Hymn: O God, Our Help in Ages Past

O God our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home! Tune: St. Anne A thousand ages in thy sight Are like an evening gone, Short as the watch that ends the night, Before the rising sun. O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Be thou our guide while troubles last, And our eternal home.

Addresses:

Mayor for City of Peterborough Joel Chandler, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 52 President

Hymn: Abide With Me

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide; When other helpers fail, and comforts flee. Help of the helpless, O abide with me. I need thy presence every passing hour; What but thy grace can foil the tempter’s power? Who like thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. Tune: Eventide I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless, Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness; Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if thou abide with me.
