Our Methodist heritage has long been associated with the camp meetings of the American

frontier where people would gather for times of fellowship and spiritual revival. They were

times of singing, witnessing, and preaching with enthusiasm. The services were less formal and

more Spirit led. Our service today hopes to replicate this in form but may we also replicate in

Spirit by singing enthusiastically, and responding to the leading of the Spirit.

Today’s Lovely Flowers are given to the Glory of God.

Love, Mercy and Grace

1. ‘Twas Love that gave at greatest cost A Life, that mine should not be lost, The Love that died in deep despair My debt fully satisfied there.

Refrain:

It was Love that took my place

On the cross of Calvary;

It was grace, redeeming grace,

That paid my ransom full and free,

Over sin, without, within,

I have the victory.

Thro’ grace, marvelous grace,

That lives in me.

2. The love that freely all forgives In fullness now within me lives; Thro’ every trial this I see; His grace is sufficient for me. Refrain

3. God’s love, His mercy and His grace, Combine to raise fallen race; His hand is ready, ere we call, Held out with forgiveness for all. Refrain
