God is here! As we Your people meet to offer praise and prayer, May wwe find in full measure what it is in Christ we share.

Here as in the world around us , all our varied skills and arts...

Wait the coming of the Spirit into our open minds and hearts!

Shalom to you now, Shalom my friends,

May God's full mercies bless you, my friends,

In all your living and through your loving,

Christ be your Shalom, Christ be your Shalom.

Here are your symbols to remind us of our lifelong need of grace, Here are table, font and pulpit, Here the cross has central place, Here in honesty of preaching Here in silence as in speech, here in newness and renewal, God the Spirit comes to each!

Shalom to you now, Shalom my friends,

Christ be your Shalom, Christ be your Shalom!

Here our children find a welcome in the Shepard's flock and fold, Here as bread and wine are taken, Christ sustains us as of old. Here the servants of the Servant seek in worship and explore, what it means in daily living to believe and to adore.

Shalom to you now, Shalom my friends,

May God's full mercies bless you my friends,

In all your living and throughout your loving,

Christ be your Shalom, Christ be your Shalom.

Lord of all of church and kingdom, in age of change and doubt...

Keep us faithful in the gospels help us work your purpose out.

In this dedication is all we have to give, receive, and live not without you we adore and we believe, to seperate from sinful masses, there is nothing up our sleeve.

Shalom my friends Shalom my friends,

Christ be your Shalom, on tour where you roam.
