St. Luke's Anniversary Prayer written by: Ruby Petten Glory to Thee most mighty God, Who entered in the hearts of man A vision of a house of Prayer Wisdom to see and strength to plan A church where glory, praise and prayers Would echo for so many years. How often to the font we turned. And watches as Thy baptismal grace, Unto our children was outpoured Race after each succeeding race, As in this church Thy praise and prayers Would echo for so many years. And then in confirmation we Our vows and promises renew, Strengthened and guided by Thy love To do what Thou wouldst have us do, This church has heard our hopes and cares And blessed us for so many years. We at thine altar neath the cross Partake of Thy communion sweet, As side by side in Christian love We bow beneath thy mercy seat, And with the saints of bygone years We offer too our praise and prayers. So we would thank Thee that this church And Thy amazing power to save, Has guided us and led us on Our way from cradle to the grave. May we where once our fathers trod Rejoice and praise Thy name, O God. Thanks be thee most holy Lord, For things to come as in the past For countless children yet unborn Continued blessing we would ask; Who in this church their voices raise With one accord their prayers and praise. |
