Meet to offer praise and prayer,
May we find in fuller measure
What it is in Christ we share:

All our varied skills and arts
Wait the coming of his Spirit
Into open minds and hearts.

Of our lifelong need of grace;

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: 1 Corinthians 12:27-31 Languages: English Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH

for the saints who before us have found their reward;
when the shadow of death fell upon them, we sorrowed,
but now we rejoice that they rest in the Lord.
2 In the morning of life, and at noon, and at evening,
he called them away from our worship below;
but not till his love, at the font and the altar,
had girt them with grace for the way they should go.
3 These stones that have echoed their praises are holy,
and dear is the ground where their feet have once trod;
yet here they confessed they were strangers and pilgrims,
and still they were seeking the city of God.

whose journey is ended, whose perils are past;
they believed in the light; and its glory is round them,
where the clouds of earth’s sorrows are lifted at last. Languages: English Tune Title: WAS LEBET (DRAPER)

the armies of the ransomed saints
throng up the steeps of light:
'tis finished! All is finished,
their fight with death and sin;
fling open wide the golden gates,
and let the victors in.
2 What rush of alleluias
fills all the earth and sky!
What ringing of a thousand harps
bespeaks the triumph nigh!
O day, for which creation
and all its tribes were made!
O joy, for all its former woes
a thousand-fold repaid!
3 Oh, then what raptured greetings
on Canaan's happy shore,
what knitting severed friendships up,
where partings are no more!
Then eyes with joy shall sparkle
that brimmed with tears of late;
orphans no longer fatherless,
nor widows desolate.
4 Bring near thy great salvation,
thou Lamb for sinners slain,
fill up the roll of thine elect,
then take thy power and reign;
appear, Desire of Nations,
thine exiles long for home;

There is a land of pure delight
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #697 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Funerals/Commemorations Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight,
where saints immortal reign;
infinite day excludes the night,
and pleasures banish pain.
2 There everlasting spring abides,
and never-withering flowers;
death, like a narrow sea, divides
that heavenly land from ours.
3 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood
stand dressed in living green;
so to the Jews old Canaan stood,
while Jordan rolled between.
4 But timorous mortals start and shrink
to cross the narrow sea,
and linger shivering on the brink,
and fear to launch away.
5 O could we make our doubts remove,
those gloomy doubts that rise,
and see the Canaan that we love
with unbeclouded eyes;
6 could we but climb where Moses stood,
and view the landscape o'er,
not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood,
should fright us from the shore. Scripture: Hebrews 11:16 Languages: English Tune Title: BEULAH

think they of their brethren more?
They before the throne who bow,
feel they for their brethren now?
2 We by enemies distrest,
they in paradise at rest;
we the captives, they the freed —
we and they are one indeed.
3 Those whom many a land divides,
many mountains, many tides,
have they with each other part,
fellowship of heart with heart?
4 Each to each may be unknown,
wide apart their lots be thrown;
differing tongues their lips may speak,
one be strong, and one be weak:
5 yet in sacrament and prayer
each with other hath a share;
hath a share in tear and sigh,
watch and fast and litany.
6 Saints departed even thus
hold communion still with us;
still with us, beyond the veil
praising, pleading, without fail.
7 With them still our hearts we raise,
share their work and join their praise,
rendering worship, thanks, and love,
to the Trinity above. Languages: English Tune Title: VIENNA
