DEDICATION OF ORGAN (or Piano)
This dedication was done in a small rural church. The purchase of the
instrument, as is so often the case, was made possible by several bequests.
L It is good to give thanks to the LORD,
P To sing praises to your name, O Most High;
L To declare your steadfast love in the morning,
P And your faithfulness by night,
L To the music of the lute and the harp,
P To the melody of the lyre.
L For you, O LORD, have made me glad by your work;
P at the works of your hands I sing for joy. (Ps. 92:1-4)
L Eternal, caring God, creator of all,
we give you thanks;
P Your love, O Lord, is everlasting.
L For the freedom we enjoy to worship you
P With joyful hearts we thank you, O Lord.
L For the faithfulness of the saints
who have gone before us;
for their generosity of spirit
which built up this community of faith;
P With joyful hearts we thank you, O Lord.
Remembering their faithfulness,
and honouring their generosity,
we dedicate this organ
to your worship and praise,
and the glory of your name,
O Lord our God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen
