Welcome From the Headmaster, Mr Chris Staley
Hymn (ALL STAND) Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven (Henry F. Lyte 1793-1847) Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven; To his feet thy tribute bring. Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, Who like me his praise should sing? Praise him! Praise him! Praise the everlasting King. Praise him for his grace and favour To our fathers in distress; Praise him still the same for ever, Slow to chide, and swift to bless, Praise him! Praise him! Glorious in his faithfulness. Father-like, he tends and spares us; Well our feeble frame he knows; In his hands he gently bears us, Rescues us from all our foes. Praise him! Praise him! Widely as his mercy flows. Angels, help us to adore him; Ye behold him face to face; Sun and moon, bow down before him, Dwellers all in time and space. Praise him! Praise him! Praise with us the God of grace. 4
Prayers Led by Reverend Canon Matthew Bradbury
Address From the Chairman of Governors, Dr Dennis Barter
Report From the Headmaster, Mr Chris Staley
Hymn (ALL STAND) Guide me, O thou great Redeemer (William Williams 1717-1791) Guide me, O thou great Redeemer, Pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak, but thou art mighty; Hold me with thy powerful hand: Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more, Feed me till I want no more. Open now the crystal fountain, Whence the healing stream doth flow; Let the fire and cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through: Strong deliverer, Be thou still my strength and shield, Be thou still my strength and shield. When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Death of death, and hell’s destruction, Land me safe on Canaan’s side: Songs and praises I will ever give to thee, I will ever give to thee. 5
