O Lord of hosts, Whose glory fills

Author: J. M. Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 98 hymnals Topics: Corner-stone and Consecration 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 belong; 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 minds that guide, endue with skill; The hands that work, preserve from ill; That we, who these foundations lay, May raise the top-stone 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 blessèd Trinity! Amen. Used With Tune: WAREHAM

Thy Temple is not made with hands

Author: C. F. Alexander Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Corner-stone and Consecration Lyrics: 1 Thy Temple is not made with hands, 'Tis lit by many a golden star; The purple height of mountain lands Its everlasting pillars are. 2 Thee, highest heaven cannot contain, Great Lord of earth, and sky, and sea! Yet enter in, and bless the fane Adoring hands have reared for Thee. [3* Unworthy gifts and touched with fears, And memories of our loved at rest; Draw nigh, O Lord, and dry our tears, And be Thy presence here confest.] 4 For welcome to the babe new-born, For strengthening hands on bended head, For blessings on the marriage morn, And sweet words whispered o'er the dead; 5 For food divine to souls sufficed, For words that warn, for prayers that press, Arise and enter in, O Christ! And with Thy presence all things bless. 6 So praise to Thy great Name shall rise Up from these walls, this sacred floor, Who made, Who saves, Who sanctifies, Forever and for evermore. Amen. * To be used of a memorial church Used With Tune: GERMANY

Ware Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Corner-stone and Consecration Lyrics: 1 O Thou in Whom alone is found The strength by which our toil is blest, Upon this consecrated ground Now bid Thy cloud of glory rest. 2 In Thy great Name we place this stone; To Thy great truth these walls we rear: Long may they make Thy glory known, And long our Saviour triumph here. 3 And while Thy sons, from earth apart, Here seek the truth from heaven that sprung, Fill with Thy Spirit every heart, With living fire touch every tongue. 4 Lord, feed Thy church with peace and love; Let sin and error pass away, Till truth's full influence from above Rejoice the earth with cloudless day. Amen. Used With Tune: WARRINGTON

Enter this temple, now Thine own, And let Thy glory fill the place. 2 We praise Thee that to-day we see Its sacred walls before Thee stand; 'Tis Thine for us; 'tis ours for Thee; Reared by Thy kind assisting hand. 3 Oft as returns the day of rest, Let heartfelt worship here ascend; With Thine own joy fill every breast, With Thine own power Thy word attend. 4 Here in the dark and sorrowing day, Bid Thou the throbbing heart be still; Oh, wipe the mourner's tears away, And give new strength to meet Thy will. 5 When round the Board Thine own shall meet, And keep the feast of dying love, Be our communion ever sweet With Thee, and with Thy Church above. 6 Come, faithful Shepherd, feed Thy sheep; In Thine own arms the lambs enfold; Give help to climb the heavenward steep, Till Thy full glory we behold.

Triune God, all thought transcending, Fain would we a temple raise Worthy of Thy loving kindness, Hallowed thro' all earthly days. 2 Make these stones a hallowed symbol, Saints of God who run may read, Types of those whom, blest Redeemer, Thou from sin and woe hast freed, Pillars Thou hast hewn and shapen, Thine elect in every deed! 3 Lord! restore the gates of Sion, Let her courts with praise resound! May Thy light and love descending Shed their radiant joys around, So shall man reveal Thy glory: Earth, like heaven, be hallowed ground! Amen. Used With Tune: ROUEN
