HYMN.
O God, whose presence glows in all Within, around us, and above! Thy word we bless, thy name we call, Whose word is Truth, whose name is Love.
That truth be with the heart believed Of all who seek this sacred place; With power proclaimed, in peace received, --- Our spirits' light, thy Spirit's grace.
That love its holy influence pour, To keep us meek and make us free, And throw its binding blessing more Round each with all, and all with thee.
Send down its angel to our side; Send in its calm upon the breast: For we would know no other guide, And we can need no other rest.

HYMN.
One holy church of God appears Through every age and race, Unwasted by the lapse of years, Unchanged by changing place.
From oldest time, on farthest shores, ¿ Beneath the pine or palm, One Unseen Presence she adores With silence or with psalm.
The truth is her prophetic gift, The soul her sacred page; And feet on mercy's errand swift Do make her pilgrimage.
O living Church, thine errand speed; Fulfil thy task sublime ; With bread of life earth's hunger feed; Redeem the evil time.
