Christ is Made the Sure Foundation
Words: John Mason Neale (1818-1866)
Music: arr. Dale Wood (1934-2003)
Park Street Chamber Choir
Christ is made the sure foundation
Christ the head and cornerstone
Chosen of the Lord and precious
Binding all the Church in one
Holy Zion’s help forever
And her confidence alone
To this temple where we call Thee
Come O Lord of Hosts today
With Thy wonted lovingkindness
Hear Thy people as they pray
And Thy fullest benediction
Shed within its walls alway
Laud and honor to the Father
Laud and honor to the Son
Laud and honor to the Spirit
Ever Three and ever One
One in might and one in glory
While unending ages run.

Our Father who art in heaven; Hallowed be Thy name.

Be Thou My Vision
Words: Ancient Irish Hymn | versified Eleanor Hull (1860-1935)
Music: arr. Stephen Chatman (b. 1950)
Park Street Chamber Choir
Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
naught be all else to me, save that thou art–
thou my best thought by day or by night,
waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.
Be thou my wisdom, and thou my true word;
I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord;
thou my great Father, I thy true son;
thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one.
High King of heaven, my victory won,
may I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
still be my vision, O Ruler of all.
