KO HELUHELU MA KA 'OLELO PELEKANIA
(Scripture Reading)*:
"I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and
nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him. Whatever is
has already been, and what will be has been before and God will call the past to
account." Eccles. 3:14 - 15
Doxology:*
Ho'o-na-ni ka Ma-ku-a mau, Ke Kei-ki me ka U-ha-ne no.
Ke Aku-a mau, Ho'o-mai-ka'i pu, Ko ke-ia ao, ko ke-la ao. Amene.

1. O Lord, my God, when I in awe-some won-der,
con-sid-er all the worlds Thy hands have made,
I see the stars, I hear the roll-ing thun-der,
Thy pow'r thro'-out the universe displayed.
Chorus: Then sings my soul, my sav-ior God, to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Sav-ior God, to Thee:
How gret Thou art, how great Thou art!

Austrian Hymn
For the islands and their people,
All who call Hawaii theirs;
For the mountains and the oceans,
Offer we our grateful prayers;
For the hope of Obookiah
That the gospel might be brought;
For the faith of those who answered
For the teachers and the taught.
God who searches and who knows us,
Understands each thought of ours;
Thou who leads and thou who holds us,
Lay Thy hand upon our power.
Grant that in our generation,
We, like them, may dare to say,
"Here am I, use me! Send me!"
As of old so now today.

He Lived A Life
What was his creed?
I do not know his creed. I only know
That here below, he walked the common road
And lifted many a load, lightened the task,
Brightened the day for others toiling on a weary way;
This, his only meed; I do not know his creed.
What was his creed? I never heard him speak
Of visions rapturous, of Alpine peak
Of doctrine, dogma, new or old;
But this I know, he was forever bold
To stand alone, to face the challenge of each day,
And live the truth, so far as he could see
The truth that evermore makes free
His creed? I care not what his creed;
Enough that never yielded he to greed,
But served a brother in his daily need;
Plucked many a thorn and planted many a flower;
Glorified the service of each hour;
Had faith in God, Himself, and fellow-men;
Perchance he never thought in terms of creed;
I only know he lived a life, in deed!
