1. O beautiful for spacious skies,
for amber waves of grain; for purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed his grace on thee, and crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea. |
2. O beautiful for heroes proved
in liberating strife, who more than self their country loved, and mercy more than life! America! America! May God thy gold refine, till all success be nobleness, and every gain divine. |
3. O beautiful for patriot dream
that sees beyond the years thine alabaster cities gleam, undimmed by human tears! America! America! God mend thine every flaw, confirm thy soul in self-control, thy liberty in law. |

1. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee. Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty, God in three persons, blessed Trinity! |
2. Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee,
casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee, which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be. |
3. Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide thee,
though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see, only thou art holy; there is none beside thee, perfect in power, in love and purity. |

Prayer of Dedication
O God, our possessions often bring us a sense of safety and reassurance. We are too quick to place our faith and hope in earthly things – homes and cars and bank accounts and investment savings and technology. You invite us to place our faith in eternal, heavenly things. Today, we give you one type of earthly possession – money. In giving, we accept your invitation of the true security that is offered through your son, Jesus Christ. We pray in the name of God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

We Are God’s People

We are God's people, the chosen of the Lord,
Born of His Spirit, established by His Word; Our cornerstone is Christ alone, And strong in Him we stand: O let us live transparently And walk heart to heart and hand in hand. |
We are God’s loved ones, the Bride of Christ our Lord,
For we have known it, the love of God outpoured; Now let us learn how to return The gift of love once given: O let us share each joy and care, And live with a zeal that pleases Heaven. |
