Dear Lord we sing your praise
In worship on this day.
Now and forever we shall raise
Our hymns along the way.
Lord meet us here, your truth proclaim.
Dear Lord we sing and praise your name!

By you we live and move.
Each day is yours to give.
Vain are our lives, till by your love,
Eternally we live!
Raise us, O Lord, to life anew.
In newness, may we honor you!

Dear Lord we seek to serve.
Go where you send with zeal.
Engaging others to observe
The message you reveal.
As you have done and as you live,
You call us, Lord, to do and give!

Love ever more shall reign.
O see what love has done.
Rejoicing saints, come and proclaim
Redeeming grace has won!
In every age, God’s truth, adore.
Praise God, now and forevermore!
