Hymns for this Sunday: 

Introit: ‘The kingdom is upon you!’

The kingdom is upon you!’
the voice of Jesus cries,
fulfilling with its message
the wisdom of the wise;
it lightens with fresh insight
the striving human mind,
creating new dimensions
of faith for all to find.
 
‘God’s kingdom is upon you!’
the message sounds today;
it summons every pilgrim
to take the questing way,
with eyes intent on Jesus,
our leader and our friend,
who trod faith’s road before us,
and trod it to the end.
 
The kingdom is upon us!
Stirred by the Spirit’s breath,
we glory in its freedom
from emptiness and death;
we celebrate its purpose, i
ts mission and its goal,
alive with the conviction
that Christ can make us whole.

 

Gradual:  Great is thy faithfulness, O God my Father

Offertory:  Hail to the Lord’s Anointed

Closing:  Forth in thy name, O Lord, I go
