Welcome to

St Mary’s

All People that on Earth do Dwell,

sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.

Him serve with mirth, His praise forth tell;

come ye before Him and rejoice.

Know that the Lord is God indeed;

without our aid He did us make;

we are His folk, He doth us feed,

and for His sheep He doth us take.

O enter then His gates with praise;

approach with joy His courts unto;

praise, laud, and bless His name always,

for it is seemly so to do.

For why? the Lord our God is good;

His mercy is forever sure;

His truth at all times firmly stood,

and shall from age to age endure.

A Small Garden

A Small GardenI have a small garden, at last.

I have lived with a window box all my life

but today, here, now, I have a small garden at last.

I can grow my own vegetables and fruit.

I can nurture flowers that sing in the sunshine.

I can give the neighbourhood a feast of gorgeous fragrances.

I have a small garden at last.

A Small Garden

A year has passed and my garden

is not big enough for the flowers I want

and the design I need.

My neighbour's garden is bigger than mine.

I have a small garden, unfortunately.

Loving God,

we are drawn to your energy,

but we want you to judge everyone else and leave us alone.

But you, loving God,are compassion itself.

You care for the smallest and those who feel least important.

You are tender with us when we make mistakes.You are loving and embracing.

We ask forgivenessand you offer us a welcome.

We are filled with remorseand you wipe away our angry tears.

We speak and you listen

We sulk and you draw us back

Amen.

'Look around you,

can you see?

Times are troubled,

people grieve.

See the violence,

feel the hardness;

All my people,

weep with me.’

Kyrie eleison,

Christe eleison,

Kyrie eleison.

'Walk among them,

I'll go with you.

Reach out to them

with my hands.

Suffer with me,

and together

We will serve them,

help them stand.’

Kyrie eleison,

Christe eleison,

Kyrie eleison.

Forgive us Father;

hear our prayer.

We would walk with you

Anywhere,

Through your suffering,

with forgiveness,

Take your life

into the land.

Kyrie eleison,

Christe eleison,

Kyrie eleison.

God is angry

Naboth’s VineyardGod is fair

Ahab the King looked out one dayand saw a vineyard,

just over the way.I’d like that land, he said to

himself,I’ll just tell Naboth — and give him some

wealth.

But Naboth said, ‘Oh no, no, no,

I want my vineyard I love it so’.

Ahab went home and he threw a paddy,

‘I want that land! Naboth’s such a baddy!’

Jez, the Queen, she sorted it out.

Soon Naboth was dead: she used Ahab’s clout.

‘It’s yours now, honey,’ she said to the King.

‘Didn’t cost no money, didn’t pay a thing!’

But God was watching and he told Elijah,

‘Go sort out Ahab, though he won’t thank ya’.

‘You’re doomed now, Ahab,’ Elijah told the King.

‘Even though you plot in secret,

God sees every thing.’

Restore, O Lord,

The honour of Your name,

In works of sovereign power

Come shake the earth again;

That men may see

And come with reverent fear

To the living God,

Whose kingdom shall outlast the years.

Restore, O Lord,

In all the earth Your fame,

And in our time revive

The church that bears Your name.

And in Your anger,

Lord, remember mercy,

O living God,

Whose mercy shall outlast the years.

Bend us, O Lord,

Where we are hard and cold,

In Your refiner’s fire

Come purify the gold.

Though suffering comes

And evil crouches near,

Still our living God

Is reigning, He is reigning here.

Restore, O Lord,

The honour of Your name,

In works of sovereign power

Come shake the earth again;

That men may see

And come with reverent fear

To the living God,

Whose kingdom shall outlast the years.

And I will trust in you alone.


For your endless mercy follows me,

Your goodness will lead me home.

He guides my ways in righteousness,

And he anoints my head with oil,

And my cup it overflows with joy,

I feast on his pure delights.





And though I walk the darkest path,

I will not fear the evil one,

For you are with me, and your rod and staff

Are the comfort I need to know.
