Lord
Thou hast known our joy
Building for Thine employ
This house of prayer;
As we Thy help have sought
With labor long have wrought
Our willing offerings brought
This work to share.
Now as we give it Thee
Thine evermore to be
Who givest all
Come
Thou
O Lord divine
Make this Thy holy shrine
Where Thy pure light may shine;
O hear our call!
May this new temple prove
True witness to Thy love
To all men free;
May all who seek this door
And saving grace implore
Love one another more
As they seek Thee.
O Christ
the Church’s head
Who for us all hast bled
That we might live
Thy cross we lift on high
This house to glorify;
On Thee our hearts rely
Thy power to give.
though these hours of praise
And all our earthly days
Will soon be o’er
Still may these courts proclaim
The glory of Thy name
O Thou
who art the same
Forevermore!
