Lord Prepare Me to Be a Sanctuary
(MV 18)

Lord, prepare me to be a sanctuary
Pure and holy, tried and true
With thanksgiving, I'll be a living
Sanctuary for you.






Call to Worship
Come and worship, the God of all Creation!
Our God is worthy of our praise and adoration.
Come and worship, the God of all Forgiveness!
Our God is ready and willing to forgive us our
sins and transgressions.
Come and worship, the God of Love!
We worship you, O God,
with all our heart, soul, and mind.



Sing Praise to God Who Reigns Above
(VU 216)

Sing praise to God who reigns above,
The God of all creation,
The God of power, the God of love,
The God of our salvation.
With healing balm my soul is filled
And every faithless murmur stilled:
To God all praise and glory.



What God's almighty power hath made
God's gracious mercy keepeth,
By morning glow or evening shade
God's watchful eye ne'er sleepeth;
Within the shelter of God's might,
Lo! all is just and all is right:
To God all praise and glory.

Our God is never far away,
But through all grief distressing,
An ever present help and stay,
Our peace and joy and blessing.
As with a mother's tender hand,
God gently leads the chosen band:
To God all praise and glory.


Thus, all my gladsome way along,
I sing aloud Thy praises,
That all may hear the grateful song
My voice unwearied raises.
Be joyful in your God, my heart!
Both soul and body take your part:
To God all praise and glory.


Spirit of God, Descend Upon My Heart
(VU 378)

Spirit of God, descend upon my heart,
wean it from sin, through all its pulses move.
Stoop to my weakness, strength to me impart
And make me love you as I ought to love.
I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies,
No sudden rending of the veil of clay,
No angel visitant, no opening skies;
But take the dimness of my soul away.

 
Have you bid me love you, God and King,
love you with all our heart and strength and mind?
I see the cross- there teach my heart to cling.
O let me seek you and O let me find!
Teach me to feel that you are always nigh;
teach me the struggles of the soul to bear,
to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh;
teach me the patience of unceasing prayer.

Teach me to love you as your angels love,
one holy passion filling all my frame:
the fullness of the heaven-descended Dove;
my heart an altar, and your love the flame.


Forth in Your Name, O Christ
(VU 416)

Forth in your name, O Lord, we go,
Our daily labour to pursue, you, only you,
Resolved to know in all we think,
Or speak or do.



The task your wisdom has assigned here
Let us cheerfully fulfill,
In all our works your presence find,
And prove your good and perfect will.


You may we set at our right hand,
Whose eyes our inmost secrets view,
And labour on at your command
And offer all our works to you.

Help us to bear your easy yoke,
In every moment watch and pray,
And still to things eternal look,
And hasten to that glorious day.


Then with delight may we employ
All that your bounteous grace has given,
And run our earthly course with joy,
And closely walk with you to heaven.
