you may smile at all your foes.
2 See, the streams of living waters,
springing from eternal love,
well supply your sons and daughters
and all fear of want remove:
who can faint while such a river
ever flows their thirst to assuage -

makes them kings and priests to God.

over self to reign as kings,
and as priests, his solemn praises
each for a thank-offering brings.

I, through grace, a member am,
let the world deride or pity,

fading are the worldlings' pleasures,
all their boasted pomp and show;
solid joys and lasting treasures
none but Zion's children know. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:1-8 Languages: English Tune Title: ABOT'S LEIGH

With rare perfume she filled the room,
preparing Christ for dying.

arising from submission.
A faithful woman left a tomb,
with resurrection gospel.
She saw, she heard, she preached the Word,
apostle to apostles.
3 Though woman-wisdom, woman-truth,
for centuries were hidden,
unsung, unwritten, and unheard,
derided and forbidden,
the Spirit’s breath, the Spirit’s fire,
on free and slave descending,
can tumble our dividing walls,
our shame and sadness mending.

by Love’s divine ordaining,
the friends we need to serve and lead,
their powers and gifts unchaining.
The Spirit knows, the Spirit calls,
from women, men and children,
the friends we need, to serve and lead.
Rejoice, and make them welcome! Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 Languages: English Tune Title: MEGERRAN

the world sees her oppressed,
by schisms rent asunder,
by heresies distressed,
yet saints their watch are keeping,
their cry goes up, 'How long?'
and soon the night of weeping
shall be the morn of song.
4 Through toil and tribulation
and tumult of her war
she waits the consummation
of peace for evermore,
till with the vision glorious
her longing eyes are blessed,
and the great church victorious
shall be the church at rest.

with God the Three in One,
and mystic sweet communion
with those whose rest is won.

like them, the meek and lowly,
in heaven to seek your face. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

anoint with power from heaven above
whenever gospel truth is heard.

confusion, order in your path;
souls without strength inspire with might;
bid mercy triumph over wrath.

the whole round earth its God to meet;
and breathe abroad like morning air,
till hearts of stone begin to beat.
5 Baptize the nations; far and wide
the triumphs of the Cross record;
the name of Christ be glorified;
let every people call him Lord.

Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see
the distant scene - one step enough for me.

shouldst lead me on.
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
lead thou me on.
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears
pride ruled my will: remember not past years.
3 So long thy power hath blest me, sure it still
will lead me on,
o'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till
the night is gone;
and with the morn those angel faces smile,
which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.

promise to love and share your life with Mary;

fears fled when in a dream God's holy angel
told you to cherish Wisdom born of Marry,
naming him Jesus.

left only you as midwife for the birthing.
You helped and guarded Mary as she laboured,
bringing us Jesus.
4 Joseph, your anxious caring set you dreaming,
dreams full of warning, dreams of death and danger.
Trusting your spirit, you were quick and acted,
saving your Jesus.
5 Joseph, your loving presence and protection
prompted your son to share with his disciples
his name for love most freeing, deep and faithful:
'Abba, dear father'.

when life is crisis, chaos, or destruction:
may we, like you, find, growing up among us,
Christ's loving presence. Scripture: Mark 14:22-31 Languages: English Tune Title: HEALING
