All hail the pow’r of Jesus’ name!
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him, crown Him, crown Him,
And crown Him Lord of all.
Crown Him, ye martyrs of our God,
Who from His altar call;
Extol the stem of Jesse’s rod,
And crown Him, crown Him, crown Him,
And crown Him Lord of all.
Ye seed of Israel’s chosen race,
And ransomed from the fall,
Hail Him who saves you by His grace,
And crown Him, crown Him, crown Him,
And crown Him Lord of all.
Let ev’ry kindred, ev’ry tribe,
On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe,
And crown Him, crown Him, crown Him,
And crown Him Lord of all.
O that with yonder sacred throng
We at His feet may fall,
Join in the everlasting song,
And crown Him, crown Him, crown Him,
And crown Him Lord of all.

O God, you declare your almighty power

that we, running the way of your commandments,

through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

Talk
by Revd Alan Bayes
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
Lord of all mercy,
we your faithful people
have celebrated that one true sacrifice
which takes away our sins
and brings pardon and peace:
by our communion
keep us firm on the foundation of the gospel
and preserve us from all sin;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Blessing
Dismissal
Go in peace to love and serve the Lord.
In the name of Christ. Amen.
Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise:
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways.
O loving wisdom of our God!
When all was sin and shame,
a second Adam to the fight
and to the rescue came.
O wisest love! that flesh and blood,
which did in Adam fail,
should strive afresh against the foe,
should strive and should prevail;
And that a higher gift than grace
should flesh and blood refine,
God’s presence, and his very self,
and essence all-divine.
And in the garden secretly,
and on the cross on high,
should teach his brethren, and inspire
to suffer and to die.
Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise:
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways.
