Opening Hymn “God Is Here”
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 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

Closing Hymn “Love Divine All Loves Excelling”
1 Love divine all loves excelling joy of heaven to earth come down
Fix in us your humble dwelling all your faithful mercies crown
Jesus you are all compassion pure unbounded love impart
Visit us with your salvation enter every trembling heart
2 Come Almighty to deliver let us all your grace receive
Suddenly return and never never more your temples leave
We would always give you blessing serve you as your hosts above
Pray and praise you without ceasing glory in your perfect love
3 Finish then your new creation pure and spotless let us be
Let us see your great salvation perfect in eternity
Changed from glory into glory till in heaven we take our place
There to sing salvation's story lost in wonder love and praise
