†oPeninG hyMn #525 Now Thank We All Our GodNow thank we all our God with hearts and hands and voices, Who wondrous things hath done, in whom His world rejoices;

Who, from our mothers’ arms, hath blessed us on our way With countless gifts of love, and still is ours today.

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.

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.

antheM O Sing, RejoiceO sing! Rejoice! Lift up a joyful song to God with ev’ry voice!

O sing! Rejoice! O sing! Rejoice! O sing! Rejoice! Lift up a joyful song with ev’ry voice, with ev’ry voice!

O sing! Rejoice! O sing Rejoice! Lift up a joyful song! Lift up a joyful song to God!

Lift a song forever more to God! O sing! Rejoice! Lift up a joyful song to God with ev’ry voice!

O sing! Rejoice! O sing! Rejoice! Lift up a joyful song with ev’ry voice! O sing! Rejoice! O sing! rejoice with ev’ry voice! Alleluia!

†cloSinG hyMn #370 O God Our Help in Ages PastO God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home!

Under the shadow of Thy throne still may we dwell secure; Sufficient is Thine arm alone, and our defense is sure.

Before the hills in order stood, or earth received her frame, From everlasting Thou art God, to endless years the same.

A thousand ages in Thy sight are like an evening gone; Short as the watch that ends the night, before the rising sun.

O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, Be Thou our guide while life shall last, and our eternal home!
