Hymn RS 599 (tune RS 38) Christ for the world we sing
By Samuel Wolcott 1869
Christ for the world we sing!
The world to Christ we bring, with loving zeal:
the poor and them that mourn, the faint and overborne,
sin-sick and sorrow worn, for Christ to heal.

Christ for the world we sing! The world to Christ we bring,
with fervent prayer: the wayward and the lost,
by restless passions tossed,
redeemed at countless cost, from dark despair.

Christ for the world we sing!
The world to Christ we bring: with one accord:
with us the work to share, with us reproach to dare,
with us the cross to bear, for Christ our Lord.

Christ for the world we sing! The world to Christ we bring,
with joyful song: the new-born souls, whose days,
reclaimed from error’s ways, inspired with hope and praise,
to Christ belong.

Prayers for our worldjoys & concerns Joan Smith

Closing Hymn
RS 521 Forth in the name, by Charles Wesley 1749
Forth in thy name, O Lord, I go,
My daily labour to pursue;
thee, only thee, resolved to know
In all I think, or speak, or do.

The task thy wisdom hath assigned,
O let me cheerfully fulfill;
In all my works thy presence find,
And prove thy good and perfect will.

Thee may I set at my right hand,
Whose eyes my inmost substance see,
And labour on at thy command,
And offer all my works to thee.

Give me to bear thy easy yoke,
and every moment watch and pray,
and still to things eternal look,
and hasten to thy glorious day.

For thee delightfully employ
whate’er thy bounteous grace hath given;
and run my course with even joy,
and closely walk with thee to heaven.

Closing prayer
Lord, show us your way; help us know your truth and to live your life, as we seek to be your living stones in this world. Amen

Blessing & the Grace
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God,
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit
be with us all, now and evermore. Amen.

Reminders to keep our Zoom service running smoothly:
  • Please keep your microphone muted unless you are speaking.
  • When we sing and pray together, we will hear one voice, and the others will be muted.
  • If the technology is compromised for any reason or goes totally wonky, we will end the on-line service immediately. If that should happen, we’ll try to restart as soon as possible, sending out an email to notify you.
  • At this time, we are not requiring a password, to ease the access for those still learning the 'Zoom ropes'.
