All things are thine; no gift have we

Author: Anon. Appears in 103 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All things are thine; no gift have we, Lord of all gifts! to offer thee; And hence, with grateful hearts to-day, Thine own, before thy feet we lay. 2 Thy will was in the builders' thought; Thy hand unseen amidst us wrought; Through mortal motive, scheme, and plan, Thy wise, eternal purpose ran. 3 No lack thy perfect fullness knew; For human needs and longings grew This house of prayer this home of rest: Here may thy saints be often blessed. 4 In weakness and in want we call On thee, for whom the heavens are small; Thy glory is thy children's good, Thy joy thy tender fatherhood. 5 O Father! deign these walls to bless, Make this the abode of righteousness, And let these doors a gateway be To lead us from ourselves to thee.

And wilt thou, O eternal God

Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 193 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And wilt thou, O eternal God, On earth establish thine abode? Then look propitious from thy throne, And take this temple for thine own. 2 These walls we to thy honor raise; Long may they echo with thy praise; And thou, descending, fill the place With choicest tokens of thy grace. 3 Here let the great Redeemer reign, With all the graces of his train; While power divine his word attends, To conquer foes, and cheer his friends. 4 And in the great decisive day, When God the nations shall survey, May it before the world appear That souls were born to glory here.

There's not a bird with lonely nest

Author: Anon. Appears in 47 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There’s not a bird with lonely nest, In pathless wood or mountain crest, Nor meaner thing, which does not share, O God, in Thy paternal care. 2 Each barren crag, each desert rude, Holds Thee within its solitude; And Thou dost bless the wanderer there, Who makes his solitary prayer. 3 In busy mart and crowded street, No less than in the still retreat, Thou, Lord, art near, our souls to bless With all a parent’s tenderness! 4 And every moment still doth bring Thy blessings on its loaded wing; Widely they spread through earth and sky, And last through all eternity! Amen. Topics: God Mercies of; Providence; Trust In God; Trust In Providence Used With Tune: WARE

Maker of land and rolling sea

Author: D. C. Eddy Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Maker of land and rolling sea, We dedicate this house to thee; And what our willing hands have done, We give to God and to the Son. 2 Come, fill this house with heavenly grace, While sinners throng the sacred place, And saints, with angel hosts above, Unite to sing redeeming love. 3 Here let the mourning soul find rest Upon the loving Saviour's breast; And with the sense of sins forgiven, Each heart aspire to God and heaven.
