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.
Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colours,
He made their tiny wings.
All things bright, etc.
The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset, and the morning
That brightens up the sky:
All things bright, etc.
The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.
All things bright, etc.
The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water
We gather every day:
All things bright, etc.
He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.
All things bright, etc.

Amazing Grace
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me,
I once was lost, but now I'm found,
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fear relieved,
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come,
'Twas grace that brought us safe thus far,
And grace will lead us home.
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 first begun.
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me,
I once was lost, but now I'm found,
Was blind, but now I see.

Be our
chief guest, Lord
Be our chief guest, Lord,
Lord of all living,
Lord of all loving,
This wedding day:
Bind us together
In your sure keeping,
So we may never
Wander away.
Bless all who have brought us
Up from our childhood,
Caring, forgiving,
Through the long day:
May the same spirit
Shine in our home, Lord,
Lighting our pathway,
We humbly pray.
Bless all our friends, Lord,
Happy and true friends,
Laughing or crying,
Always the same:
Bright with this friendship,
May our own home be
Ready to welcome
All in your name.
Be our chief guest, Lord,
Lord of all living,
Warm with compassion
Showing the way:
Keep us together
In loving service,
Families and friends, Lord,
This wedding day.

Bind us
together
Bind us together, Lord
Bind us together
With cords that cannot be broken.
Bind us together, Lord,
Bind us together,
Bind us together with love.
There is only one God,
There is only one King,
There is only one Body,
That is why we sing:
Made for the glory of God,
Purchased by His precious Son,
Born with the right to be clean,
For Jesus the victory has won.
You are the family of God,
You are the promise divine,
You are God's chosen desire,
You are the glorious new wine.

Dear Lord and Father of Mankind
Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
Forgive our foolish ways!
Re-clothe us in our rightful mind,
In purer lives thy service find,
In deeper reverence praise.
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.
O Sabbath rest by Galilee!
O calm of hills above,
Where Jesus knelt to share with thee
The silence of eternity,
Interpreted by love!
Drop thy still dews of quietness,
Till all our strivings cease;
Take from our souls the strain and stress,
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of thy peace.
Breathe through the heats of our desire
Thy coolness and thy balm;
Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
Speak through the earthquake, wind, and
fire,
O still small voice of calm!

God of all
living
God of all living,
Father, we praise you,
Full of thanksgiving,
For so much love;
Now in this wedding,
Come down among us,
Pour out your blessing,
Heavenly Dove.
Perfect companion,
God's gift in marriage,
One true communion,
Help on life's way;
May we be mindful,
In need and plenty,
May we be faithful
Every new day.
With love's true splendour,
Father, delight us,
Each giving honour,
With faithfulness;
And may the sharing
Of this sweet union
Deepen our caring,
With tenderness.
May there be children,
Fruit of our loving,
True men and women,
With faith beside;
Grant us your keeping
In all our future,
Your love caressing
Bridegroom and bride.

Guide me, o thou great Redeemer
Guide me, o thou great Redeemer,
pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but thou art mighty:
hold me with thy powerful hand:
bread of heaven
feed me now and evermore.
Open now the crystal fountain
whence the healing stream doth flow
let the fiery cloudy pillar
lead me all my journey through:
strong deliverer,
be thou still my strength and shield.
When I tread the verge of Jordan
bid my anxious fears subside:
death of death. and hell's destruction
land me safe on Canaan's side:
songs and praises
I will ever give to thee.

Immortal,
Invisible
Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of
Days,
Almighty, victorious, thy great name we
praise.
Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in
might;
Thy justice like mountains high soaring
above
Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness
and love.
To all life thou givest, to both great and
small;
In all life thou livest, the true life of
all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the
tree,
And wither and perish; but naught changeth
thee.
Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,
Thine angels adore thee, all veiling their
sight;
All laud we would render: O help us to see
'Tis only the splendour of light hideth
thee.

I vow
to thee my country
I vow to thee, my country, all earthly
things above,
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of
my love:
The love that asks no question, the love
that stands the test
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the
best;
The love that never falters, the love that
pays the price,
The love that makes undaunted the final
sacrifice.
And there's another country, I've heard of
long ago,
Most dear to them that love her, most great
to them that know;
We may not count her armies, we may not see
her King;
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride
is suffering;
And soul by soul and silently her shining
bounds increase,
And her ways are ways of gentleness and all
her paths are peace.

Jerusalem
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.

Jesus
stand among us
Jesus, stand among us at the meeting of
our lives,
Be our sweet agreement at the meeting of our
eyes;
O, Jesus, we love You, so we gather here,
Join our hearts in unity and take away our
fear.
So to You we're gathering out of each and
every land,
Christ the love between us at the joining of
our hands;
O, Jesus, we love You, so we gather here,
Join our hearts in unity and take away our
fear.
Lead us, heavenly father
Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us
O'er the world's tempestuous sea;
Guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us,
For we have no help but thee;
Yet possessing every blessing,
If our God our Father be.
Saviour, breathe forgiveness o'er us:
All our weakness thou dost know;
Thou didst tread this earth before us,
Thou didst feel its keenest woe;
Lone and dreary, faint and weary,
Through the desert thou didst go.
Spirit of our God, descending,
Fill our hearts with heavenly joy,
Love with every passion blending,
Pleasure that can never cloy:
Thus provided, pardoned, guided,
Nothing can our peace destroy.

Thou didst feel its keenest woe;
Self denying, death defying,
Thou to Calvary didst go.

Fill our hearts with heavenly joy;
Love with every passion blending,
Pleasure that can never cloy;
Thus provided, pardoned, guided,
Nothing can our peace destroy.
