Dedication Festival — For a Parish Church (3)
Almighty and everliving God, who, though the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee, much less a house made with hands, yet hast promised to be present wherever two or three are gathered together in thy name: Visit, we beseech thee, with thy heavenly benediction this place built for thine honour and glory; and because holiness becometh thine house for ever, sanctify with thy abiding presence the lives of all who worship thee here; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
