 HYMN No. 1. 
 
 Lord of heaven, and earth, and ocean, 
 
 Hear us from Thy brig-ht abode. 
 While our hearts, with deep devotion. 
 
 Own their <^reat and gfracious God : 
 Now with joy we come before Thee, 
 
 Seek Thy face, Thy mercies sing* ; 
 Lord of life, and lig-ht, and g'lory, 
 
 Guard Thy church, and guide our Queen. 
 
 Peace and health, and every blessing-, 
 
 Are Thy bounteous gfifts alone ; 
 Comforts undeserved possessing-. 
 
 Here we bend before Thy throne : 
 Young and old, O God, before Thee 
 
 Their united tribute bring ; 
 Lord of life, and light, and glory, 
 
 Shield our land, and save our Queen. 
 
 Thee, with humble adoration. 
 
 Lord, we praise for mercies past ; 
 Still to this most favour'd nation 
 
 May those mercies ever last ; 
 And Thy servants st-J before Th^e 
 
 Songs of ceaseless praise will sing : 
 Lord of life, and light, and glory, 
 
 Bless Thy people, bless the Queen. Amen, 
 
 BISHOP'S ADDRESS OF WELCOME. 
 
 THANKSGIVING PRAYER. 
 
 OGOD, the Father of all mercies, and author of every bless- 
 ing, we offer now to Thee the thanksgiving and gratitude 
 of our hearts for Thine iniini' kindness and love loward 
 us all in bringing home in peace and security these Thy dear 
 servants — the Canadian Soldiers of our Queen. 
 
 We praise and glorify Thee, O Thou covenant-keeping God, 
 for having kept ward and vigil over them, from the first day of 
 their going forth until this the hour of their joyous return. With 
 Thine own right hand, and with Thy holy arm, Thou hast 
 covered their heads in the day of battle, and kept them un- 
 harmed amid all the dangers and calamities of war ; from fever 
 and sickness, by which so many have been carried away. Thou 
 hast in mercy saved them, and finally, binding storm and tempest 
 in Thine own hand, hast brought them in peace across the track- 
 less deep. May the remembrance of Thy goodness to them lead 
 them all to yield themselves with full and unreserved consecra- 
 tion to Thy holy will, and to trust with unwavering failh on that 
 
 dear Saviour w

 death : thou di ist open the Kingdom of Heaven to 
 all believers. 
 
 Thou sittest at the right hand of God : in the 
 Glory of the Father.

 confounded. 
 
HYMN No. a. 
 
 Now thank we all our God, 
 With heart and hands and vo' ^es, 
 
 Who wondrous things hath done, 
 In whom His world rejoices ; 
 Who from our mother's arms 
 Hath bless'd us on our way 
 With countless gifts of love, 
 And still is ours to-day. 
 
 O may this bounteous God 
 Through all our life be near us, 
 
 With ever oyfui hearts 
 And blessed peace to cheer us ; 
 And keep us in His grace, 
 
 And guide us when perplex'd, 
 And free us from all ills 
 In this world and the next. 
 
 All praise and thanks to God 
 The l-ather now be given, 
 
 The Son, and Holy Ghost, 
 Supreme in highest heaven, 
 The One eternal God, 
 
 Whom earth and heaven adore. 
 For thus it was, is now, 
 And shall be evermore. AlfSN.

 God save our gracious Queen, 
 Long live our noble Queen, 
 
 God save the Queen : 
 Send her victorious, 
 Happy and glorious. 
 Long to reign over js : 
 
 God save the Queen. 
 
 O Lord our God, arise, 
 Scatter her enemies. 
 
 And make them fall : 
 Confound their politics ; 
 Frustrate their knavish tricks ; 
 On Thee our hopes we fix : 
 
 God Save us all. 
 
 Thy choicest gifts in store 
 On her be pleased to pour ; 
 
 Long may she reign : 
 May she defend our laws, 
 And ever give us cause 
 To sing with heart and voice, 
 
 God save the Queen. Amen.
