Hymn: There's A Wideness In God's Mercy

There's A Wideness In God's Mercy

Words: Frederick William Faber (1814-63)
Music: Maurice Bevan (b 1921)

There's a wideness in God's mercy,
Like the wideness of the sea.
There's a kindness in His justice,
Which is more than liberty.
1/7
There is no place where earth's sorrows
Are more felt than up in heaven.
There is no place where earth's failings
Have such kindly judgment given.
2/7
For the love of God is broader
Than the measures of the mind.
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
3/7
But we make his love too narrow,
By false limits of our own,
And we magnify His strictness
With a zeal he will not own.
4/7
There is plentiful redemption
In the blood that has been shed;
There is joy for all the members
In the sorrows of the Head.
5/7
There is grace enough for thousands.
Of new worlds as great as this;
There is room for fresh creations
In that upper home of bliss.
6/7
If our love were but more simple,
We should take him at his word;
And our lives would be all gladness
In the joy of Christ our Lord.
7/7

 

 

Collect: Collect for The Second Sunday of Lent

Almighty God,

may we enter into the mystery of Christ’s sufferings,

One More Step Along The World I Go

Words & Music: Sydney Bertram Carter (1915-2004)

One more step along the world I go,
One more step along the world I go,
From the old things to the new,
Keep me traveling along with you:
1/10
And it's from the old I travel to the new;
Keep me traveling along with you.
2/10
Round the corners of the world I turn,
More and more about the world I learn;
All the new things that I see
You'll be looking at along with me:
3/10
And it's from the old I travel to the new;
Keep me traveling along with you.
4/10
As I travel through the bad and good,
Keep me traveling the way I should;
Where I see no way to go
You'll be telling me the way, I know:
5/10
And it's from the old I travel to the new;
Keep me traveling along with you.
6/10
Give me courage when the world is rough,
Keep me loving though the world is tough;
Leap and sing in all I do,
Keep me traveling along with you:
7/10
And it's from the old I travel to the new;
Keep me traveling along with you.
8/10
You are older than the world can be,
You are younger than the life in me;
Ever old and ever new,
Keep me traveling along with you:
9/10
And it's from the old I travel to the new;
Keep me traveling along with you.
10/10

Reading: John 3:1-17

John 3:1-17

read by Sally Giles

Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council.
John 3:1
He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him."
John 3:2
Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."
John 3:3
"How can someone be born when they are old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother's womb to be born!"
John 3:4
Jesus answered, "Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.
John 3:5
Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.
John 3:6
You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.'
John 3:7
The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."
John 3:8
"How can this be?" Nicodemus asked.
John 3:9
"You are Israel's teacher," said Jesus, "and do you not understand these things?
John 3:10
Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony.
John 3:11
I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?
John 3:12
No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man.
John 3:13
Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,
John 3:14
that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him."
John 3:15
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
John 3:17

On the third day he rose again;

and he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I Heard The Voice Of Jesus Say

Words: Horatius Bonar (1808-82)

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Come unto me and rest;
Lay down, O weary one, lay down
Your head upon my breast."

I came to Jesus as I was,
Weary and worn and sad;
I found in him a resting place,
And he has made me glad.
2/6
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Behold, I freely give
The living water; thirsty one,
Stoop down and drink, and live."

I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in him.
4/6
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"I am this dark world's Light;
Look unto me, your morn shall rise,
And all your days be bright."

I looked to Jesus and I found
In him my Star, my Sun;
And in that light of life I'll walk,
'til trav'ling days are done.

Lord, you are holy indeed, the source of all holiness;
grant that by the power of your Holy Spirit,
and according to your holy will,
these gifts of bread and wine
may be to us the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ;
3/14
who, in the same night that he was betrayed,
took bread and gave you thanks;
he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying:
4/14
Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you;
do this in remembrance of me.

In the same way, after supper
he took the cup and gave you thanks;

Be thou still my strength and shield;
