Limehouse PC is very happy to welcome 841 Sound to our sanctuary for worship today.  The group consists of Debi Sproule, Kim Taylor, Anne Menzie and Pam Stuart, who have been ringing together since 2012; however, each of them have rung with other bell choirs in the past, which has given them a great depth of experience and a deep love of the instruments involved.  The name, 841 Sound is drawn from 8 hands, 4 musicians, 1 sound, and we are blessed to have them ringing out for us this morning as we joyfully celebrate 157 years of serving the Limehouse community! Lunch will be served in the church basement following worship. Please join us!

Mark your calendars!

Psalm 127
Scottish Metrical Psalter (1650)
Tune: Tallis’ Ordinal

1  Except the Lord do build the house,
the builders lose their pain:
Except the Lord the city keep,
the watchmen watch in vain.

2  'Tis vain for you to rise betimes,
or late from rest to keep,
To feed on sorrows' bread; so gives
he his beloved sleep.

 3  Lo, children are God's heritage,
the womb's fruit his reward.
4  The sons of youth as arrows are,
for strong men's hands prepared.

5  O happy is the man that hath
his quiver filled with those;
They unashamèd in the gate
shall speak unto their foes.



I BELIEVE IN A HILL CALLED CALVARY

Verse 1
There are things as we travel this earth's shifting sands
That transcend all the reason of man;
But the things that matter the most in this world,
They can never be held in our hand.

Chorus
I believe in a hill called Mount Calvary
I'll believe, whatever the cost;
And when time has surrendered and earth is no more,
I'll still cling to the old rugged cross.

Verse 2
I believe that the Christ who was slain on that cross
Has the power to change lives today;
For He changed me completely,
A new life is mine,
That is why by the cross I will stay!

Chorus

Verse 3
I believe that this life with its great mysteries
Surely someday will come to an end;
But faith will conquer the darkness and death
And will lead me at last to my friend.

Chorus*

Psalm 49

To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah
   1  Hear this, all people, and give ear,
         all in the world that dwell;
   2  Both low and high, both rich and poor.
   3     My mouth shall wisdom tell:
      My heart shall knowledge meditate.
   4      I will incline mine ear
      To parables, and on the harp
         my sayings dark declare.
 
 5  Amidst those days that evil be,
         why should I, fearing, doubt?
      When of my heels th' iniquity
         shall compass me about.
6  Whoe'er they be that in their wealth
         their confidence do pitch,
      And boast themselves, because they are
         become exceeding rich:
 
7  Yet none of these his brother can
         redeem by any way;
      Nor can he unto God for him
         sufficient ransom pay,
8  (Their soul's redemption precious is,
         and it can never be,)
   9  That still he should for ever live,
         and not corruption see.

  10  For why? he seeth that wise men die,
         and brutish fools also
      Do perish; and their wealth, when dead,
         to others they let go.
11  Their inward thought is, that their house
         and dwelling-places shall
      Stand through all ages; they their lands
         by their own names do call.




PSALM 49 (cont’d)

 12  But yet in honor shall not man
         abide continually;
      But passing hence, may be compared
         unto the beasts that die.
  13  Thus brutish folly plainly is
         their wisdom and their way;
      Yet their posterity approve
         what they do fondly say.

  14  Like sheep they in the grave are laid,
         and death shall them devour;
      And in the morning upright men
         shall over them have pow'r:
      Their beauty from their dwelling shall
         consume within the grave.
  15  But from hell's hand God will me free,
         for he shall me receive.

  16  Be thou not then afraid when one
         enriched thou dost see,
      Nor when the glory of his house
         advanced is on high:
  17  For he shall carry nothing hence
         when death his days doth end;
      Nor shall his glory after him
         into the grave descend.

  18  Although he his own soul did bless
         whilst he on earth did live;
      (And when thou to thyself dost well,
         men will thee praises give;)
 19  He to his fathers' race shall go,
         they never shall see light.
  20  Man honored wanting knowledge is
         like beasts that perish quite.
