THE SALUTATION
THE OPENING
MIN: IIn the name of God the Father , the Son and the Holy Spirit.
CONG: Amen
Min: The grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Cong: And also with you.
Min: Our help is in the name of the Lord
Cong: Who made heaven and earth.
THE OPENING HYMN: My Faith Has Found A Resting Place
1. My faith has found a resting place
Not in deviice nor creed,
I trust the ever living one
His wounds for me shall plead.
I need no other argument
i need no other plea
It is enough that Jesus died
And died He died for me
2. Enough for me that Jesus saves
This ends my fear and doubt
A sinful soul I come to Him
He'll never cast me out
3. My heart is leaning on the word
The written word of God
Salvation by my Saviour's name
Salvation through His blood.
4. My great physician heals the sick
The lost He came to save
For me his precious blood He shed
For me His life he gave.
THE OPENING SENTENCE:
The Lord your God who has compassion on you says; "the mountains may depart and the hills may be removed , but my steadfast love shall not depart from you and my covenant of peace shall not be removed".
THE PSALM
Min. Let us pray with the wordingsof Ps. 103
The lord is merciful and loving
slow to become angry and full of constant love.
He does not keep on rebuking ; He is not angry forever
He does not punish us as we deserve or repay us
according to our sins and wrongs.
As high as the sky is above the earth,
Sogreat is His love for those who honour Him
As far as the east is from the west ,
as a father is kind to his children,
So the lord is kind to those who honour Him.
He knows what we are made of;
He remembers that we are dust
And for us, our life is like grass.
We grow and flourish like a wild flower
Then the wind blows on it, and it is gone.

To pefect faith and love
To perfect hope and peace and trust
For earth and HEAVEN above

the blessed work within ,
By adding grace to welcome grace ,
where reigned the power of sin.

All hail redeeming grace!
All hail the gift of Christ our Lord ,
Our strength and Rightneousness.
THE RESPONSIVE READING
MIN: "Lord , how long will i live? when shall i die?
Tell me how soon my live will end."
CONG:How short you have made my life
in your sight my lifetime seems nothing.
Indeed every living being is no more than a puff of wind,
MIN: No more than a shadow . All they do is for nothing :
They gather wealth, but don't know who will get it.
CONG: What, then, can I hope for Lord?
MIN: Save me from all my sins ,
And don't let fools laugh at me.
CONG: I will keep quiet ;i will not say a word,
For you are the one who made me suffer like this?
MIN: Don't punish me anymore !
I am about to die from your blows .
CONG: You punish our sins by your rebukes
And like a moth you destroy what we love
Indeed we are no more than a puff of wind.
MIN: Hear my prayer , Lord , and listen to my cry
Come to my aid when i weep.Like my ancestors ,
I am only your guest for a little while.
CONG: leave me alone so that i may have some happiness ,
before i go away and am no more.
MIN: Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
CONG: As itwas in the beginning , is now, and ever shall be, world without end . Amen.
SONG: SS&S134
1 Jesus , keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain,
free to all - a healing stream--------
Flows from Calvary's mountain
In the cross , in the cross
Be my Glory ever,
Till my raptured soul shall ffind
Rest, beyond the river.
2. Near the cross , a trembling soul,
Love and mercy foun me,
There the bright and morning star ,
Sheds ats beam around me.
3. Near the cross ! Oh Lamb of God ,
Bring its scenes before me:
Help me walk from day to day ,
With its shadow o'er me
4. Nera the cross I 'll watch and wait,
Hoping , trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand
Just beyond the river.
