Gathering Hymn

Gathered here, in the mystery of the hour,

Gathered here in one strong body.

Gathered here, in the struggle and the power,

Spirit, draw near.

Covenant

Love is the doctrine of this church.     

The quest of truth is its sacrament,

And service is its prayer.

To dwell together in peace;

To seek knowledge in freedom;

To serve humankind in fellowship;

Thus do we covenant with each other.

Hymn of Praise

From all that dwell below the skies

Let songs of hope and faith arise

Let peace, good will on earth be sung

Through every land, by every tongue.                  ~ based on Isaac Watts

As we leave this friendly place,

Love give light to ev'ry face;

May the kindness which we learn

Light our hearts till we return.
