CH4 351, played by Catriona Lachlan
Jesus’ hands were kind hands, doing good to all,
Healing pain and sickness, blessing children small;
Washing tired feet, and saving those who fall;
Jesus’ hands were kind hands, doing good to all.
 
Take my hands, Lord Jesus, let them work for you,
Make them strong and gentle, kind in all I do;
Let me watch you, Jesus, till I’m gentle too,
Till my hands are kind hands, quick to work for you.

CH4 562:1-3
Through the love of God, our Saviour,
All will be well.
Free and changeless is his favour;
All, all is well.
Precious is the blood that healed us,
Perfect is the grace that sealed us,
Strong the hand stretched forth to shield us;
All must be well.

Though we pass through tribulations,
All will be well.
Ours is such a full salvation,
All, all is well.
Happy still in God confiding,
Fruitful, if in Christ abiding,
Holy, through the Spirit’s guiding;
All must be well.

We expect a bright tomorrow;
All will be well.
Faith can sing through days of sorrow,
‘All, all is well.’
On our Father’s love relying,
Jesus every need supplying,
In our living, in our dying,
All must be well.

The Church of Scotland are delighted to announce a special 'Heart and Soul 2020' event will take place online on Sunday 17th May starting at 2pm - and lasting till around 4.20pm.

Although the current restrictions around Covid meant the event in Princes Street Gardens had to be cancelled, a number of the features planned could be transferred into an online format and will be available to view at www.churchofscotland.org.uk and live on the Facebook page fb.me/churchofscotland.

The event begins with a replay of the service of installation for the new Moderator, Rev Dr Martin Fair, then features a mix of worship, music (with a special piece led by Fischy Music) stories and interesting and topical 'In Conversation' guests. In one session, Hugh Pym will be in conversation with Professor Jason Leitch and Viv Dickinson from CrossReach discussing how they have been tackling Coronavirus and how their own faith has helped them. Very Rev Susan Brown will also be in conversation with Ross Greer MSP and Tara Shannon from CoSY discussing climate justice.

 

You can also follow the special service on 16th May in the Assembly Hall to install Rev Dr Martin Fair as Moderator of the General Assembly in the physical presence of only a few people. However, everyone can watch the service online at www.churchofscotland.org.uk

CH4 154 How Great Thou Art
O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works Thy Hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
How Great Thou art, How Great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
How Great Thou art, How Great Thou art

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees
When I look up from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze
Chorus
And when I think of God, His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin
Chorus
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And lead me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow with humble adoration
And then proclaim, My God, How Great Thou Art
Chorus

Hymn: Written by Christopher Idle
(Tune CH4 234, O Waly, Waly)
 
O Lord whose love designed this day,
you walked with us along the road;
so as the daylight fades away
stay with us when we rest our load.

Our stumbling steps were known to you
before we recognised your face;
you loved us long before we knew
your covenant of saving grace.

You spoke your word of truth to us,
bringing us gladness when we grieved;
we found forgiveness at your cross,
and yet how slowly we believed!
