The Benediction
Chorus:
May you walk with Christ beside you.
Saints and angels share your way.
May the Holy Spirit guide you to the dawn of endless days.
Light to bless your

light to lead you.
Light
of Christ to shine and on your journey speed you.
Chorus
Hymn:
“Christ is Made the Sure Foundation”
Christ is made the sure Foundation,
Christ the
Head and Cornerstone;
Chosen of the Lord, and precious,
Binding all the Church in one,
Holy Zion's Help
forever,
And her Confidence alone.
All that dedicated city,
Dearly loved of God on high,
In
exultant jubilation,
Pours perpetual melody,
God the One in Three adoring
In glad hymns eternally.
To this temple, where we call Thee,
Come, O Lord of Hosts, today;
With Thy wonted lovingkindness
Hear
Thy servants as they pray.
And Thy fullest benediction
Shed within its walls alway.
Here vouchsafe
to all Thy servants
What they ask of Thee to gain;
What they gain from Thee forever
With the blessèd
to retain,
And hereafter in Thy glory
Evermore with Thee to reign.
Laud and honor to the Father,
Laud and honor to the Son,
Laud and honor to the Spirit,
Ever Three and ever One;
Consubstantial, co-eternal,
While unending ages run.
