God is here! As we his people

Author: Fred Pratt Green (1903-2000) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #445 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Dedication Festival; Other Saints and Festivals Dedication Festival Lyrics: 1 God is here! 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: 1 Corinthians 12:27-31 Languages: English Tune Title: EVERTON

Blessèd City, heavenly Salem

Author: J. M. Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #204 (1986) Topics: Dedication Festival; The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holy Days: Proper Lyrics: 1 Blessèd City, heavenly Salem, Vision dear of peace and love, Who, of living stones upbuilded, Art the joy of heaven above, And, with angel cohorts circled, As a bride to earth dost move! 2 From celestial realms descending, Bridal glory round her shed, To his presence, decked with jewels, By her Lord shall she be led: All her streets, and all her bulwarks, Of pure gold are fashionèd. 3 Bright with pearls her portals glitter, They are open evermore; And, by virtue of his merits, Thither faithful souls may soar, Who for Christ's dear name in this world Pain and tribulation bore. 4 Many a blow and biting sculpture Polished well those stones elect, In their places now compacted By the heavenly Architect, Who therewith hath willed for ever That his palace should be decked. 5 Laud and honour to the Father; Laud and honour to the Son; Laud and honour to the Spirit; Ever Three, and ever One: One in love, and One in splendour, While unending ages run. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: URBS BEATA

Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ISTE CONFESSOR (2)
