Hymns

All things bright and beautiful (need to decide which tune, there are two)
And did those feet in ancient time (‘Jerusalem’)
Be thou my vision
Brother, sister, let me serve you
Come down, O love divine
Christ triumphant, ever reigning
Dear Lord and Father of mankind
From heaven you came (Servant King)
God, in the planning and purpose of life  (‘Slane’ tune)
Guide me O thou great Redeemer
In Christ alone
Lead us heavenly Father
Lord, for the years
Lord Jesus Christ
Lord of all hopefulness
Love divine all loves excelling (need to decide which tune, there are two)
Make me a channel of your peace
Now thank we all our God
O praise ye the Lord
Praise my soul the king of heaven
Praise the Lord ye heavens adore him
Tell out my soul
The king of love my shepherd is
