A hymn is sung

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim
Till all the world adore His sacred name!

Come, Christians, follow where our Saviour trod,
O’er death victorious, Christ, the Son of God:

Set up thy throne, that earth’s despair may cease
Beneath the shadow of its healing peace:

For thy blest cross which doth for all atone,
Creation’s praises rise before thy throne:

So let the world proclaim with one accord
The praises of our ever-living Lord:

This is the day that the Lord has made.

Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

The Collect prayer for the fifth Sunday of Lent

Most merciful God,
who by the death and resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ
delivered and saved the world:
grant that by faith in him who suffered on the cross
we may triumph in the power of his victory;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.

The Prayers

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come; thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
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.

Blessing

A hymn is sung

Christ triumphant, ever reigning,
Saviour, Master, King,
Lord of heav’n, our lives sustaining,
hear us as we sing:
