Sunday Audio Service – Trinity 11 – Holy Communion – 20/8/23
O WORSHIP THE LORD in the beauty of holiness,
Bow down before Him, His glory proclaim.
With gold of obedience and incense of lowliness,
Kneel and adore Him; the Lord is His name.
Low at His feet lay thy burden of carefulness,
High on His heart He will bear it for thee,
Comfort thy sorrows, and answer thy prayerfulness,
Guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.
Fear not to enter His courts in the slenderness,
Of the poor wealth thou wouldst reckon as thine.
Truth in its beauty, and love in its tenderness,
These are the offerings to lay on His shrine.
These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness,
He will accept for the name that is dear.
Mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness,
Trust for our trembling, and hope for our fear.
O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness,
Bow down before Him, His glory proclaim,
With gold of obedience and incense of lowliness,
Kneel and adore Him: the Lord is His name.
John S. B. Monsell.

THESE ARE THE DAYS OF ELIJAH,
Declaring the word of the Lord:
And these are the days of Your servant Moses,
Righteousness being restored.
And though these are days of great trial,
Of famine and darkness and sword,
Still, we are a voice in the desert crying,
‘Prepare ye the way of the Lord.’
Behold He comes riding on the clouds,
Shining like the sun at the trumpet call.
Lift your voice, it’s the year of jubilee,
Out of Zion’s hill salvation comes.
These are the days of Ezekiel,
The dry bones becoming as flesh.
And these are the days of Your servant David,
Rebuilding the temple of praise.
These are the days of the harvest,
The fields are as white in the world,
And we are the labourers in the vineyard,
Declaring the word of the Lord.
Robin Mark.

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.
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.

TELL OUT, MY SOUL, the greatness of the Lord!
Unnumbered blessings give my spirit voice.
Tender to me the promise of His word,
In God my Saviour shall my heart rejoice.
Tell out, my soul, the greatness of His name!
Make known His might, the deeds His arm has done.
His mercy sure, from age to age the same.
His holy name - the Lord, the mighty One.
Tell out, my soul, the greatness of His might!
Powers and dominions lay their glory by.
Proud hearts and stubborn wills are put to flight,
The hungry fed, the humble lifted high.
Tell out, my soul, the glories of His word!
Firm is His promise, and His mercy sure:
Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord,
To children’s children and forever more!
Timothy Dudley-Smith.
