Lord, for the years your love has kept and guided
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, 1926- Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #736 (2010) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Dedication Festival Lyrics: 1 Lord, for the years your love has kept and guided,
urged and inspired us, cheered us on our way,
sought us and saved us, pardoned and provided,
Lord of the years, we bring our thanks today.
2 Lord, for that word, the word of life which fires us,
speaks to our hearts and sets our souls ablaze,
teaches and trains, rebukes us and inspires us,
Lord of the word, receive your people's praise.
3 Lord, for our land, in this our generation,
spirits oppressed by pleasure, wealth and care;
for young and old, for commonwealth and nation,
Lord of our land, be pleased to hear our prayer.
4 Lord, for our world; when we disown and doubt him,
loveless in strength, and comfortless in pain,
hungry and helpless, lost indeed without him,
Lord of the world, we pray that Christ may reign.
5 Lord, for ourselves; in living power remake us,
self on the cross and Christ upon the throne;
past put behind us, for the future take us,
Lord of our lives, to live for Christ alone. Languages: English Tune Title: LORD OF THE YEARS
Lord, for the years your love has kept and guided
O God of hosts, the mighty Lord
Author: Nicholas Brady, 1659-1726; Nahum Tate, 1652-1715 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #737 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Dedication Festival Lyrics: 1 O God of hosts, the mighty Lord,
how lovely is the place,
where thou, enthroned in glory, showest
the brightness of thy face!
2 My longing soul faints with desire
to view they blest abode;
my panting heart and flesh cry out
for thee, the living God.
3 For in thy courts one single day
'tis better to attend,
than, Lord, in any place besides
a thousand days to spend.
4 O Lord of hosts, my King and God,
how highly blest are they
who in thy temple always dwell,
and there thy praise display!
5 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
the God whom we adore,
be glory, as it was, is now,
and shall be evermore. Languages: English Tune Title: YORK
O God of hosts, the mighty Lord
Pleasant are thy courts above
Author: Henry Francis Lyte, 1793-1847 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #740 (2010) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Dedication Festival Lyrics: 1 Pleasant are thy courts above
in the land of light and love;
pleasant are thy courts below
in this land of sin and woe;
Oh, my spirit longs and faints
for the converse of thy saints,
for the brightness of thy face,
for thy fullness, God of grace.
2 Happy birds that sing and fly
round thy altars, O most high;
happier souls that find a rest
in a heavenly Father's breast;
like the wandering dove that found
no repose on earth around,
they can to their ark repair,
and enjoy it ever there.
3 Happy souls, their praises flow
even in this vale of woe;
waters in the desert rise,
manna feeds them from the skies,
on they go from strength to strength,
till they reach thy throne at length,
at thy feet adoring fall,
who hast led them safe through all.
4 Lord, be mine this prize to win,
guide me through a world of sin,
keep me by thy saving grace,
give me at thy side a place;
sun and shield alike thou art,
guide and guard my erring heart;
grace and glory flow from thee;
shower, O shower them, Lord, on me. Scripture: Psalm 84 Languages: English Tune Title: MAIDSTONE
Pleasant are thy courts above
We love the place, O God
Author: William Bullock, 1798-1874; Henry Williams Baker, 1821-1877 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #741 (2010) Meter: 6.6.6.6 Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Dedication Festival Lyrics: 1 We love the place, O God,
wherein thine honour dwells;
the joy of thine abode
all earthly joy excels.
2 We love the house of prayer,
wherein thy servants meet;
and thou, O Lord, art there
thy chosen flock to greet.
3 We love the sacred font;
for there the holy Dove
to pour is ever wont
his blessing from above.
4 We love thine altar, Lord;
O what on earth so dear?
For there, in faith adored,
we find thy presence near.
5 We love the word of life,
the word that tells of peace,
of comfort in the strife,
and joys that never cease.
6 We love to sing below
for mercies freely given;
but O, we long to know
the triumph-song of heaven.
7 Lord Jesus, give us grace
on earth to love thee more,
in heaven to see thy face,
and with thy saints adore. Scripture: Psalm 26:8 Languages: English Tune Title: QUAM DILECTA
We love the place, O God
I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above
Author: Cecil Spring-Rice, 1859-1918 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #742 (2010) Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions National Lyrics: 1 I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love:
the love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
that lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
the love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
the love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.
2 And there's another country I've heard of long ago,
most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
we may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
and soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
and her ways are ways of gentleness and all her paths are peace. Languages: English Tune Title: THAXTED
I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above
