Lord God, your name we praise

Author: Norma E. Walters Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #734 (2010) Meter: 6.6.8.5 D Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Dedication Festival Lyrics: 1 Lord God, your name we praise, our guide, throughout these years; you've led us all from ancient days, you've heard our prayers. Our fathers you inspired to create this grand design, and with enthusiasm fire their hearts and mind. 2 We love your house, O Lord, it stands with strength and power: its walls are bolstered with your truth; its steeples soar: within this temple fair your word has been proclaimed, your people heard them loud and clear and lives were changed. 3 Let bells and organ peal, and loud thanksgiving raise; let priest and people lift their hands in love and praise: let angels join the song of pure and holy joy; let men and children's voices strong, sweet notes employ. 4 Our prayers and anthems rise beyond the roof so tall: let psalms and hymns surround your throne our all in all. O great and mighty Lord who blessed us through the years, accept our thanks, almighty Lord, and joyful tears. 5 To you, Creator God, the one whom we adore, be honour, glory, wisdom, might for evermore. To you, Redeemer Son, we bow on bended knee, with Father and the Spirit one eternally. Languages: English Tune Title: LEONI

Lord, for the years your love has kept and guided

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, 1926- Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #736 (2010) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Dedication Festival Lyrics: 1 Lord, for the years your love has kept and guided, urged and inspired us, cheered us on our way, sought us and saved us, pardoned and provided, Lord of the years, we bring our thanks today. 2 Lord, for that word, the word of life which fires us, speaks to our hearts and sets our souls ablaze, teaches and trains, rebukes us and inspires us, Lord of the word, receive your people's praise. 3 Lord, for our land, in this our generation, spirits oppressed by pleasure, wealth and care; for young and old, for commonwealth and nation, Lord of our land, be pleased to hear our prayer. 4 Lord, for our world; when we disown and doubt him, loveless in strength, and comfortless in pain, hungry and helpless, lost indeed without him, Lord of the world, we pray that Christ may reign. 5 Lord, for ourselves; in living power remake us, self on the cross and Christ upon the throne; past put behind us, for the future take us, Lord of our lives, to live for Christ alone.

Pleasant are thy courts above

Author: Henry Francis Lyte, 1793-1847 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #740 (2010) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Dedication Festival Lyrics: 1 Pleasant are thy courts above in the land of light and love; pleasant are thy courts below in this land of sin and woe; Oh, my spirit longs and faints for the converse of thy saints, for the brightness of thy face, for thy fullness, God of grace. 2 Happy birds that sing and fly round thy altars, O most high; happier souls that find a rest in a heavenly Father's breast; like the wandering dove that found no repose on earth around, they can to their ark repair, and enjoy it ever there. 3 Happy souls, their praises flow even in this vale of woe; waters in the desert rise, manna feeds them from the skies, on they go from strength to strength, till they reach thy throne at length, at thy feet adoring fall, who hast led them safe through all. 4 Lord, be mine this prize to win, guide me through a world of sin, keep me by thy saving grace, give me at thy side a place; sun and shield alike thou art, guide and guard my erring heart; grace and glory flow from thee; shower, O shower them, Lord, on me.

I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above

Author: Cecil Spring-Rice, 1859-1918 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #742 (2010) Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions National Lyrics: 1 I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above, entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love: the love that asks no question, the love that stands the test, that lays upon the altar the dearest and the best; the love that never falters, the love that pays the price, the love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice. 2 And there's another country I've heard of long ago, most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know; we may not count her armies, we may not see her King; her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering; and soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase, and her ways are ways of gentleness and all her paths are peace.
