Hymn “Rejoice, the Lord is King”
Verse 1
Rejoice the Lord is King
Your Lord and King adore
Mortals give thanks and sing
And triumph evermore
Chorus
Lift up your heart lift up your voice
Rejoice again I say rejoice
Verse 2
Jesus the Saviour reigns
The God of truth and love
When He had purged our stains
He took His seat above
Verse 3
His kingdom cannot fail
He rules o'er earth and heaven
The keys of death and hell
Are to our Jesus given
Verse 4
Rejoice in glorious hope
Our Lord, the Judge shall come
And take His servants up
To their eternal home

Be Thou my Vision O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me save that Thou art
Thou my best thought by day or by night
Waking or sleeping Thy presence my light
Verse 2
Be Thou my Wisdom and Thou my true Word
I ever with Thee and Thou with me Lord
Thou my great Father I Thy true son
Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one
Verse 3
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine inheritance, now and always;
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art.
Verse 4
High King of heaven my victory won
May I reach heaven's joys bright heaven's Sun
Heart of my own heart whatever befall
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all

Our Purpose
“To provide for the study of the Bible as God’s special revelation to humanity and to provide experiences of cooperative Christian living in which the welfare of each individual is considered, personal responsibility assumed, and where the sense of Christian fellowship is broadened through becoming acquainted with new friends.”
