So from the beginning the fight we were winning: You, Lord, were at our side; all glory be yours! 3 We all do extol you our leader triumphant, And pray that you still our defender will be.

We are his folk, he does us feed, And for his sheep he does us take. 3 O enter then his gates with praise; Approach with joy his courts unto; Praise, laud, and bless his Name always, For it is seemly so to do. 4 For why? The Lord our God is good: His mercy is for ever sure; His truth at all times firmly stood, And shall from age to age endure. 5 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God whom heaven and earth adore, From us and from the angel host Be praise and glory evermore. * Praise God, from whom all blessings flow: Praise him, all creatures here below; Praise him above, you heav'nly host: Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Dedication of a Church Lyrics: 1 Eternal Son of God, O Thou, Before whom earth and heaven bow, Regard Thy people as they raise To Thee their songs of prayer and praise. 2 This house they dedicate to Thee, That here they may Thy glory see, Thy body and Thy blood they here Receive, their fainting souls to cheer. 3 Here in baptismal water pure They find for sins a gracious cure; Their children here to Thee they bring, O Thou our death-subduing King. 4 Here sin's diseases healing find, The weak grow strong, light cheers the blind; The troubled heart with peace is blest, And weariness finds heavenly rest. 5 When tempests shake the world around, The rock-built Church secure is found; The gates of hell may here assail Whom Christ defends, but not prevail. 6 To God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit, Three in One, Be praise: do Thou, whom we adore, Teach us to praise Thee evermore.

To my heart, oh, enter thou, Let it be thy temple now! 3 Here thy praise is gladly chanted; Here thy seed is duly sown; Let my soul, where it is planted, Bring forth precious sheaves alone, So that all I hear may be Fruitful unto life in me. 4 Thou my faith increase and quicken, Let me keep thy gift divine; How-so-e'er temptations thicken, May thy Word still o'er me shine As my guiding star through life, As my comfort in all strife. 5 Speak, O God, and I will hear thee, Let thy will be done indeed; May I undisturbed draw near thee While thou dost thy people feed. Here of life the fountain flows; Here is balm for all our woes. Used With Tune: UNSER HERRSCHER
