Here in honesty of preaching, Here in silence, as in speech, Here in newness and renewal God the Spirit comes to each. 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. 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!
