A Litany For The Dedication Of The Carillon
Minister: 0 magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
Response: Let us enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with
praise.
Minister: Eternal Spirit, from whom stream all things excellent in man and nature,
and in whose sanctuary strength and beauty dwell, we worship thee. Lift up our
hearts above the harsh confusions of our time, above its din and clamor, and
here refresh our souls with harmony and praise.
Response: Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him with the Carillon that we now
dedicate to the glory of God and the service of mankind.
Minister: For all makers of melody, who have taught us to rejoice in song and
have lifted our spirits in hymns of gratitude and praise, we thank thee. Here
in thy sanctuary may music give our spirits wings, until above life's discords
we hear the voices of the heavenly host, singing "Hallelujah. The Lord God
Omnipotent reigneth."
Response: Let, everything that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.
Minister: 0 God of grace, grant that this instrument for thy praise, which we now
dedicate, may minister to the strengthening of our faith. Here in thy sanctuary
may we be reassured that life is not all dissonance and turmoil. Here may the
beauty of the Lord, our God, be upon us.
Response: 0 sing unto the Lord a new song; sing unto the Lord, all the earth.
Minister: Upon this congregation of thy people we beseech thy blessing. May the
outward harmony, with which here we worship thee, be reflected in our daily
lives—in the loveliness of friendship, in fraternal concord, and in good will
that heals the hurts of men and quiets their hostilities.
Response: In psalms and hymns and spiritual songs may we sing, making melody in
our hearts to the Lord.
Minister: Especially we pray that since our lives are beset with hardship and our
wayward spirits find duty difficult, we may here discover also the gladness of
Christ's discipleship. Here may the God of hope fill us with all joy and peace
in believing, until we serve the Lord with gladness and come before his presence
with singing. So comfort the sorrowful, lift up the discouraged, renew the
fainthearted, and teach us to say: The Lord is our strength and our song.
Response: 0 come, let us sing unto the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the
rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and
make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
Minister: As we remember our Master and his first disciples, of whom it is written,
"When they had sung an hymn, they went out into the Mount of Olives," we too,
being strengthened by thy Spirit, would be made ready for our difficult tomorrows.
Let not our worship here be an escape from life, but a preparation for life.
Here may we be so compassed about with songs of deliverance that tomorrow we
may be able to do what we ought to do and to stand what we must endure.
Response: Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine
heart. Wait, I say, on the Lord. AMEN.
