Conference Hymn
(1 Corinthians 1-5)
Tune : Campeche
Tune : Campeche
Sanctified in Christ Jesus, called,
We know such grace and peace divine,
Enriched in blessings that enthralled.
All of our hearts in joy combine
To praise the God Who will ensure
That we are spotless evermore.
Thanks be to God for all His grace,
Which has supplied to us below,
All blessings as the heaven-born race,
Empowered in everything to know,
His testament in us confirmed,
In us who have His faith affirmed.
Waiting the coming of our Lord,
We hear the pleadings of His voice.
Speaking the same without discord,
Perfectly joined, agreed in choice,
So we will please the One Who died,
And everything for us supplied.
Where is the scribe? Where is the wise?
God has made foolish this world’s sense.
Therefore today our gospel cries,
‘Christ crucified’, God’s power immense.
God’s wisdom and His power combined,
In Christ our Saviour, all enshrined.
Christ the foundation has been laid,
Let us take heed of how we build,
Gold, silver, precious stones arrayed,
Or with the hay and stubble thrilled?
Christ will assess what sort was used,
What pleases Him, and what’s refused.
Passover Lamb, our blessed Lord,
Sacrificed once upon the tree,
Him would we praise with one accord,
Keeping the feast we all agree,
That we will show sincerity,
Leading our lives in verity.
~ Howard Barnes ~

The Order and the Occasion - Christ, Man and God
A But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man;
B And the head of Christ is God.
C Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
D But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head:
E For that is even all one as if she were shaven.
X For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn:
E' But if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven,
D' Let her be covered.
C' For a man indeed ought not to cover his head,
B' Forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God:
A' But the woman is the glory of the man.
The Origins and the Obligation - Man, Woman and Angels
A For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
B Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
X For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
B' Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
A' For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
The Observation and the Objection - Nature and the Churches
A Judge in yourselves:
B Is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
C Doth not even nature itself teach you, that,
X If a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
X But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her:
C' For her hair is given her for a covering.
B' But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom,
A' Neither the churches of God.

Conference Hymn
St. Theodulph 7.6.7.6.D.
Our Father we would bless Thee
For Thine exceeding grace.
As sons we now address Thee
Brought now before Thy face;
The Son of God most glorious
Came from those heights above,
Thy family to gather,
Thou God of light and love.
Our sins are all forgiven
Lord Jesus for Thy sake,
Through Thee we know the Father
And of Thy love partake;
We now are God's dear children,
And we have found in Thee,
Our satisfying portion
For all eternity.
Strong in the strength Thou givest,
We overcome the foe,
Thy Word our daily manna
As on by faith we go;
The world and its temptations
From henceforth we would flee,
Our inmost soul's affections,
Are set, O Lord on Thee.
So with our eyes, Lord Jesus,
More fully fixed on Thee,
We lean upon Thy bosom,
And still would following be,
Till in the Father's presence,
The family complete,
Shall see Thee, and be like Thee,
And sing Thy praises sweet.
Then shall God's loving purpose
Through Thee be gratified,
Then shall Thy heart, Lord Jesus,
Be fully satisfied;
And we in that bright glory
Shall see Thee face to face,
The objects there forever,
Of rich unchanging grace.
