Closing Hymn #485 Love Divine
(tune: 447 Blaenwern)
Psalm 105:1-6,
23-26, 45c
Give
thanks to the Lord and call upon his name; make known his deeds among
the peoples.
Sing
to him, sing praises to him, and speak of all his marvellous
works.
Glory
in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord
rejoice.
Search
for the Lord and his strength; continually seek his
face.
Remember
the marvels he has done, his wonders and the judgements of his
mouth,
O
offspring of Abraham his servant, O children of Jacob his
chosen.
Israel
came into Egypt, and Jacob became a sojourner in the land of
Ham.
The
Lord made his people exceedingly fruitful; he made them stronger than
their enemies;
Whose
heart he turned, so that they hated his people, and dealt unjustly with
his servants.
He
sent Moses his servant, and Aaron whom he had chosen.
Hallelujah!
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without
end. Amen.
