THE LAST VERSE OF ETERNAL FATHER
O Trinity of love and power,

Protect them whereso'er they go.
Thus evermore shall rise to thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.

NOTICES
We are most grateful to the Allegro Singers and Hong Kong Airlines/Hong Kong Express Choir for leading the singing in our worship tonight and to the organist Ms Fan Lai. Our thanks too to those who read the lessons. There will be a collection during the singing of “While Shepherds watched their flocks by night”, which will be for the chaplains appeal for Christmas Gifts for seafarers.
We wish you and yours loved ones all the blessings of Christmas.
