1) All who are thirsty Blessed Be Your name


all who are weak When I'm found in the desert place
come to the fountain Though I walk through the wilderness
dip your heart in the stream of life Blessed Be Your name
let the pain and the sorrow
be washed away, Every blessing You pour out, I'll
in the wave of his mercy Turn back to praise
as deep cries out to deep, we sing When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say
Come Lord Jesus, come
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
2) Wonderful, so wonderful Blessed be the name of the Lord
Is your unfailing love Blessed be Your glorious name
Your cross has spoken mercy over me
Blessed be Your name
No eye has seen no ear has heard When the sun's shining down on me
No heart could fully know When the world's 'all as it should be'
How glorious, how beautiful you are Blessed be Your name
Blessed be Your name
Beautiful one I love you On the road marked with suffering
Beautiful one I adore Though there's pain in the offering
Beautiful one my soul must sing Blessed be Your name
You give and take away
Powerful so powerful You give and take away
Your glory fills the skies My heart will choose to say
Your mighty works displayed for all to Lord, blessed be Your name

4) Awaken my soul, come awake
The beauty of your majesty To hunger, to seek, to thirst
Awakes my heart to sing Awaken first love, come awake
How marvellous how wonderful you are And do as You did at first
You opened my eyes to your Spirit of the Living God
wonders anew come fall afresh on me
You captured my heart with this love Come wake me from my sleep
Because nothing on earth is Blow through the caverns of my soul
as beautiful as you Pour in me to overflow,
to overflow
3) Blessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful Spirit come and fill this place
Where Your streams of abundance flow Let Your glory now invade
Blessed be Your name Spirit come and fill this place
Let Your glory now invade

Hymn (as announced)

Psalm 90 (91)

He will conceal you with his wings; you will not fear the terror of the night.

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High


and abides in the shade of the Almighty
says to the Lord: ‘My refuge,
my stronghold, my God in whom I trust!’

It is he who will free you from the snare


of the fowler who seeks to destroy you;
he will conceal you with his pinions
and under his wings you will find refuge.

You will not fear the terror of the night


nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the plague that prowls in the darkness
nor the scourge that lays waste at noon.
25
A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand fall at your right,
you, it will never approach;
his faithfulness is buckler and shield.

Your eyes have only to look


to see how the wicked are repaid,
you who have said: ‘Lord, my refuge!’
and have made the Most High your dwelling.
Upon you no evil shall fall,
no plague approach where you dwell.
For you has he commanded his angels,
to keep you in all your ways.

They shall bear you upon their hands


lest you strike your foot against a stone.
On the lion and the viper you will tread
and trample the young lion and the dragon.

Since he clings to me in love, I will free him;


protect him for he knows my name.
When he calls I shall answer: ‘I am with you,’
I will save him in distress and give him glory.

With length of life I will content him;


I shall let him see my saving power.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.

He will conceal you with his wings; you will not fear the terror of the night.

Reading
Apocalypse 22:4-5

They will see the Lord face to face, and his name will be written on their

for ever and ever.
