Hymns at Home

CH4 457
Played by Catriona Lachlan at Polbeth Harwood Church
 

1. All hail the power of Jesus' name!
Let angels prostrate fall,
bring forth the royal diadem
And crown Him, crown Him, crown Him,

Crown Him Lord of all!
 
2. Crown him you martyrs of our God,
who witnessed to his call;
exalt the one whose path you trod,
And crown Him, crown Him, crown Him,

Crown Him Lord of all!
 
3. Let every tongue and every tribe,
responsive to the call,
to him all majesty ascribe
And crown Him, crown Him, crown Him,

Crown Him Lord of all!
 
4. O that with yonder sacred throng,
we at his feet may fall,
join in the everlasting song
And crown Him, crown Him, crown Him,

Crown Him Lord of all!

One of our lovely young people, Hamish, became aware of a need. He decided to do something about it, and now his act of kindness is inspiring many others to do the same...

CH4 609
Played by Catriona Lachlan at Polbeth Harwood Church
 
1 Come, living God, when least expected,
when minds are dull and hearts are cold,
through sharpening word and warm affection
revealing truths as yet untold.
 
2 Break from the tomb in which we hide you
to speak again in startling ways;
break through the words in which we bind you
to resurrect our lifeless praise.
 
3 Come now, as once you came to Moses
within the bush alive with flame,
or to Elijah on the mountain,
by silence pressing home your claim.
 
4 So, let our minds be sharp to read you
in sight or sound or printed page,
and let us greet you in our neighbours,
in ardent youth or mellow age.
 
5 Then, through our gloom, your Son will meet us
as vivid truth and living Lord,
exploding doubt and disillusion
to scatter hope and joy abroad.
 
6 Then we will share his radiant brightness
and, blazing through the dread of night,
illuminate by love and reason,
for those in darkness, faith's delight.

Due to the current lockdown restrictions, we are not able to have worship in our churches at the moment. But please remember: While our buildings might be closed – THE CHURCH IS STILL OPEN! Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you need any kind of support, or even just want a wee blether!

Every Sunday on our Church Website and Facebook pages, you can join in Sunday Worship form the comfort of your own home. There are 3 clips available: Church from your Couch, Hymns at Home, and Kids’ Kirk. These are available from 10am, but can be watched at any time after that. We also have a phone service, which means that if you don’t have internet access, you can dial 01506 286 884 to listen to the worship service. A transcript of the sermon is also available on the website.

Every now and again there will be an invitation to meet via Zoom over a cuppa after church. The log-in details will be posted with the service.

On Wednesdays at 4pm there is a Midweek Message on the Website and Facebook pages.

As soon as we are allowed to open our church doors again, we will do so – please keep an eye on the Webpage/Facebook for details about this and any other events.

During these strange times, please remember the words of Jesus at the very end of the Gospel according to Matthew: “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

May God be very close to you all.

CH4 (532) Lord you have come to the seashore
Played by Catriona Lachlan

Lord, you have come to the seashore,
neither searching for the rich nor the wise,
desiring only that I should follow.

O Lord, with your eyes set upon me,
gently smiling, you have spoken my name.
All I longed for I have found by the water,
at your side I will seek other shores.

Lord, see my goods, my possessions,
in my boat you find no power, no wealth.
Will you accept, then, my nets and labour?

O Lord, with your eyes set upon me,
gently smiling, you have spoken my name.
All I longed for I have found by the water,
at your side I will seek other shores.

Lord, take my hands and direct them.
Help me spend myself in seeking the lost,
returning love for the love you gave me.

O Lord, with your eyes set upon me,
gently smiling, you have spoken my name.
All I longed for I have found by the water,
at your side I will seek other shores.

Lord, as I drift on the waters,
be the resting-place of my restless heart,
my life's companion, my friend and refuge.

O Lord, with your eyes set upon me,
gently smiling, you have spoken my name.
All I longed for I have found by the water,
at your side I will seek other shores

Hymns at Home

CH4 251   Played by Catriona Lachlan
I, the Lord of sea and sky
I have heard my people cry
All who dwell in dark and sin
My hand will save 

I, who made the stars of night
I will make their darkness bright
Who will bear my light to them?
Whom shall I send?

Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night
I will go, Lord, if you lead me
I will hold your people in my heart

I, the Lord of snow and rain
I have borne my people's pain
I have wept for love of them
They turn away

I will break their hearts of stone
Give them hearts for love alone
Who will speak my word to them
Whom shall I send?

Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night
I will go, Lord, if you lead me
I will hold your people in my heart
 
I, the Lord of wind and flame
I will tend the poor and lame
I will set a feast for them
My hand will save

Finest bread I will provide
'Til their hearts be satisfied
I will give my life to them
Whom shall I send?

Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night
I will go, Lord, if you lead me
I will hold your people in my heart

CH4 96
Played by Catriona Lachlan in -The West Kirk of Calder

You are before me, Lord, You are behind.
And over me You have spread out Your hand;
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
Too high to grasp, to great to understand.

 
Then from Your Spirit where, Lord, shall I go;
And from Your presence where, Lord, shall I fly?
If I ascend to heaven You are there,
and still are with me if in hell I lie.

If I should take my flight into the dawn,
If I should dwell on ocean's farthest shore,
Your mighty hand will rest upon me still,
And Your right hand will guard me evermore.

If I should say, "Let darkness cover me,
And I shall hide within the veil of night,"
Surely the darkness is not dark to You;
The night is as the day, the darkness light.

Search me, O God, search me and know my heart;
Try me, O God, my mind and spirit try;
Keep me from any path that gives You pain,
And lead me in the everlasting way.
