Offertory Hymn:             Forsaken once  

During the offertory hymn, a collection will be taken.  If you would like information on how to gift-aid your donation, please see Peter Shrubsole after the service.  Information on setting up standing orders is also available from Peter.                                                                                  
1
Forsaken once, and thrice denied,
the risen Lord gave pardon free,
stood once again at Peter's side,
and asked him,
'Lov'st thou me?'

4
How oft his cowardice of heart
we have without his love sincere,
the sin without the sorrow's smart,
the shame without the tear!
2
How many times with faithless word
have we denied his holy name,
how oft forsaken our dear Lord,
and shrunk when trial came!
5
O oft forsaken, oft denied,
forgive our shame, wash out our sin;
look on us from thy Father's side
and let that sweet look win.

3
Saint Peter, when the cock crew clear,
went out, and wept his broken faith:
strong as a rock through strife and fear,
he served his Lord till death.
6
Hear when we call thee from the deep
still walk beside us on the shore,
give hands to work,
and eyes to weep,
and hearts to love thee more.

Communion Hymn               106         Dear Lord and Father of mankind

Prayer after Communion
Almighty God, who on the day of Pentecost
sent your Holy Spirit to the apostles
with the wind from heaven and in tongues of flame,
filling them with joy and boldness
to preach the gospel:
by the power of the same Spirit
strengthen us to witness to your truth
and to draw everyone to the fire of your love;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.
