Lyrics

O King of glory and O King of love,
we gather here within thy courts to pray;
Accept our thanks and praise, O God above,
for all the blessings which we share today.
This is thy temple, Lord, and thine alone,
herein thine alter and thine earthly throne.

In memory we journey back in time to when
this church was founded in thy name
And through the ensuing years we sought to climb
onward and upward, hearts and souls aflame,
Till now we face a future yet unknown,
but knowing well we face it not alone.

O King of glory and O thou Prince of peace,
unite us all in service, Lord, to thee;
O may our strength and courage never cease,
but grant us vision keen our path to see.

Endue us with thy power from above,
that we may find new ways to serve through love;
Help us to better serve mankind through love.
