Christ is made the sure foundation
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-66 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 289 hymnals Topics: Anniversary of a Church Lyrics: 1 Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ the head and cornerstone,
chosen by the Lord, and precious,
binding all the church in one,
holy Zion's help for ever,
and her confidence alone.
2 All that dedicated city,
dearly loved of God on high,
in exultant jubilation
pours perpetual melody;
God the Three in One adoring,
praising him eternally.
3 Here among us, where we call you
come, O Lord our God, today;
with your gentle lovingkindness
hear your people as we pray,
and your fullest benediction
pour upon us here today.
4 Here bestow on all your people
what we ask of you to gain,
what we gain from you for ever
with the blessèd to retain,
and hereafter in your glory
evermore with you to reign.
5 Praise and honour to the Father,
praise and honour to the Son,
praise and honour to the Spirit,
ever Three and ever One,
one in might and one in glory
while eternal ages run.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 Used With Tune: WESTMINSTER ABBEY Text Sources: Urbs beata Hierusalem, Latin, c. 7th cent.

God Is Here!
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 47 hymnals Topics: Dedication, Anniversary; Dedication, Anniversary First Line: God is here! As we your people Lyrics: 1 God is here! As we your 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 the 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!

When All Your Mercies, O My God
Author: Joseph Addison Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 999 hymnals Topics: Anniversaries Lyrics: 1 When all your mercies, O my God,
my rising soul surveys,
transported with the view, I'm lost
in wonder, love, and praise.
2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul
your tender care bestowed,
before my infant heart conceived
from whom those comforts flowed.
3 When worn with sickness, oft have you
with health renewed my face;
and when in sins and sorrows sunk,
revived my soul with grace.
4 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
my daily thanks employ;
nor is the least a cheerful heart
that tastes those gifts with joy.
5 Through ev'ry period of my life
your goodness I'll pursue;
and after death, in distant worlds,
the glorious theme renew.
6 Through all eternity to you
a joyful song I'll raise;
for oh, eternity's too short
to utter all your praise.
Scripture: Psalm 23:6 Used With Tune: MANOAH
