O God beyond all praising, we worship you
today
and sing the love amazing, that songs
cannot repay;
for we can only wonder, at every gift you
send,
at blessings without number, and mercies
without end:
we lift our hearts before you, and wait
upon your word,
we honour and adore you, our great and
mighty Lord.
O God of all creation, who glory fills the
sky,
We gather in your presence, our spirits
lifted high;
To bring for humble service, those who
answer to your call,
That they may follow Christ, the example
for us all
Protect them and guide them, their faith in
you be strong,
As now they journey onward, we sing the
ancient song.
“You are a priest forever” within God’s
church on earth,
“in the order of Melchizadeck”, a priest
before your birth.
Called out to be our pastor, the flock of
Christ to serve;
From the humble to the haughty, the Word of
God make heard,
To celebrate the sacraments, in fitting
praise proclaim,
In love of Holy Trinity, give honour to God’s
name.
Then hear, O gracious Savior, accept the
love we bring,
that we who know your favour, may serve you
as our king;
and whether our tomorrows, be filled with
good or ill,
we'll triumph
through our sorrows, and rise to bless you still:
to marvel at your beauty, and glory in your
ways,
and make a joyful duty, our sacrifice of
praise.
