Welcome to Emmanuel

Hymn: At The Name Of Jesus

At The Name Of Jesus

Words: C M Noel (1817-77)
Music: Michael Brierley

At the name of Jesus
Every knee shall bow,
Every tongue confess Him
King of glory now:

'Tis the Father's pleasure
We should call him Lord,
Who from the beginning
Was the mighty Word.

Mighty and mysterious
In the highest height,
God from everlasting,
Very Light of light.

In the Father's bosom,
With the spirit's blest,
Love, in love eternal,
Rest, in perfect rest.

Humbled for a season,
To receive a name.
From the lips of sinners
Unto whom he came,

Faithfully he bore it
Spotless to the last,
Brought it back victorious,
When from death he passed:

Bore it up triumphant
With its human light,
Through all ranks of creatures, To the central height,
To the throne of Godhead,

To the Father's breast;
Filled it with the glory
Of that perfect rest.

Name him, brothers, name him,
With love as strong as death,
But with awe and wonder
And with bated breath:

He is God the Saviour,
He is Christ the Lord,
Ever to be worshipped,
Trusted, and adored.

In your hearts enthrone him;
There let him subdue
All that is not holy,
All that is not true:

Crown him as your captain
In temptation's hour;
Let his will enfold you
In it's light and power.

Brothers, this Lord Jesus
Shall return again,
With his Father's glory,
With his angel train;

For all wreaths of empire
Meet upon his brow,
And our hearts confess him
King of glory now.

Reading: Acts 8:14-17

Acts 8:14-17

read by Barbara Thomas

When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to Samaria.

When they arrived, they prayed for the new believers there that they might receive the Holy Spirit,

because the Holy Spirit had not yet come on any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

Liturgy: Readings

This is the word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Hymn: On Jordan's Bank The Baptist's Cry

On Jordan's Bank The Baptist's Cry

Words: Charles Coffin (1676-1749)
translated by John Chandler (1808-76)
Music: adapted from a chorale in
Musicalisches Hand-Buch, Hamberg 1690

On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
announces that the Lord is nigh.
Awake and harken, for he brings
glad tidings of the King of kings!

Then cleansed be every life from sin:
make straight the way for God within,
and let us all our hearts prepare
for Christ to come and enter there.

We hail you as our Savior, Lord,
our refuge and our great reward.
Without your grace we waste away
like flowers that wither and decay.

Stretch forth your hand, our health restore,
and make us rise to fall no more.
O let your face upon us shine
and fill the world with love divine.

All praise to you, eternal Son,
whose advent has our freedom won,
whom with the Father we adore,
and Holy Spirit, evermore.

Liturgy: Gospel Reading (part 1)

Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to N.
Glory to you, O Lord.

Reading: Luke 3:15-17,21,22

Luke 3:15-17,21,22

read by Les Ball

The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John might possibly be the Messiah.

John answered them all, "I baptize you with water. But one who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

His winnowing fork is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."

When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened

and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: "You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased."

Liturgy: Gospel Reading (part 2)

This is the Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, O Christ.

Hymn: Meekness And Majesty

Meekness And Majesty

Words & Music: Graham Kendrick

Meekness and majesty,
Manhood and Deity,
In perfect harmony,
The Man who is God.

Lord of eternity
Dwells in humanity,
Kneels in humility
And washes our feet.

O what a mystery,
Meekness and majesty.
Bow down and worship
For this is your God,
This is your God.

Father's pure radiance,
Perfect in innocence,
Yet learns obedience
To death on a cross.

Suffering to give us life,
Conquering through sacrifice,
And as they crucify
Prays: 'Father forgive.'

O what a mystery,
Meekness and majesty.
Bow down and worship
For this is your God,
This is your God.

Wisdom unsearchable,
God the invisible,
Love indestructible
In frailty appears.

Lord of infinity,
Stooping so tenderly,
Lifts our humanity
To the heights of His throne.

O what a mystery,
Meekness and majesty.
Bow down and worship
For this is your God,
This is your God.

Liturgy: Prayer 1

Yours, Lord, is the greatness, the power,
the glory, the splendour, and the majesty;

for everything in heaven and on earth is yours.
All things come from you,
and of your own do we give you.

Hymn: All People That On Earth Do Dwell

All People That On Earth Do Dwell

Words: William Kethe (1520-94)
Music: Melody from the Genevan Psalter, 1551

All people that on earth do dwell,
sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.
Him serve with mirth, his praise forth tell;
come ye before Him and rejoice.

The Lord, ye know, is God indeed;
without our aid He did us make;
we are His folk, He doth us feed,
and for his sheep He doth us take.

O enter then his gates with praise;
approach with joy his courts unto;
praise, laud, and bless his name always,
for it is seemly so to do.

For why? The Lord our God is good;
His mercy is forever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
and shall from age to age endure.

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
the God whom heaven and earth adore,
from men and from the angel host
be praise and glory evermore.
