Opening Hymn “Great Is Thy Faithfulness”
1 Great is Thy faithfulness O God my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changes not Thy compassions they fail not
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be
Refrain:
Great is Thy faithfulness Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness Lord unto me
2 Summer and winter and springtime and harvest
Sun moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness Mercy and love [Refrain]
3 Pardon for sin and a peace that endured
Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine with ten thousand beside [Refrain]

Closing Hymn “For All the Saints”
1 For all the saints who from their labor's rest
Who Thee by faith before the world confessed
Thy name O Jesus be forever blest
Alleluia
2 Thou waste their Rock their Fortress and their Might
Thou Lord their Captain in the well fought fight
Thou in the darkness drear their one true Light
Alleluia
3 O may Thy soldiers faithful true and bold
Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old
And win with them the victor's crown of gold
Alleluia
4 O blest communion fellowship divine
We feebly struggle they in glory shine
Yet all are one in Thee for all are Thine
Alleluia
5 From earth's wide bounds from ocean's farthest coast
Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host
Singing to Father Son and Holy Ghost
Alleluia
