Opening Hymn: Come Holy Ghost
Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest,
And in our hearts take up thy rest;
Come with thy grace and heav'nly aid
To fill the hearts which thou hast made,
To fill the hearts which thou hast made.
O Comforter, to thee we cry,
Thou heav'nly gift of god most high,
Thou fount of life, and fire of love,
And sweet anointing from above,
And sweet anointing from above.

Closing Hymn: On Eagle's Wings
You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord, who abide in his shadow for life,
say to the Lord: "My refuge, my rock in whom I trust!"
And he will raise you up on eagle's wings, bear you on the breath of dawn
make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of his hand.
The snare of the fowler will never capture you,
and famine will bring you no fear;
under his wings your refuge, his faithfulness your shield.
And he will raise you up on eagle's wings, bear you on the breath of dawn
make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of his hand.
