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 Word 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, 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!
