From this Sunday there will be a service at 10.30am at both St Cuthbert’s Haydon Bridge and All Hallows’ Henshaw alternating each week between a Benefice Eucharist and said service of Morning Prayer.

This Sunday we will worship at:
9am: Morning Prayer with Hymns and Reflection: Streamed on facebook.com/parishesbythewall
10.30am: Said Morning Prayer followed by time for Private Prayer: All Hallows’ Henshaw
10.30am: Benefice Eucharist: St Cuthbert’s Haydon Bridge
Hymns, Reading and Resources for worship
at the 9am online service,
using our regular pattern of Morning Prayer
Hymn
Dear Christ, uplifted from the earth,
your arms stretched out above
through every culture, every birth,
to draw an answering love.
Still east and west your love extends
and always, near and far,
you call and claim us as your friends
and love us as we are.
Where age and gender, class and race,
divides us to our shame,
you see a person and a face,
a neighbour with a name.
May we, accepted as we are,
yet called in grace to grow,
reach out to others, near and far,
your healing love to show.
Words: Brian Wren (b. 1936)
Readings and Psalm
The Benedictus
Bless the Lord, the God of Israel,
who has come to set us free.
He has raised for us a Saviour
sprung from royal David’s tree.
Through his prophets God had spoken
of the hope the Christ would bring;
of his faithfulness and mercy
let each generation sing.
Long ago God made a promise
he would set his people free,
that in all our life and worship
we might know true liberty,
to be holy, to be righteous
in his sight throughout our days;
now this child will be a herald
making ready all God’s ways.
Let all people know salvation
through forgiveness of their sin,
as our God in his compassion
bids a shining dawn begin.
So may all who dwell in darkness
see the shadows disappear
while he guides our feet in pathways
where his peace is ever near.
To the Father be all glory
with the Spirit and the Son,
as it was, is now and shall be
while eternal ages run.
Words: Anne Harrison
Collect for St Luke
Almighty God, you called Luke the physician,
whose praise is in the gospel, to be an evangelist and physician of the soul:
by the grace of the Spirit and through the wholesome medicine of the gospel,
give your Church the same love and power to heal;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen
Hymn
Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord!
Unnumbered blessings, give my spirit voice;
tender to me the promise of his word;
in God my Saviour shall my heart rejoice.
Tell out, my soul, the greatness of his name!
Make known his might, the deeds his arm has done;
his mercy sure, from age to age the same;
his holy name, the Lord, the mighty one.
Tell out, my soul, the greatness of his might!
Powers and dominions lay their glory by.
Proud hearts and stubborn wills are put to flight,
the hungry fed, the humble lifted high.
Tell out, my soul, the glories of his word!
Firm is his promise, and his mercy sure.
Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord
to children's children and for evermore!
Words: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) based on Luke 1.46-55
