How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
in a believer’s ear!
It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds,
and drives away our fear.

It makes the wounded spirit whole
and calms the troubled breast;
’tis manna to the hungry soul,
and, to the weary, rest.

Jesus my shepherd, brother, friend,
my Prophet, Priest, and King,
my Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
accept the praise I bring.

Weak is the effort of my heart,
how cold my warmest thought;
but when I see thee as thou art,
I’ll praise thee as I ought.

Till then I would thy love proclaim
with every fleeting breath;
and may the music of thy name
refresh my soul in death.

John Newton (1725-1807)
Tune: St Peter, Alexander Reinagle (17991-1877)

The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
This is the day that the Lord has made.
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Introduction

Almighty God, our heavenly Father,
we have sinned against you and against our neighbour,
in thought and word and deed,
through negligence, through weakness,
through our own deliberate fault.
We are truly sorry and repent of all our sins.
For the sake of your son, Jesus Christ, who died for us,
forgive us all that is past
and grant that we may serve you in newness of life
to the glory of your name. Amen

Absolution

The Collect for the Twentieth Sunday after Trinity

God, the giver of life,
whose Holy Spirit wells up within your Church:
by the Spirit’s gifts equip us to live the gospel of Christ
and make us eager to do your will,
that we may share with the whole creation
the joys of eternal life;
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

Talk
by Revd Alan Bayes

Lord, everything in heaven and earth is yours.
All things come from you and of your own do we give you.

The Lord’s Prayer
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.

God, our light and our salvation,
illuminate our lives
that we may see your goodness in the land of the living;
and, looking on your beauty,
may be changed into the likeness of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
Let us bless the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Blessing

Lord, enthroned in heavenly splendour,
first-begotten from the dead,
Thou alone, our strong defender,
liftest up thy people’s head.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Jesu, true and living Bread!

Here our humblest homage pay we;
here in loving reverence bow;
here for faith’s discernment pray we,
lest we fail to know Thee now.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thou art here, we ask not how.

Though the lowliest form doth veil Thee
as of old in Bethlehem,
here as there thine angels hail Thee,
branch and flower of Jesse’s stem.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
We in worship join with them.

Paschal Lamb! Thine offering finished
once for all when thou wast slain,
in its fullness undiminished
shall forevermore remain.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Cleansing souls from every stain.

Life-imparting heavenly manna,
stricken rock, with streaming side,
heaven and earth with loud hosanna
worship Thee, the Lamb who died.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Risen, ascended, glorified!
