who are Worshipping with us today.
“What must I do to receive eternal life?”
Hymns: 489, 632, 137, Hallelujah! 132
Hallelujah!
- This Church has been nine hundred years
a place where Christians say their prayers,
receive the Lord and sing a loud “Hosanna”;
declare their love, have marriage blest
baptise their bairns, lay friends to rest,
and always singing joyful Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah! - Eleven-twenty-four the year
when Dodin’s name first did appear;
he built a small kirk overlooking water.
And from that time the people came
to praise the Lord, his deeds proclaim,
and bless their dearest friends, their sons & daughters.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah! - The monks came here from Kelso land
and lived their holy lives as planned
in a tranquil place beneath this ancient hillside.
They must have felt as we all feel
the closeness of our Lord is real
on Easter morn to greet him at the lochside.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah! - We love our folk both young and old;
their talents something to behold,
enriching lives and living out the gospel.
As faithful stewards of God’s grace
we serve the people in this place,
remembering what Christ told his apostles.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
