One Listen, God is calling!
Come lift your voices in song!

and every day is a day of thanksgiving.

All Thank you God that we may join with others
to praise and worship you with song.
One Thank you for the new hymnal “Lift Up Your Hearts.”
All With hearts overflowing with gratitude we give thanks for:
Everyone who plays their symphonic notes with us
The creativity of the writers of music and lyrics
All those who brought this book into being
Our congregation as we share in this gift of song.
One In the name of God our creator,
we dedicate these hymnals to the glory of God,
for the beauty of our worship
and for the deepening of our relationship with you.
