Ecclesiastes 3: “A time for everything”
Hymn
AMAZING GRACE
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
Welcome and Introduction
Hymn
ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL
All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small
All things wise and wonderful
The Lord God made them all.
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed.
Each Kowhai flower that opens,
Each Tui bird that sings,
He made their glowing colours,
He made their tiny wings.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home.
The snow capped hills in winter,
The Wairarapa sun,
The ripe grapes in the vineyard
God made them everyone.
He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell,
How great is God almighty,
Who has made all things well.
When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun;
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we’ve first begun.
