Today is Sunday and I will shortly be strolling up to church for the service of the Eucharist.
Then off out into town for Sunday lunch this afternoon with a friend from the church.

That sounds so good. Have a lovely day

Hymn sung at our Sunday service.....

This day God gives me
Strength of high heaven,
Sun and moon shining,
Flame in my hearth,
Flashing of lightning,
Wind in its swiftness,
Deeps of the ocean,
Firmness of earth.

This day God sends me
Strength to sustain me,
Might to uphold me,
Wisdom as guide.
Your eyes are watchful,
Your ears are list'ning,
Your lips are speaking,
Friend at my side.

God's way is my way,
God's shield is round me,
God's host defends me,
Saving from ill.
Angels of heaven,
Drive from me always
All that would harm me,
Stand by me still.

Rising, I thank you,
Mighty and strong One,
King of creation,
Giver of rest,
Firmly confessing
Threeness of Persons,
Oneness of Godhead,
Trinity blest.

Hymn to Christ the King (Sarah Hart)

We were wandering in the dark
We had lost our hope and way
And we were restless in our hearts
How we needed to be saved
And so to rescue all your own
You sent to us your only son
A light to fall, a peace to bring
The coming of our Christ, the King

The word made flesh, the light from light
A cry that pierced our endless noise
A child to speak into our pain
Restoring unto us our joy
To teach our hearts and heal our wounds
Replace our doubt with heaven’s truth
The broken, healed; the lost, redeemed
The beauty of our Christ, the King

Though heaven’s glory he had shown
All our praises turned to scorn
The gift of mercy that he gave
We returned with cross and thorn
Yet to the end, he loved us still
Surrendered to the Father’s will
Forgiveness was his offering
The mercy of our Christ, the King

And though they laid him in the tomb
In the silence of the grave
No stone could keep the love of God
From the ones he came to save
And so in power and radiant light
He vanquished death and rose to life
Now with the heavens I shall sing
The glory of our Christ the King

We used to sing this one in church. It's Argentinian in origin, with words in English and Spanish.

A lot of new tunes, the words are very good.

Was it the same for the brethren in the UK back in the mid-70s when the 'Jesus Music' era began to impact pop-culture? Randy Matthews was one of my go-to musicians.

I don't think Randy Matthews got to our side of 'the pond'.
I do remember Carmen, Striper, Maranatha, and the Come Together musical. Great stuff. Then there was Sounds of Living Waters, and our own home grown Graham Kendrick.
