this holy place shall ring;
our voices we will raise
the Three in One to sing,
and thus proclaim
in joyful song
both loud and long
that glorious name.

and move among us now;
receive each fervent prayer,
accept each faithful vow,
and more and more
on all who pray
each holy day
your blessings pour.

the grace which we implore;
and may that grace, once given,
be with us evermore,

hear your people as we pray,
and your fullest benediction
pour upon us here today.

Behold! the mountain of the Lord
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 187 hymnals Topics: Anniversary of a Church Lyrics: 1 Behold! the mountain of the Lord
in latter days shall rise
on mountain tops above the hills
and draw the wondering eyes.
2 To this the joyful nations round,
all tribes and tongues, shall flow;
up to the hill of God, they'll say,
and to his house we'll go.
3 The beam that shines from Zion hill
shall lighten every land;
the king who reigns in Salem's towers
shall all the world command.
4 Among the nations he shall judge;
his judgments truth shall guide;
his sceptre shall protect the just,
and quell the sinner’s pride.
5 No strife shall rage, nor hostile feuds
disturb those peaceful years;
to ploughshares men shall beat their swords,
to pruning-hooks their spears.
6 No longer hosts encountering hosts
shall crowds of slain deplore;
they hang the trumpet in the hall
pursuing war no more.
7 Come then, O house of Jacob! come
to worship at his shrine;
and, walking in the light of God,
with holy beauties shine. Scripture: Isaiah 2:1-10 Used With Tune: GLASGOW Text Sources: Scottish Paraphrases, 1781, alt.

your flock from age to age;
the wondrous tale is written
full clear, on every page.
your people owed your goodness,
and we their deeds accord;
and both of this bear witness:
one church, one faith, one Lord.
2 Your heralds brought glad tidings
to greatest, as to least;
they bade them rise, and hasten
to share the great king's feast;
and this was all their teaching,
in every deed and word,
to all alike proclaiming
one church, one faith, one Lord.
3 Through many a day of darkness,
through many a scene of strife,
the faithful few fought bravely
to guard the nation's life.
Their gospel of redemption,
sin pardoned, earth restored,
was all in this enfolded:
one church, one faith, one Lord.
4 Your mercy will not fail us,
nor leave your work undone;
with your right hand to help us
the victory shall be won;
and then by all creation
your name shall be adored,
and this shall be our anthem:
one church, one faith, one Lord. Scripture: Ephesians 4:1-6 Used With Tune: THORNBURY

Community of Christ
Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Anniversary of a Church Lyrics: 1 Community of Christ,
who make the Cross your own,
live out your creed and risk your life
for God alone:
the God who wears your face,
to whom all worlds belong,
whose children are of every race
and every song.
2 Community of Christ,
look past the Church's door
and see the refugee, the hungry,
and the poor.
Take hands with the oppressed,
the jobless in your street,
take towel and water, that you wash
your neighbour's feet.
3 Community of Christ,
through whom the word must sound -
cry out for justice and for peace
the whole world round:
disarm the powers that war
and all that can destroy,
turn bombs to bread, and tears of anguish
into joy.
4 When menace melts away,
so shall God's will be done,
the climate of the world be peace
and Christ its Sun;
our currency be love
and kindliness our law,
our food and faith be shared as one
for evermore. Scripture: Matthew 8:8-17 Used With Tune: LEONI
