Welcome & Announcements

Call to Worship | St Patrick’s Breastplate

Traditional Celtic Prayer (revised)

We gather today
through a mighty strength: the invocation of the Trinity;
through belief in the Threeness and confession of the Oneness
of the Creator of creation.

We gather today through
God’s strength to pilot us,
God’s eye to look before us,
God’s wisdom to guide us,
God’s way to lie before us,
God’s shield to protect us,

God's ear to hear us,
God's word to speak for us,
God's hand to guard us,
God's way to lie before us,
God's shield to protect us,
God's host to secure us.

Saviour Like A Shepherd Lead Us
(Alternate Melody)

Lyrics: Dorothy A. Thrupp
Arrangement: Leigh Nash (Hymns & Sacred Songs album)

Saviour, like a shepherd lead us
Much we need thy tender care
In thy pleasant pastures feed us
For our use thy folds prepare

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus
Thou hast bought us, thine we are
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus
Thou hast bought us, thine we are

We are thine, thou dost befriend us
Be the guardian of our way
Keep thy flock, from sin defend us
Seek us when we go astray

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus
Hear oh hear us when we pray
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus
Hear oh hear us when we pray

Thou hast promised to receive us
Poor and sinful though we be
Thou hast mercy to relieve us
Grace to cleanse and power to free

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus
We will early turn to thee
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus
We will early turn to thee

Prayer | St Patrick’s Breastplate

(Continued from above)

From all who shall wish us ill,
afar and a-near,
alone and in a multitude;
Against every cruel merciless power
that may oppose our bodies and souls:

Christ with us, Christ before us,
Christ behind us, Christ in us,

Christ beneath us, Christ above us,
Christ on our right, Christ on our left,
Christ when we lie down, Christ when we sit down,
Christ when we arise, Christ to shield us.

Everything We Need

In the morning Lord we look to you
For the strength we need make it through
Have mercy, feed us Lord
In the evening we look back and say
It was in your strength that we made our way
Have mercy, feed us Lord

You are everything we need, feed us Lord
You are everything we need, feed us Lord

Blessing | St Patrick’s Breastplate

(Continued from above)

Christ in the heart
of everyone who thinks of you.
Christ in the mouth
of everyone who speaks of you.
May the salvation of the Lord be ever with you.
Amen.

You Are With Me

My heart is heavy and tired in this valley
Mountains grow higher and higher but I can’t find you
I’ll keep lifting my eyes, I know you’re with me

I hear your voice when you cry, "Comfort, comfort"
Sorrow may last for a night but in the morning
Your joy breaks in with the light, I know you’re with me

I know you’re with me and you are for me
You’ve been behind me, you go before
You walk beside me through darkest valleys
I know you are with me

You led me here where it’s dry, out in the desert
You bring these bones back to life, you put together
You sing a song of delight, I know you’re with me

You will be praised – I will, oh I will wait
You will be praised – I will, oh I will wait

Scripture | Psalm 23 (NRSV)

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
he leads me beside still waters;
he restores my soul.
He leads me in right paths
for his name’s sake.

Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I fear no evil;
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff—
they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD
my whole life long.

Homily | The Lord is My Shepherd

Matthew Lynch - Assistant Professor of Old Testament

All The Way My Savior Leads Me

Original Lyrics (revised): Fanny Jane Crosby
Tune & Chorus Lyrics: Chris Tomlin & Matt Redman

All the way my Savior leads me
Who have I to ask beside?
How could I doubt his tender mercy
Who through life has been my guide?

All the way my Savior leads me
Cheers each winding path I tread
Gives me grace for every trial
Feeds me with the living Bread

You lead me and keep me from falling
You carry me close to your heart
And surely your goodness and mercy
Will follow me (will follow me)

All the way my Savior leads me
Oh the fullness of his love
Oh the sureness of his promise
In the triumph of his blood

When my being clothed immortal
Wings its flight to realms of day
This my song through endless ages:
"Jesus led me all the way!
Jesus led me all the way!"

All the way my Savior leads me (Repeat)

Benediction
