Dwell in this holy place,
E’en now descend!
This temple, reared to Thee,
O may it ever be
Filled with Thy majesty,
Till time shall end!
2 Be in each song of praise,
Which here Thy people raise
With hearts aflame!
Let every anthem rise
Like incense to the skies,
A joyful sacrifice
To Thy blest Name!
3 Speak, O eternal Lord,
Out of Thy living Word,
O give success!
Do Thou the truth impart
Unto each waiting heart;
Source of all strength Thou art,
Thy Gospel bless!
4 To the great One in Three
Glory and praises be
In love now given!
Glad songs to Thee we sing,
Glad hearts to Thee we bring,
Till we our God and King
Shall praise in heaven!
Amen. Tune Title: TRINITY (ITALIAN HYMN)

Angel Voices, Ever Singing
Author: Francis Pott Hymnal: The Hymnbook #30 (1955) Meter: 8.5.8.5.8.7 Topics: Installations Pastor; Installations Minister of Music Lyrics: 1 Angel voices, ever singing
Round Thy throne of light,
Angel harps, forever ringing,
Rest not day nor night;
Thousands only live to bless Thee,
And confess Thee Lord of might.
2 Lord, we know Thy love rejoices
O'er each work of Thine;
Thou didst ears and hands and voices
For Thy praise combine;
Craftsman's art and music's measure
For Thy pleasure didst design.
3 Here, great God, today we offer
Of Thine own to Thee;
And for Thine acceptance proffer,
All unworthily,
Hearts and minds, and hands and voices,
In our choicest melody.
4 Honor, glory, might, and merit,
Thine shall ever be,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
Blessed Trinity:
Of the best that Thou hast given
Earth and heaven render Thee.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 50:23 Tune Title: ANGEL VOICES

O Thou who makest souls to shine
Author: Rev. John Armstrong (1813-1856) Hymnal: The Hymnal #480 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Special Seasons and Services Installations: Pastor; Installations Lyrics: 1 O Thou who makest souls to shine
With light from brighter worlds above,
Now send Thy glistening dew divine
On all who seek a Saviour's love.
2 Do Thou Thy benediction give
On all who teach, on all who learn,
That all Thy Church may holier live,
And every lamp more brightly burn.
3 Give those that teach pure hearts and wise,
Faith, hope, and love, all warmed by prayer;
Themselves first training for the skies,
They best will raise their people there.
4 O bless the shepherd, bless the sheep,
That guide and guided both be one—
One in the faithful watch they keep,
Until this hurrying life be done.
Amen. Tune Title: SOLOTHURN
O Thou who makest souls to shine
God of the prophets! Bless the prophets' sons
Author: Rev. Dennis Wortman Hymnal: The Hymnal #481 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Special Seasons and Services Installations: Pastor; Installations Lyrics: 1 God of the prophets! Bless the prophets' sons;
Elijah's mantle o'er Elisha cast;
Each age its solemn task may claim but once;
Make each one nobler, stronger than the last.
2 Anoint them prophets! Make their ears attent
To Thy divinest speech; their hearts awake
To human need; their lips make eloquent
To gird the right and every evil break.
3 Anoint them priests! Strong intercessors they
For pardon, and for charity and peace!
O that with them might pass the world, astray,
Into the dear Christ's life of sacrifice!
4 Make them apostles! Heralds of Thy cross,
Forth may they go to tell all realms Thy grace;
Inspired of Thee, may they count all but loss,
And stand at last with joy before Thy face.
Amen. Tune Title: TOULON
God of the prophets! Bless the prophets' sons
Lord of the Church, we humbly pray
Author: Rev. Charles Wesley; Edward Osler Hymnal: The Hymnal #482 (1950) Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Topics: Special Seasons and Services Installations: Pastor; Installations Lyrics: 1 Lord of the Church, we humbly pray
For those who guide us in Thy way,
And speak Thy holy Word;
With love divine their hearts inspire,
And touch their lips with hallowed fire,
And needful grace afford.
2 Help them to preach the truth of God,
Redemption through the Saviour's blood;
Nor let the Spirit cease
On all the Church His gifts to shower;
To them, a Messenger of power,
To us, of life and peace.
3 So may they live to Thee alone;
Then hear the welcome word,"Well done!"
And take their crown above;
Enter into their Master's joy,
And all eternity employ
In praise and bliss and love.
Amen. Tune Title: MAGDALEN COLLEGE

God the Spirit, Guide and Guardian
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #355 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Installation; Installations Lyrics: 1 God the Spirit, guide and guardian,
wind-sped flame and hovering dove,
Breath of life and voice of prophets,
sign of blessing, power of love:
Give to those who lead your people
fresh anointing of your grace;
Send them forth as bold apostles
to your church in every place.
2 Christ our Savior, sovereign, shepherd,
Word made flesh, love crucified,
Teacher, healer, suffering servant,
friend of sinners, foe of pride:
In your tending may all pastors
learn and live a shepherd's care;
Grant them courage and compassion
shown through word and deed and prayer.
3 Great Creator, life-bestower,
truth beyond all thought's recall,
Fount of wisdom, womb of mercy,
giving and forgiving all:
as you know our strength and weakness,
so may those the church exalts
Oversee its life steadfastly,
yet not overlook its faults.
4 Triune God, mysterious being,
undivided and diverse,
Deeper than our minds can fathom,
greater than our creeds rehearse:
Help us in our varied callings
your full image to proclaim,
That our ministries uniting
may give glory to your name. Scripture: John 10:11-16 Languages: English Tune Title: HYFRYDOL
God the Spirit, Guide and Guardian
