SONGS The Yeng Gali Mullum Choir sings

Amazing Grace Yumna yala Molagah woi Guda mabila ma Numila ma galgudab Bulawie ma biala 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. T’was grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear, The hour I first believed. 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. Yumna yala Molagah woi Guda mabila ma Numila ma galgudab

Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, sun, moon and stars in their courses above, join with all nature in unspoken witness to your great faithfulness, mercy and love. Great is your faithfulness … Pardon for sin and a peace that’s enduring, your living presence to cheer and to guide, strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow – these are the blessings your love will provide. Great is your faithfulness …

TESTIMONY – Hee-Young No

OLD TESTAMENT READING Ezekiel 37.1-14 Read by Anthony King

1 The hand of the LORD came upon me, and he brought me out by the spirit of the LORD and set me down in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. 2He led me all round them; there were very many lying in the valley, and they were very dry. 3He said to me, ‘Mortal, can these bones live?’ I answered, ‘O Lord GOD, you know.’ 4Then he said to me, ‘Prophesy to these bones, and say to them: O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. 5Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live. 6I will lay sinews on you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am the LORD.’

7 So I prophesied as I had been commanded; and as I prophesied, suddenly there was a noise, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. 8I looked, and there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them; but there was no breath in them. 9Then he said to me, ‘Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, mortal, and say to the breath: Thus says the Lord GOD: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.’10I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood on their feet, a vast multitude.

11 Then he said to me, ‘Mortal, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They say, “Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are cut off completely.” 12Therefore prophesy, and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: I am going to open your graves, and bring you up from your graves, O my people; and I will bring you back to the land of Israel.13And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves, and bring you up from your

graves, O my people. 14I will put my spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you on your own soil; then you shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken and will act, says the LORD.’

LOVE DIVINE

2

Come, almighty to deliver, let us all thy life receive; suddenly return, and never, never more thy temples leave: thee we would be always blessing, serve thee as thy hosts above, pray, and praise thee, without ceasing, glory in thy perfect love.

3

Finish then thy new creation, pure and spotless let us be, let us see thy great salvation, perfectly restored in thee: changed from glory into glory, till in heaven we take our place, till we cast our crowns before thee, lost in wonder, love and praise.

Charles Wesley (1707–88) Together in Song 217i

NEW TESTAMENT READING Romans 10.5-17 Read by the Revd Shannon Smith, Vicar of St Christopher’s Bentleigh East

5 Moses writes concerning the righteousness that comes from the law, that ‘the person who does these things will live by them.’ 6But the righteousness that comes from faith says, ‘Do not say in your heart, “Who will ascend into heaven?” ’ (that is, to bring Christ down) 7‘or “Who will descend into the abyss?” ’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).8But what does it say?

‘The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart’ (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); 9because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the

Page 8: Thy Kingdom Come Beacon Event · Palawa Kani Song Milaythina nika milaythina-mana Milaythina nika milaythina-mana Tapilti larapuna, tapilti putalina Tapilti kunanyi, tapilti tayaritja

8

dead, you will be saved. 10For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. 11The scripture says, ‘No one who believes in him will be put to shame.’ 12For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on him. 13For, ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’

14 But how are they to call on one in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in one of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone to proclaim him? 15And how are they to proclaim him unless they are sent? As it is written, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!’ 16But not all have obeyed the good news; for Isaiah says, ‘Lord, who has believed our message?’ 17So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the word of Christ.

1 I will exalt you, O God my king: I will bless your name for ever and ever. 2 Every day will I bless you: and praise your name for ever and ever. 3 Great is the Lord, and wonderfully worthy to be praised: his greatness is past searching out. 4 One generation shall praise your works to another: and declare your mighty acts. 5 As for me, I will be talking of the glorious splendour of your majesty: I will tell the story of your marvellous works. 6 All people shall speak of the power of your terrible deeds: and I will proclaim your greatness. 7 Their lips shall flow with the remembrance of your abundant goodness: they shall shout for joy at your righteousness. 8 The Lord is gracious and compassionate: slow to anger and of great goodness. 9 The Lord is loving to every one of us: and his mercy is over all his works. 10 All creation praises you, O Lord: and your faithful servants bless your name. 11 They speak of the glory of your kingdom: and tell of your great might, 12 That the whole earth may know your mighty acts: and the glorious splendour of your kingdom. 13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom: and your dominion endures through all generations. 14 The Lord upholds all those who stumble: and raises up those that are bowed down. 15 The eyes of all look to you in hope: and you give them their food in due season; 16 You open wide your hand: and fill all things living with your bounteous gift. 17 The Lord is just in all his ways: and faithful in all his dealings. 18 The Lord is near to all who call upon him: to all who call upon him in truth. 19 He will fulfil the desire of those that fear him: he will hear their cry, and save them. 20 The Lord preserves all those that love him: but the wicked he will utterly destroy. 21 My mouth shall speak the praises of the Lord: and let all flesh bless his holy name, for ever and ever.
