Opening Hymn

God, We Praise You! (Nettleton)

1. God, we praise you! God, we bless you! God, we name you sov’reign Lord!
Mighty King whom angels worship, Father, by your church adored:
All creation shows your glory, Heav’n and earth draw near your throne,
Singing “Holy, holy, holy, Lord of hosts, and God alone!”

2. True apostles, faithful prophets, Saints who set your world ablaze,
Martyrs, once unknown, unheeded, Join one growing song of praise,
While your church on earth confesses, One majestic Trinity:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, God, our hope eternally.

3. Jesus Christ, the king of glory, Everlasting Son of God,
Humble was our virgin mother, Hard the lonely path you trod:
By your cross is sin defeated, Hell confronted face to face,
Heaven opened to believers, Sinners justified by grace.

4. Christ, at God’s right had victorious, You will judge the world you made;
Lord, in mercy help your servants For whose freedom you have paid:
Raise us up from dust to glory, Guard us from all sin today;
King enthroned above all praises, Save your people, God, we pray.

Concluding Hymn

Let All Things Now Living (Ash Grove)

1. Let all things now living A song of thanksgiving To God our Creator triumphantly raise;
Who fashioned and made us, Protected and stayed us, By guiding us on to the end of our days.
God’s banners are o’er us, Pure light goes before us, A pillar of fire shining forth in the night:
Till shadows have vanished And darkness is banished, As forward we travel from light into Light.

2. His law he enforces, The stars in their courses, The sun in its orbit obediently shine,
The hills and the mountains, The rivers and fountains, The depths of the ocean proclaim God divine,
We, too, should be voicing Our love and rejoicing With glad adoration, a song let us raise:
Till all things now living Unite in thanksgiving, To God in the highest, hosanna and praise.
