Great God, a Blessing from Your Throne

Great God

a bless­ing from Your throne

Grant us who lay this cor­ner­stone

To build a church in which Your Word

Is pure­ly taught and glad­ly heard.

The work is Yours and not our own;

Oh

come

and make Your pre­sence known;

Our pray­ers ac­cept

our of­fer­ing bless

Our la­bors crown with due suc­cess.

We are the peo­ple of Your choice

And while we in this grace re­joice

Our pray­er is this

our con­stant care

That oth­ers too our bliss may share.

Lord

here erect a bless­èd home

Where Christ will ev­er bid us come

From Him re­ceiv­ing grace for grace

Till we be­hold You face to face.
