God of Mercy, God of Grace
God of mercy, God of grace,
show the brightness of Your face.
Shine upon us, Saviour, shine;
fill Your world with light divine,
and Your saving health extend
unto earth’s remotest end.
Let the people praise You, Lord;
be by all that live adored.
Let the nations shout and sing
glory to their gracious King;
at Your feet their tribute pay,
and Your holy will obey.
Let the people praise You, Lord;
earth shall then its fruits afford.
Unto us Your blessing give;
we to You devoted live,
all below and all above,
one in joy and light and love.

PSALM 100 – A Psalm of Thanksgiving
1 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Worship the Lord with gladness;
come into His presence with singing.
3 Know that the Lord is God.
It is He that made us, and we are His;
we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.
4 Enter His gates with thanksgiving,
and His courts with praise.
Give thanks to Him, bless His name.
5 For the Lord is good;
His steadfast love endures forever,
and His faithfulness to all generations.
Brother, Sister, Let Me Serve You
Brother, sister, let me serve you;
let me be as Christ to you;
pray that I may have the grace to
let you be my servant too.
We are pilgrims on a journey,
and companions on the road;
we are here to help each other
walk the mile and bear load.
I will hold the Christ-light for you
in the night-time of your fear;
I will hold my hand out to you,
speak the peace you long to hear.
I will weep when you are weeping;
when you laugh, I’ll laugh with you;
I will share your joy and sorrow,
till we’ve seen this journey through.
When we sing to God in heaven,
we shall find such harmony,
born of all we’ve known together
of Christ’s love and agony.
Brother, sister, let me serve you;
let me be as Christ to you;
pray that I may have the grace to
let you be my servant too.

Go Now in Peace
Go now in peace.
Never be afraid.
God will go with you each hour of ev’ry day.

Know He will guide you in all you do.
Go now in love, and show you believe.
Reach out to others
so all the world can see.
God will be there
watching from above.
Go now in peace, in faith, and in love.
Amen, Amen, Amen.
