Come, now is the time to worship.
Come, now is the time to give your heart.
Come, just as you are to worship.
Come, just as you are before your God, come.

One day every tongue
will confess you are God,
one day every knee will bow.
Still, the greatest treasure remains
for those who gladly choose you now.

Come, now is the time to worship …

1. There's a quiet understanding
   when we're gathered in the Spirit,
   it's a promise that he gives us,
   when we gather in his name.
   There's a love we feel in Jesus,
   there's a manna that he feeds us,
   it's a promise that he gives us,
   when we gather in his name.

1. I should like to speak to you,
   for I know you're there!
   Every time I try, I find
   it's hard to make a prayer.

Could you see what I'm thinking
and know that it's a prayer?
Could you look into my heart
and find you're welcome there?
Could I bring you all my hopes and dreams,
my moments of despair?
Could you take what I'm thinking
and find that it's a prayer?  A prayer!

1. Come to us, creative Spirit,
   in our Father's house,
   every natural talent foster,
   hidden skills arouse,
   that within your earthly temple,
   wise and simple
   may rejoice.

2. Poet, painter, music-maker,
   all your treasures bring;
   artist, actor, graceful dancer,
   make your offering;
   join your hands in celebration!
   Let creation
   shout and sing!

1. Go to the world! Go into all the earth.
   Go preach the cross where Christ renews life's worth,
   baptising as the sign of our rebirth.
   Alleluia!

2. Go to the world! Go into every place.
   Go live the word of God's redeeming grace.
   Go seek God's presence in each time and space.
   Alleluia!

1. Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord!
      Unnumbered blessings, give my spirit voice;
   tender to me the promise of his word;
      in God my Saviour shall my heart rejoice.

2. Tell out, my soul, the greatness of his name!
      Make known his might, the deeds his arm has done;
   his mercy sure, from age to age the same;
      his holy name — the Lord, the Mighty One.

1. Lord Christ, we praise your sacrifice,
   your life in love so freely given.
   For those who took your life away
   you prayed: that they might be forgiven;
   and there, in helplessness arrayed,
   God's power was perfectly displayed.

2. Once helpless in your mother's arms,
   dependent on her mercy then;
   at last, by choice, in other hands,
   you were as helpless once again;
   and, at their mercy, crucified,
   you claimed your victory and died.

1. Happy are they who find the grace,
   the blessing of God's chosen race,
   the wisdom coming from above,
   the faith that sweetly works by love.

2. Happy beyond description we,
   who say ‘the Saviour died for me,’
   the gift unspeakable obtain,
   and heavenly understanding gain.

3. Wisdom divine!  Who tells the price
   of wisdom's costly merchandise?
   Wisdom to silver we prefer,
   and gold is dross compared to her.

1. Here is bread, here is wine,
   Christ is with us — he is with us;
   break the bread, drink the wine —
   Christ is with us here.

2. Here is grace, here is peace,
   Christ is with us — he is with us;
   know his grace, find his peace —
   feast on Jesus here.

In this bread there is healing,
in this cup there's life for ever;
in this moment, by the Spirit
Christ is with us here.

1. The kingdom of God
   is justice and joy,
   for Jesus restores
   what sin would destroy;
   God's power and glory
   in Jesus we know,
   and here and hereafter
   the kingdom shall grow.

2. The kingdom of God
   is mercy and grace,
   the prisoners are freed,
   the sinners find place,
   the outcast are welcomed
   God's banquet to share,
   and hope is awakened
   in place of despair.

1. Lord, the light of your love is shining,
   in the midst of the darkness, shining:
   Jesus, Light of the world, shine upon us;
   set us free by the truth you now bring us —
   shine on me, shine on me.

Shine, Jesus, shine,
fill this land with the Father's glory;
blaze, Spirit, blaze,
set our hearts on fire.
Flow, river, flow,
flood the nations with grace and mercy;
send forth your word,
Lord, and let there be light!

1. Jesus, be the centre,
   be my source, be my light,
   Jesus.

2. Jesus, be the centre,
   be my hope, be my song,
   Jesus.

Be the fire in my heart,
be the wind in these sails;
be the reason that I live,
Jesus, Jesus.

1. Dear Lord and Father of mankind
   forgive our foolish ways;
   reclothe us in our rightful mind;
   in purer lives thy service find,
   in deeper reverence, praise.

2. In simple trust like theirs who heard
   beside the Syrian sea
   the gracious calling of the Lord,
   let us, like them, without a word
   rise up and follow thee.

3. O sabbath rest by Galilee!
   O calm of hills above,
   where Jesus knelt to share with thee
   the silence of eternity,
   interpreted by love!

1. Jesus calls us!  O'er the tumult
   of our life's wild restless sea,
   day by day his voice is sounding,
   saying: ‘Christian, follow me.’

2. As of old apostles heard it
   by the Galilean lake,
   turned from home and toil and kindred,
   leaving all for his dear sake.

3. Jesus calls us from the worship
   of the vain world's golden store,
   from each idol that would keep us,
   saying: ‘Christian, love me more.’

1. Christ, from whom all blessings flow,
   perfecting the saints below,
   hear us, who thy nature share,
   who thy mystic body are.

2. Join us, in one spirit join,
   let us still receive of thine;
   still for more on thee we call,
   thou who fillest all in all.

3. Closer knit to thee, our Head,
   nourished, Lord, by thee, and fed,
   let us daily growth receive,
   more in Jesus Christ believe,
