Christ is made the sure Foundation
Author: Rev. John M. Neale; Anon. Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 289 hymnals Topics: Dedication Services Of a Church Lyrics: 1 Christ is made the sure Foundation,
Christ the Head and Cornerstone,
Chosen of the Lord and precious,
Binding all the Church in one;
Holy Zion's help forever,
And her confidence alone.
2 To this temple, where we call Thee,
Come, O Lord of Hosts, today:
With Thy wonted loving-kindness
Hear Thy people as they pray;
And Thy fullest benediction
Shed within its walls alway.
3 Here vouchsafe to all Thy servants
What they ask of Thee to gain,
What they gain from Thee forever
With the blessed to retain,
And hereafter in Thy glory
Evermore with Thee to reign.
4 Laud and honor to the Father,
Laud and honor to the Son,
Laud and honor to the Spirit,
Ever Three and ever One,
One in might, and One in glory,
While unending ages run!
Amen. Used With Tune: REGENT SQUARE Text Sources: Latin, 7th century

All Nature's Works His Praise Declare
Author: Henry Ware, Jr. Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 39 hymnals Topics: Dedication Services Of a Church Lyrics: 1 All nature's works His praise declare,
To whom they all belong;
There is a voice in every star,
In every breeze a song.
Sweet music fills the world abroad
With strains of love and power;
The stormy sea sings praise to God,
The thunder and the shower.
2 To God the tribes of ocean cry,
And birds upon the wing;
To God the powers that dwell on high
Their tuneful tribute bring.
Like them, let man the throne surround,
With them loud chorus raise,
While instruments of loftier sound
Assist his feeble praise.
3 Great God, to Thee we consecrate
Our voices and our skill;
We bid the pealing organ wait
To speak alone Thy will.
Lord, while the music round us floats
May earth-born passions die;
O grant its rich and swelling notes
May lift our souls on high!
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 24:1 Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM

This is my constant resting place,
And here will I delight to dwell.
4 I will abundantly provide
For Zion's good, the Lord hath said;

And satisfy her poor with bread.

Her saints shall shout with joy divine,
Messiah's power shall be revealed,
His glory in His Church shall shine.

Round Thy throne of light,
Angel harps, forever ringing,
Rest not day nor night;
Thousands only live to bless Thee,
And confess Thee
Lord of might.
2 Lord, we know Thy love rejoices
O'er each work of Thine;
Thou didst ears and hands and voices
For Thy praise combine;
Craftsman's art and music's measure
For Thy pleasure
Didst design.
3 Here, great God, today we offer
Of Thine own to Thee;
And for Thine acceptance proffer,
All unworthily,
Hearts and minds, and hands, and voices,
In our choicest
Melody.
4 Honor, glory, might, and merit,
Thine shall ever be,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
Blessed Trinity:
Of the best that Thou hast given
Earth and heaven
Render Thee.
Amen. Used With Tune: ANGEL VOICES

To find the better way;

And hallowed wishes rise,
While round these peaceful walls the storm
Of earth-born passion dies.
