Here, in Thy name, eternal God

Hymnal: BW1870 #485 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Here, in Thy name, eternal God, We build this earthly house for Thee; Oh, choose it for Thy fix'ed abode, And guard it from all error free. 2 Here, when Thy people seek Thy face, And dying sinners pray to live, Hear Thou in heaven, Thy dwelling-place, And when Thou hearest, Lord, forgive. 3 Here, when Thy messengers proclaim The blesséd gospel of Thy Son, Still by the power of His great name Be mighty signs and wonders done. 4 Thy glory never hence depart; Yet choose not, Lord, this house alone; Thy kingdom come to ev'ry heart; In ev'ry bosom fix Thy throne.

O Lord of hosts, whose glory fills

Hymnal: BW1870 #486 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Lord of hosts, whose glory fills The bounds of the eternal hills, And yet vouchsafes, in Christian lands, To dwell in temples made of hands; 2 Grant that all we who here to-day Rejoicing this foundation lay, May be in very deed Thine own, Built on the precious Corner-stone. 3 Endue the creatures with Thy grace, That shall adorn Thy dwelling-place; The beauty of the oak and pine, The gold and silver, make them Thine. 4 To Thee they all pertain; to Thee The treasures of the earth and sea; And when we bring them to Thy throne, We but present Thee with Thine own. 5 The heads that guide endue with skill; The hands that work preserve from ill; That we, who these foundations lay, May raise the topstone in its day. 6 Both now and ever, Lord, protect The temple of Thine own elect; Be Thou in them, and they in Thee, O ever-blessed Trinity!

Christ is our Corner-stone

Hymnal: BW1870 #487 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Christ is our Corner-stone, On Him alone we build, With His true saints alone The courts of heaven are filled; On His great love our hopes we place, Of present grace and joys above. 2 Oh, then with hymns of praise These hallowed courts shall ring: Our voices we will raise The Three in One to sing, And thus proclaim in joyful song, Both loud and long, that glorious Name. 3 Here, gracious God, do Thou For evermore draw nigh; Accept each faithful vow, And mark each suppliant sigh; In copious shower on all who pray, Each holy day Thy blessings pour. 4 Here may we gain from heaven The grace which we implore, And may that grace once given, Be with us evermore,-- Until that day when all the blest To endless rest are called away.
