
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of His grace!
Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease,
That bids our sorrows cease.
’Tis music in the sinner’s ears,
’Tis life, and health, and peace.
See all your sins on Jesus laid.
The Lamb of God was slain,
The Lamb of God was slain.
His soul was once an offering made
For every soul of man.
He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
He sets the prisoner free,
He sets the prisoner free.
His blood can make the foulest clean,
His blood availed for me.
He speaks and, listening to His voice,
New life the dead receive,
New life the dead receive.
The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
The humble poor believe.
Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb,
Your loosened tongues employ,
Your loosened tongues employ.
Ye blind, behold your Saviour come.
And leap, ye lame, for joy!
My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honours of Thy name.
Charles Wesley.
