THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN (The Congregation will rise to sing)
LIFT HIGH THE CROSS
Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim Till all the world adore his sacred name.
Come, Christians, follow where our captain trod, Our king victorious, Christ, the Son of God. (refrain)
Led on their way by this triumphant sign,
The hosts of God in conquering ranks combine. (refrain)
All newborn soldiers of the crucified
Bear on their brows the seal of Him who died. (refrain)
O Lord, once lifted on the glorious tree,
Raise us, and let your cross the magnet be. (refrain)
So shall our song of triumph ever be: Praise to the Crucified for victory! (refrain)

THE ANNIVERSARY HYMN
1 Our fathers' God in years long gone, Our God for all the years to be, Accept the sacrifice of praise We bring to you on bended knee. For mercies to our fathers shown, For all your grace, so rich and free, To you, great God, the One in Three, We sing the hymn of jubilee.
2. You led our fathers to this land,
A land of beauty, bounty, pow'r;
You blessed the labors of their hands, Upheld them in each trial hour. You kept them faithful to your Word, Were not a-shamed their God to be. To you their sons sing gratefully The joyful hymn of jubilee.
(continued on next page)
THE ANNIVERSARY HYMN (continued)
3. Make us the channels of your love,
Your endless mercy, pow'r and peace.
So build your Church in ev'ry place,
And day by day her strength increase.
May we hold high the cross of Christ,
Who rose and lives eternally, That all in
him their Savior see And sing the hymn
of jubilee.
4. Grant us your mercy to the end,
With all your Spirit's pow'r and grace,
Till with the ransomed, white-robed throng We stand at last before your face, Where we with bright angelic choirs And all who served you faithfully Will blend our voices endlessly In one unending jubilee.
Text: W. Harry Krieger, 1914-74

THE ANTHEM Sing Ye All for Joy" - Banchieri (Trinity Adult Choir)
THE HYMN ................. God the Father, Son, and Spirit"
God the Father, Son, and Spirit, Ever blessed Trinity,
Humbly now our thanks we offer,
All unworthy tho' we be.
Freely Thou hast showered blessings Countless as the ocean's sands, Blessings rich and over-flowing, On the labors of our hands.
Thou didst guide our fathers' footsteps To this land we hold so dear, Lengthening the cords and curtains Of their habitation here;
Strengthening Thy temple's pillars As Thou hast from age to age; Giving us, their sons and daughters, An abiding heritage.
(continued on next page)
THE HYMN (continued)
Grant that we Thy Word may cherish And its purity retain.
Lord, unless Thou art the Builder, All our labor is in vain.
Keep us from all pride and boasting, Vanity and foolish trust,
Knowing that our work without Thee Soon will crumble into dust.
God of grace and love and blessing, Thine alone shall be the praise; Give us hearts to trust Thee truly, Hands to serve Thee all our days. Lord, bestow Thy future blessing Till we join the heav'nly host,
There to praise and serve Thee ever, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

1. Beautiful Savior, King of Creation, Son of God, and Son of Man! Truly I'd love Thee,
Truly I'd serve Thee,
Light of my soul, my Joy, my Crown.

Robed in flow'rs of blooming spring;

Jesus is purer;
He makes our sorr'wing spirit sing.

Bright the sparkling stars on high; Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer,
