Verse 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.
Verse 3
Here our children find a welcome
In the Shepherd's flock and fold;
Here, as bread and wine are taken,
Christ sustains us as of old.
Here the servants of the Servant
Seek in worship to explore
What it means in daily living
To believe and to adore.
Verse 4
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!
