Come people of the risen king,
Who delight to bring Him praise;
Come all and tune your hearts to sing
To the Morning Star of grace.
From the shifting shadows of the earth
We will lift our eyes to Him,
Where steady arms of mercy reach
To gather children in.

Rejoice, Rejoice!
Let every tongue rejoice!
One heart, one voice;
O Church of Christ, rejoice!

Come, those whose joy is morning sun,
And those weeping through the night;
Come, those who tell of battles won,
And those struggling in the fight.
For His perfect love will never change,
And His mercies never cease,
But follow us through all our days
With the certain hope of peace.

Rejoice, Rejoice…

Come, young and old from every land –
Men and women of the faith;
Come, those with full or empty hands –
Find the riches of His grace.
Over all the world, His people sing –
Shore to shore we hear them call
The Truth that cries through every age:
“Our God is all in all”!

Rejoice, Rejoice…

Man of sorrows, Lamb of God,
By His own betrayed.
The sin of man and wrath of God
Has been on Jesus laid.

Silent as He stood accused,
Beaten, mocked and scorned.
Bowing to the Father’s will,
He took a crown of thorns.

Oh that rugged cross:
My salvation,
Where Your love poured out over me.
Now my soul cries out:
“Hallelujah!”
Praise and honour unto Thee.

Sent of heaven – God’s own Son –
To purchase and redeem,
And reconcile the very ones
Who nailed Him to that tree.

Oh that rugged cross…

Now my debt is paid,
It is paid in full
By the precious blood
That my Jesus spilled.
Now the curse of sin
Has no hold on me.
Whom the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed.
(repeat)

Oh that rugged cross…

See the stone is rolled away,
Behold the empty tomb.
Hallelujah, God be praised,
He’s risen from the grave!
‬
Oh that rugged cross…

CONFESSION
Together: Most merciful God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we confess that we have sinned in thought, word and deed. We have not loved you with our whole heart. We have not loved our neighbours as ourselves. In your mercy forgive what we have been, help us to amend what we are, and direct what we shall be; that we may do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with you, our God. Amen.
Leader: God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21 NIV

A debtor to mercy alone,
of covenant mercy I sing;
no fear, with Your righteousness on,
my person and off’ring to bring.
My guilt and my shame, now O God,
with me can have nothing to do;
my Saviour’s obedience and blood
hide all my transgressions from view.

Your mercy alone,
Your mercy alone,
This my strong sure hope.
Your mercy alone,
Your mercy alone:
My confidence You’ll lead me home.

The work which Your goodness began,
the arm of Your strength will complete;
Your promise is ‘yes’ and ‘amen’,
which never shall any defeat.
Things future, nor things that are now,
nor all things below or above,
can make You Your purpose forgo,
or sever my soul from Your love.

Your mercy alone…

For my name, now engraved on the palms of Your hands,
eternity will not erase;
impressed in the depths of Your heart it remains
in marks of indelible grace.
(repeat)

And though to this day I have strayed,
Yet Jesus, my life, intercedes,
Proclaiming the price fully paid:
His sacrifice for me he pleads.
Yes, I to the end shall endure,
For to me God’s vow has been giv’n;
more happy, but not more secure,
the glorified spirits in heav’n.

Your mercy alone…

How I love the voice of Jesus
On the cross of Calvary
He declares His work is finished
He has spoken this hope to me

Though the sun had ceased its shining
Though the war appeared as lost
Christ had triumphed over evil
It was finished upon that cross

Now the curse it has been broken
Jesus paid the price for me
Full, the pardon He has offered
Great, the welcome that I receive

Boldly I approach my Father
Clothed in Jesus’ righteousness
There is no more guilt to carry
It was finished upon that cross

Death was once my great opponent
Fear once had a hold on me
But the Son who died to save us
Rose that we would be free indeed!

Death was once my great opponent
Fear once had a hold on me
But the Son who died to save us
Rose that we would be free indeed!
Yes, He rose that we would be free indeed!

Free from every plan of darkness
Free to live and free to love
Death is dead and Christ is risen!
It was finished upon that cross

Onward to eternal glory
To my Saviour and my God
I rejoice in Jesus’ victory
It was finished upon that cross

It was finished upon that cross
It was finished upon that cross

Your will be done, my God and father
As in Heaven, so on earth
My heart is drawn to self exalting
Help me seek Your kingdom first
As Jesus walked, so I shall walk
Held by Your same unchanging love
Be still my soul
Oh, lift your voice and pray
Father not my will but Yours be done

How in that garden he persisted
I may never fully know
The fearful weight of true obedience
It was held by him alone
What wondrous faith, to bear that cross
To bear my sin, what wondrous love
My hope was sure
When there my Saviour prayed
Father not my will but Yours be done

When I am lost, when I am broken
In the night of fear and doubt
Still I will trust in my good Father
Yes, to one great King I bow!
As Jesus rose, so I shall rise
In ransomed glory at the throne
My heart restored
With all your saints I sing
Father, not my will but Yours be done

As we go forth, our God and Father
Lead us daily in the fight
That all the world might see Your glory
And Your Name be lifted high
And in this Name we overcome
For You shall see us safely home
Now as your church
We lift our voice and pray
Father, not my will but Yours be done
