OPENING HYMN CHOIR ONLY
 No. 659 “Eternal Father, Strong to Save”Melita
 Eternal Father, strong to save,
 whose arm has bound the restless wave,
 who bade the mighty ocean deep
 its own appointed limits keep:
 O hear us when we cry to thee
 for those in peril on the sea.
 O Christ, whose voice the waters heard
 and hushed their raging at thy word,
 who walked upon the foaming deep,
 and calm amid the storm didst sleep:
 O hear us when we cry to thee
 for those in peril on the sea.
 O Holy Spirit, who didst brood
 upon the chaos dark and rude,
 and bade its angry tumult cease,
 and gave for wild confusion, peace:
 O hear us when we cry to thee
 for those in peril on the sea.
 O Trinity of love and power,
 all travellers guard in danger’s hour.
 From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
 protect them whereso’er they go:
 thus evermore shall rise to thee
 glad hymns of praise from land and sea.

 as we forgive those who trespass against us.
 And lead us not into temptation,
 but deliver us from evil.
 For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory,
 for ever and ever. Amen.

MINISTRY OF MUSIC CHOIR ONLY
 “The Heavens Sing Praises to God”                                                      Beethoven arr. Bullard
                                                                                                ... TEMC Trio
 The heavens sing praises to God in his glory, and all earth echoes with his name. The universe tells the wonderful story
 and to the spheres his might proclaim! Who set the numberless stars in the heavens? Who gave to us the mighty sun? That
 shines so brightly, so brightly upon us, and lights our path as we sing praise, and lights our path as we sing praise!

                                  THE WORD OF GOD

SCRIPTURE READING
 Psalm 130
 Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord. Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be
 attentive to the voice of my supplications! If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
 Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be
 revered. I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits
 for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning, more than those
 who watch for the morning. O Israel, hope in the Lord! For with the Lord there is
 steadfast love, and with him is great power to redeem. It is he who will redeem
 Israel from all its iniquities.
SONG OF PREPARATION CHOIR ONLY
 “O Valiant Hearts”
 O valiant hearts, who to your glory came
 Through dust of conflict and through battle flame;
 Tranquil you lie, your knightly virtue proved,
 Your memory hallowed in the land you loved.
 Proudly you gathered, rank on rank to war,
 As who had heard God’s message from afar;
 All you had hoped for, all you had, you gave
 To save mankind–yourself you scorned to save.
 Splendid you passed, the great surrender made;
 Into the light that nevermore shall fade;
 Deep your contentment in that blest abode,
 Who wait the last clear trumpet-call of God.
 O risen Lord, O Shepherd of our dead,
 Whose Cross has bought them, and whose star has led,
 In glorious hope their proud and sorrowing land
 Commits her children to Thy gracious hand.

 Come down, O Love divine! Seek out this soul of mine and visit it with your own ardour glowing; O Comforter, draw near,
 within my heart appear, and kindle it, your holy flame bestowing. Let holy charity my outward vesture be, and lowliness
 become my inner clothing; true lowliness of heart which takes the humbler part, and for its own shortcomings weeps with
 loathing. And so the yearning strong with which the soul will long shall far surpass the power of human telling; for none

                                                            5
can guess its grace till we become the place in which the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling. There let it freely burn till earthly
 passions turn to dust and ashes in its heat consuming; and let your glorious light shine ever on my sight, and make my
 pathway clear, by your illuming.

CLOSING HYMN CHOIR ONLY
 No. 806 “O God, Our Help in Ages Past”                                                                              St. Anne
 O God, our help in ages past,
 our hope for years to come,
 our shelter from the stormy blast,
 and our eternal home:
 under the shadow of thy throne
 thy saints have dwelt secure;
 sufficient is thine arm alone,
 and our defence is sure
 Before the hills in order stood,
 or earth received its frame,
 from everlasting thou art God,
 to endless years the same.
 A thousand ages, in thy sight,
 are like an evening gone,
 short as the watch that ends the night
 before the rising sun.
 Time like an ever-rolling stream
 soon bears us all away;
 we fly forgotten, as a dream
 dies at the opening day.
 O God, our help in ages past,
 our hope for years to come,
 be thou our guide while troubles last,
 and our eternal home.
