The final hymn this morning was from Baptist Praise & Worship - 'Jesus, life of all the world' by Margaret Clarkson. She was a Canadian school teacher who is remembered as a writer of over 100 hymns (3 of which are in Baptist Praise & Worship). She died in 2008.

The hymn, Jesus life of all the world, ends with this stirring prayer for the Church –

Jesus, life of all the world,
You are Lord of every nation;
By your Holy Spirit’s power
Make your Church your incarnation;
Till our lives of truth and grace
Show the world your human face.
