All my hope on God is founded;
he doth still my trust renew.
Me through change and chance he guideth,
only good and only true.
God unknown, he alone
calls my heart to be his own.

Human pride and earthly glory,
sword and crown betray his trust;
what with care and toil he buildeth,
tower and temple, fall to dust.
But God’s power, hour by hour,
is my temple and my tower.

God’s great goodness aye endureth,
deep his wisdom, passing thought:
splendour, light, and life attend him,
beauty springeth out of naught.
Evermore from his store
new-born worlds rise and adore.

Daily doth th’ Almighty giver
bounteous gifts on us bestow;
his desire our soul delighteth,
pleasure leads us where we go.
Love doth stand
at his hand;
joy doth wait on his command.

Still from earth to God eternal
sacrifice of praise be done,
high above all praises praising
for the gift of Christ his Son.
Christ doth call
one and all:
ye who follow shall not fall.

This is the day that the Lord has made.
Let us be glad and rejoice in it.

Introduction

The Collect prayer for the Third Sunday before Lent
Almighty God,
who alone can bring order to the unruly wills
and passions of sinful humanity,
give your people grace
so to love what you command
and to desire what you promise;
that among the many changes of this world
our hearts may surely there fixed,
where true joys are to be found
through Jesus Christ you Son, our Lord
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
One God now, and for ever. Amen.

Talk
by Revd Charles Sargent

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.

Blessing
The peace of God, which passes all understanding,
keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God,
and of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord:
and the blessing of God Almighty,
the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit,
be upon you, and all those you love,
this day and for ever more. Amen

Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me bring your love.
Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord,
And where there’s doubt, true faith in you.
O Master, grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console,
To be understood, as to understand,
To be loved, as to love with all my soul.

Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there’s despair in life, let me bring hope.
Where there is darkness, only light,
And where there’s sadness, ever joy.

Make me a channel of your peace.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
In giving of ourselves that we receive,
And in dying that we’re born to eternal life.
