O Lord, Hear My Prayer
Be thou my guardian and my guide
Author: Isaac Williams, 1802-1865 Hymnal: Common Praise #385 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: 1 Kings 8:28-30 Lyrics: 1 Be thou my guardian and my guide,
and hear me when I call;
let not my slippery footsteps slide,
and hold me lest I fall.
2 The world, the flesh, and Satan dwell
around the path I tread;
O save me from the snares of hell,
thou quickener of the dead.
3 And if I tempted am to sin,
and outward things are strong,
do thou, O Lord, keep watch within,
and save my soul from wrong.
4 Still let me ever watch and pray,
and feel that I am frail;
that if the tempter cross my way,
yet he may not prevail. Topics: Lent I Year B; Proper 10 Year A; Third Sunday Before Advent Year C; Second Sunday Before Advent Year A; Lent Languages: English Tune Title: ABRIDGE

and human life become divine. Topics: Aniversary of Parish/Church; Gathering of the Community; Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: ROCKINGHAM

Out of Thy living word,
O give success!
Do Thou the truth impart
Unto each waiting heart;
Source of all strength Thou art,
Thy Gospel bless!

Glory and praises be
In love now given!
Glad songs to Thee we sing,
Glad hearts to Thee we bring,
Till we our God and King
Shall praise in heaven!

They Did Not Build in Vain
Author: Alan Luff (1928-) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #302 (1998) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Scripture: 1 Kings 8:22-30 Lyrics: 1 They did not build in vain
who founded here a church
as witness to God's love
amid a world of pain,
for still, to those who wish to see,
this place proclaims God's mystery.
2 They built upon the rock
that is the risen Lord,
the one foundation laid
which stands each earthly shock;
that, Spirit filled, we here might raise,
as living temples, prayer and praise.
3 Those who have loved this place,
a cloud of witnesses,
surround and urge us on
as we now run our race,
and so we lay aside each sin
in our desire to strive and win.
4 Though the horizon's bend
conceals the way ahead,
the footprints on the road
show Christ waits at the end;
in him alone our faith shall stand
who waits for us at God's right hand.
5 In every place our world
is storm and tempest tossed;
the flames of fear and hate
are evil's flags unfurled;
yet still the Spirit's wind and fire
pour gifts for service in this hour.
6 Here is our meeting place,
where doubt finds grounds of faith;
where hurt finds healing love,
our penitence your grace;
where bridging time to eternity
is God the holy Trinity. Topics: Aniversary of Parish/Church; Church Languages: English Tune Title: LITTLE CORNARD

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Common Praise #361 (2000) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Scripture: 1 Kings 8:27 Lyrics: 1 Glory be to God on high,
and peace on earth descend;
God comes down, he bows the sky,
and shows himself our friend!
God the invisible appears,
God the blest, the great I AM,
sojourns in this vale of tears,
and Jesus is his name.
2 Him the angels all adored,
their maker and their king:
tidings of their humbled Lord
they now to mortals bring:
emptied of his majesty,
of his dazzling glories shorn,
being’s source begins to be,
and God himself is born!
3 See the eternal Son of God
a mortal son of man,
dwelling in an earthly clod
whom heaven cannot contain!
Stand amazed ye heavens at this!
See the Lord of earth and skies
humbled to the dust he is,
and in a manger lies!
4 We earth's children now rejoice,
the Prince of peace proclaim,
with heaven’s host lift up our voice,
and shout Emmanuel’s name;
knees and hearts to him we bow;
of our flesh, and of our bone,
Jesus is our brother now,
and God is all our own! Topics: General Liturgical Section; Proper 6 Year C Languages: English Tune Title: AMSTERDAM

We Built a Sanctuary Sure
Author: Harold Humbert Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #439 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Scripture: 1 Kings 8:22-30 Lyrics: 1 We built a sanctuary sure;
it stands on sacred sod.
A church erected to endure,
the temple of our God.
We come to worship in this place
with aspiration high;
it is the consecrated place,
where God himself draws nigh.
2 The church is God’s abiding place,
his altar is within,
and here by faith we see God’s face,
are cleansed from stain of sin.
A sanctuary for the soul,
where love can cast our fear,
where broken spirits are made whole,
for God himself is here.
3 Around Christ’s table we commune
in fellowship supreme;
inspired by Christ, through word and tune,
of things divine we dream.
Forth from this sacred place we go
with challenge in each soul
to love, to lift, to build, to grow.
God’s kingdom is our goal. Topics: Special Occasions; Church--Dedication of a building; God--Protection by; Holy Communion; Worship Languages: English Tune Title: FOREST GREEN

O Jesus, fra det Høie
Author: Ludv. M. Bjørn Hymnal: Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i Amerika #681 (1919) Scripture: 1 Kings 8:15-62 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, fra det Høie
Hid vende du dit Fjed,
Lad Naade for dit Øie
Ske vort Forsamlingsted.
O, Herre, kom at tage
Dit Sæde i vor Kreds,
Da krones vore Dage,
Da er vi fuldt tilfreds.
2 Ei Sten paa Sten der findes
Af Zions Tempels Pragt,
Ak, vel vi alle mindes
Hin Naadetids Foragt!
Ak, du vort Hjerte drage
ved Ordets tille Magt,
At aldrig vi skal tabe
Vor Daabes dyre Pagt!
3 O Herre, vær vor Styrke,
Led os paa rette Sti,
Lær os dig ret at dyrke,
lad Trængsel gaa forbi.
Her ved dit Huses Tærskel,
Der slaa vi os til Ro,
Herfra til Livets Færdsel
Gaa vi med styrket Tro!
4 Mit Hjerte, det skal sjunge
Til Herrens Miskunds Pirs,
Min Røst skal høres runge
Til Herrens paradis!
Thi Ynk for os sig rørte
I Herrens milde Sind;
Fra fremmed Sti han førte
Os til Gudsfolket ind!
5 Se, Porten nu er aaben,
O Brødre, Søstre kom!
Ak, hører Jesu naaden
Fra Himlens Helligdom;
Ei Nogen staa tilbage,
Men fly fra VredensDom,
Du Stærke, støt den Svage,
Og begge sammen kom!
6 Med Lov og Tak vi mindes,
Du Frelser, for os bad,
At Intet maatte findes,
Som skiller Hjerter ad!
Kom, Haand i Haand vi vandre
Den store Pilgrimsgang,
Indtil vi med hverandre
Istemme Lammets Sang.
7 O, snart, o snart han kommer,
Vor Sjæles Brudgom hid
Og gjør en liflig Sommer,
Af al vor Nød og Strid.
Med Jubel vi da ile
Ad Perleporten skjøn,
Hos Gud vi finde Hvile
I Huset hos hans Søn!
