Hymn Prelude No. 156 God of Our Fathers (Standing)

I. OUR DAY OF MEMORY

Call to Worship (Read responsively)
Renewed this day be all noble memories,
All high and holy traditions of the past.
Remembered be our Fathers, who founded the nation in integrity and piety,
And died in faith, not having received the promises, but seeing them afar off.

All:
The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

Choral Response

Where loyal hearts and true Stand ever in the light,
All rapture through and through, In God's most holy sight. A-men

All:	Who through faith	$\scriptstyle {\left\{{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \\\ \\\ \\\ \\\ \\\ \\\ \\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right.}$	subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, waxed mighty in war, turned to flight armies of aliens.
	Seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of wit­nesses, let us run with patience the race that is set before us.
