'Saved for Glory' : a Hymn for Today

Saved for Glory 87 87
Tune: All to Jesus
Saved for glory by the Saviour,
Christ is all in all to me;
I will tell the wondrous story,
How He came to set us free.Saved by Christ alone!
Saved by Christ alone!
Saved for glory by the Saviour,
Saved by Christ alone!

He came down to bring us freedom,
From man’s own self-righteous law;
Came to grant us free salvation,
Tell it out from door to door.

Saved by Christ alone!
Saved by Christ alone!
Saved for glory by the Saviour,
Saved by Christ alone!

Christ, the one Son of the Father,
God incarnate came to earth;
When you claim through Him redemption,
Through God’s Spirit get rebirth.

Saved by Christ alone!
Saved by Christ alone!
Saved for glory by the Saviour,
Saved by Christ alone!

You can claim this glorious blessing,
You receive the bounty free;
You can sing the Saviour’s story,
Tell it out aloud like me.

Saved by Christ alone!
Saved by Christ alone!
Saved for glory by the Saviour,
Saved by Christ alone!

Tell the world you’re saved for glory,
That in heav’n one day we’ll meet;
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
We will worship at their feet.

Saved by Christ alone!
Saved by Christ alone!
Saved for glory by the Saviour,
Saved by Christ alone!

A hymn for the Sunday School: 'Little Children'

Little Children   7777 

Tune: Jesus Loves Me

Little children pure and sweet,

Worship at the Saviour’s feet;

He looks down at them to say,

Walk My straight and narrow way.

      Yes! Jesus loves them!

      Yes! Jesus loves them!

      Yes! Jesus loves them!

      The Bible tells us so.

Jesus seated on the ground,

Called the children, gather round;

Drew them close to be with Him,

Gave them life, pure, free from sin.

Yes! Jesus loves them!

Yes! Jesus loves them!

Yes! Jesus loves them!

The Bible tells us so.

Promised them that He’d be there,

And would hear their every prayer;

He’d supply their every need,

All His little lambs He’d lead.

Yes! Jesus loves them!

Yes! Jesus loves them!

Yes! Jesus loves them!

The Bible tells us so.

'Christ is the Light' : A Hymn of Hope

Christ is the Light   CM

TUNE: Wiltshire

Christ is the light of all the world,

Yet with the darkest night;

Lit by His glory and His love,

He turns the dark to light.

Christ came into a world of sin,

To cast the dark away;

He came to bring mankind the Light,

And give the brightest day.

His is the light with which we shine,

When we call Him our friend;

He is our Saviour and our Lord,

We’ll serve Him to the end.

We’ll shine for Him in this dark world,

We’ll be a lamp of grace;

We’ll boldly go into the dark

Till we stand face to face.

in faith with your Lord,

there’s nothing you cannot do.

and walking with God ―

Then you can move mountains,

that stand in your way,

yes, you can move mountains

by faith every day!

You can move mountains,

it says in the Word,

You can move mountains

when you love the Lord.

When you walk in faith,

with Christ in your heart,

Safe in the palm of His hand;

in trust and in faith,

with Him by your side ―

Then you can move mountains,

that stand in your way,

yes, you can move mountains

You can move mountains,

3 Hymns for use at The Communion Service

Communion (1)  7676

TUNE: Aurelia

We gather round your table,

as in the upper floor,

to thank You and remember,

Until You come once more.

We come now in repentance,

then, cleansed by mercy fine,

just as did Your disciples,

we share the bread and wine.

Your sacrificial off’ring,

the way Your blood was shed,

we drink the wine in mem’ry,

then break and eat the bread.

We wait for your return, Lord,

for on that glorious day,

we’ll join with you together,

then in your rest we’ll stay.

Our heads bowed low before You,

forgiven, pure in heart,

we rise up from Your table,

once more to take our part.

Sacred and blessed communion,

that we have shared this day,

is drawing to a close now ,

but in our hearts will stay.

Bread and Wine LM

TUNE:  Old 100th 

Redeemed by Him, and then restored,

Keeping the death of Christ the Lord.

In memory we share this food,

The bread His flesh, the wine His blood.

Take, eat, and now remember Him,

His body broken in our stead,

In full forgiveness, till He come,

Share in the breaking of the bread.

Then as we take the cup of wine —

His life-blood shed to set us free —

Deeply we drink from draught of pain,

His blood was shed for you and me.

Our sweet communion, Three-in-One,

By mercy, through His grace, we meet

To share in this memorial feast,

Then praise and worship at His feet.

As to the Jordan  went our Lord,

So now we bring this child to you.

Baptise with water and with Word,

As you have bid us all to do.

As heir of our Redeemer’s grace;

A living symbol of our faith,

With water now a cross we trace.

On his/her behalf our promise make,

              To lead him/her in the Christian way;

To watch and teach, and help him/her learn

To follow Jesus every day.

So now dear Lord, we hand him/her o’er,

Into Your pure and loving care;

To mould him/her in Your perfect way,

Him/her for Your Kingdom to prepare.
