It cannot freely move Till Thou hast wrought its chain; Enslave it with Thy matchless love, And deathless it shall reign. 3 My power is faint and low Till I have learned to serve; It wants the needed fire to glow, It wants the breeze to nerve; It cannot drive the world Until itself be driven; Its flag can only be unfurled When Thou shalt breathe from heaven. 4 My will is not my own Till Thou hast made it Thine; If it would reach a monarch's throne, It must its crown resign; It only stands unbent Amid the clashing strife, When on Thy bosom it has leant And found in Thee its life.

As we his people, Meet to offer praise and prayer, May we find in fuller measure What it is in Christ we share: Here, as in the world around us, All our varied skills and arts Wait the coming of his Spirit Into open minds and hearts. 2 Here are symbols to remind us Of our lifelong need of grace; Here are table, font and pulpit, Here the cross has central place: Here in honesty of preaching, Here in silence as in speech, Here in newness and renewal God the Spirit comes to each. 3 Here our children find a welcome In the Shepherd's flock and fold; Here, as bread and wine are taken, Christ sustains us as of old: Here the servants of the Servant Seek in worship to explore What it means in daily living To believe and to adore. 4 Lord of all, of church and kingdom, In an age of change and doubt, Keep us faithful to the gospel, Help us work your purpose out: Here, in this day's dedication, All we have to give, receive; We who cannot live without you, We adore you! We believe! Scripture: Luke 21:33 Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH

How shall my life, by grace restored, give worthy thanks, O LORD, to thee? 2 Salvation's cup of blessing now I take and call upon God's name. Before his saints I pay my vow and here my gratitude proclaim. 3 His saints the LORD delights to save; their death is precious in his sight. He has redeemed me from the grave, and in his service I delight. 4 With thankful heart I offer now my gift and call upon God's name. Before his saints I pay my vow and here my gratitude proclaim. 5 Within his house, the house of prayer, I dedicate myself to God. Let all his saints his grace declare and join to sound his praise abroad. Scripture: Psalm 116 Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM Text Sources: Psalter, 1912, alt.
