PROGRAMME OPENING HYMN: - Now Thank We All Our God 1 Now thank we all our God, With heart and hands and voices, Who wondrous things hath done, In whom His earth rejoices Who from our mother' arms Hath bless'd us on our way Who countless gifts of love, And still is our to-day. 2 O may this bounteous God, Through all our life be near us With ever joyful hearts, And blessed peace to cheer us; And keep us in His grace, And guide us when perplexed, And free us from all ills, In this world and the next. 3 All praise and thanks to God The Father, now be given, The Son and Him who reigns With them in highest heaven; The One eternal God, Whom earth and heaven adore; For thus it was, is now, And shall be evermore! Amen. INVOCATION: - In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Our Help is in the Name of the Lord. RESP: - Who Made Heaven and Earth. PSALM 24 (Responsive reading) The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof The world, and they that dwell therein For He hath founded it upon the seas And established it upon the floods. Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord Or who shall stand in His holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart Who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the Lord And righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of them that seek Him That seek thy face, O Jacob. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors And the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors And the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory. SCRIPTURE LESSON: 1 Cor. 3:9-17 PRAYER. DEDICATION SERVICE. CHOIR. ADDRESS: - Rev. Dr. F.G. Gotwald Exec. Secretary the Board of Education of the U.L.C. PROGRAMME -- CONTINUED HYMN: - The Church's One Foundation 1 The Church's one foundation Is Jesus Christ her Lord ; She is His new creation By water and the word ; From heav'n he came and soug't her To be His holy bride, With his own blood He bought her, And for her life He died. 2 Elect from every nation, Yet one o'er all the earth, Her charter of salvation One Lord, one Faith, one Birth; One holy Name she blesses, Partakes one holy food, And to one hope she presses, With every grace endued. 3 Though with a scornful wonder Men see her sore opprest, By schisms rent asunder By heresies distrest, Yet saints their watch are keeping Their cry goes up, "How long?" And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song. 4 'Mid toil and tribulation And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation Of peace for evermore; Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest. Amen. ADDRESSES: - The Mayor of Waterloo The Mayor of Kitchener Mr. W.G. Weichel, M.P.P. Mr. W.D. Euler, M.P. CHOIR. APPEAL FOR FUNDS: - Rev. Dr. E. Hoffman OFFERING CLOSING HYMN: - Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken. 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He, whose word cannot be broken, Form'd thee for His own abode ; On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded. Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See the streams of living waters Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river Ever flows their thirst to assuage? Grace, which, like the Lord, the Giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 Saviour, if of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy name. Fading is the worlding's pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion's children know. Amen. THE BENEDICTION.
