Opening Hymn “My Country 'Tis of Thee”
1 My country 'tis of thee sweet land of liberty
Of thee I sing land where my fathers died
Land of the pilgrims' pride from every mountain side
Let freedom ring
2 My native country thee land of the noble free
Thy name I love I love thy rocks and rills
Thy woods and templed hills my heart with rapture thrills
Like that above
3 Let music swell the breeze and ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song let mortal tongues awake
Let all that breathe partake let rocks their silence break
The sound prolong
4 Our fathers' God to Thee author of liberty
To Thee we sing long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light protect us by Thy might
Great God our King

Closing Hymn “God of Our Fathers”
1 God of our fathers whose Almighty hand
Leads forth in beauty all the starry band
Of shining worlds in splendor through the skies
Our grateful songs before Thy throne arise
2 Thy love divine hath led us in the past
In this free land by Thee our lot is cast
Be Thou our Ruler Guardian Guide and Stay
Thy word our law Thy paths our chosen way
3 From war's alarms from deadly pestilence
Be Thy strong arm our ever sure defense
Thy true religion in our hearts increase
Thy bounteous goodness nourish us in peace
4 Refresh Thy people on their toilsome way
Lead us from night to never ending day
Fill all our lives with love and grace divine
And glory laud and praise be ever Thine
Benediction:
