Author: Jane Marshall Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:8 First Line: What gift can we bring, what present, what token Lyrics: 1 What gift can we bring, what present, what token?
What words can convey it--the joy of this day?
When grateful we come, remembering, rejoicing,
what song can we offer in honor and praise?
2 Give thanks for the Past, for those who had vision,
who planted and watered so dreams could come true.
Give thanks for the Now, for study, for worship,
for mission that bids us turn prayer into deed.
3 Give thanks for Tomorrow, full or surprises,
for knowing whatever Tomorrow may bring,
God gives us his word that always, forever,
we rest in his keeping and live in his love.
4 This gift we now bring, this present, this token,
these words can convey it--the joy of this day!
When grateful we come, remembering, rejoicing,
this song we now offer in honor and praise! Topics: The Church Dedications, Anniversaries; Anniversaries; Dedications of Buildings; Anniversaries; Dedications of Buildings Used With Tune: ANNIVERSARY SONG
