The Order for the Service
PRELUDE
THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER
O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming!
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there:
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave ?
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
THE CALL TO WORSHIP - - - - - - Dr. Manton
The Lord is good: His mercy endureth forever;
And His truth endureth to all generations.
This is the day which the Lord hath made,
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His Name together,
For with Him is the fountain of life, and in Him shall we see light.
INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT - - - - President Dealey
In the life of a City, as in the life of a person, a birthday is a sig-
nificant occasion. It should be a time of searching self-analysis, of
re-thinking the past, and of high resolve for the future. The one
hundredth anniversary of the founding of a City is a momentous
occasion, one which not only calls the citizenry to thanksgiving for
the blessings of the century that is done, but challenges them to a
solemn dedication of their talents, their means, their personal en-
deavors, to those tasks which are the responsibility and the high priv-
ilege of "citizens of no mean city".
The Dallas Historical Society welcomes you to this Service of
Thanksgiving and Dedication, in this Shrine to a State's first century
which now houses treasures of a City's first century.1
