Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart,
naught be all else to me save that thou art;
thou my best thought in the day and the night,
waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.

Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true word,
I ever with the and thou with me, Lord;
thou my great Father, and I thy true heir;
thou in me dwelling, and I in thy care.

Be thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight,
be thou my armour, and be thou my might,
thou my soul’s shelter, and thou my high tower,
raise thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
thou mine inheritance through all my days;
thou, and thou only, the first in my heart,
high King of heaven, my treasure thou art!

High King of heaven when battle is done,
grant heaven’s joy to me, O bright heaven’s sun;
Christ of my own heart, whatever befall,
still be thou my vision, O Ruler of all.

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

The Collect prayer for the Third Sunday of Lent

Almighty God,
whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first He suffered pain,
and entered not into glory before He was crucified;
mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross,
may find it none other than the way of life and peace;
through Jesus Christ your 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

Make way, make way for Christ the King
In splendour arrives
Fling wide the gates and welcome Him
Into your lives.
Make way, make way for the King of Kings
Make way, make way and let His kingdom in!

He comes the broken hearts to heal
The prisoners to free
The deaf shall hear, the lame shall dance
The blind shall see.

And those who mourn with heavy hearts
Who weep and sigh
With laughter, joy and royal crown
He’ll beautify.

We call you now to worship Him
As Lord of all
To have no gods before Him
Their thrones must fall!
Make way, make way for the King of Kings
Make way, make way and let His kingdom in!
