Order of Dedication THE VERSICLES O Lord, open Thou my lips And my mouth shall show forth Thy praise. Make haste, 0 God, to deliver me. Make haste to help me, 0 Lord. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, World without end. Amen. THE HYMN (Sung to the tune of Old Hundredth) Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him all creatures here below; Praise Him above ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen. THE PSALM (Number 8, the Gelineau Translation) How great is your name, O Lord our God Through all the earth! Your majesty is praised above the heavens; On the lips of children and of babes You have found praise to foil your enemy, To silence the foe and the rebel. When I see the heavens, the work of your hands, The moon and the stars which you arranged, What is man, that you should keep him in mind, Mortal man, that you care for him? Yet you have made him little less than a god; With glory and honor you crowned him. Gave him power over the works of your hands, Put all things under his feet. All of them, sheep and cattle, Yes, even the savage beasts, Birds of the air, and fish That make their way through the waters. How great is your name, O Lord our God, Through all the earth!
