Opening Hymn: “Christ is Made the Sure Foundation”
1 Christ is made the sure foundation Christ the head and cornerstone
Chosen of the Lord and precious binding all the Church in one
Holy Zion's help forever and her confidence alone
2 To this temple where we call Thee Come O Lord of Hosts today
With Thy wonted lovingkindness hear Thy people as they pray
And Thy fullest benediction shed within its walls always
3 Here vouchsafe to all Thy servants What they ask of Thee to gain
What they gain from Thee forever with the blessed to retain
And hereafter in Thy glory Evermore with Thee to reign
4 Laud and honour to the Father Laud and honour to the Son
Laud and honour to the Spirit ever Three and ever One
One in might and one in glory while unending ages run

Closing Hymn: “In Christ Alone”
1 In Christ alone my hope is found He is my light my strength my song
This Cornerstone this solid Ground firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love what depths of peace when fears are stilled when strivings cease
My Comforter my All in All here in the love of Christ I stand
2 In Christ alone who took on flesh fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness scorned by the ones He came to save
Till on that cross as Jesus died the wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid here in the death of Christ I live
3 There in the ground His body lay light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine bought with the precious blood of Christ
4 No guilt in life no fear in death this is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell no scheme of man can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home here in the power of Christ I'll stand
