Author: E. Embree Hoss, 1849-1919 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, great Father, Lord and King! Our children unto thee we bring; and strong in faith and hope and love, we dare thy steadfast Word to prove. 2 Thy cov'nant kindness did of old our fathers and their seed enfold; that ancient promise standeth sure, and shall while heav'n and earth endure. 3 Look down upon us while we pray and visit us in grace today; these little ones thou didst receive, thy precious promise we believe. 4 They now the outward sign receive; wilt thou thy Holy Spirit give, and keep and help them by thy pow'r in ev'ry hard and trying hour. 5 Guide thou their feet in holy ways, shine on them thro' darkest days; uphold them 'til their life be past and bring them all to heav'n at last.

O risen Christ, who from Thy throne Dost rule Thy Church, and hear Thine own, Now seal by Thine almighty power The covenants of this sacred hour. 2.

O Lord of Hosts, Whose Glory Fills

Author: John M. Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 98 hymnals 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 with hands; 2. Grant that all we, who here today Rejoicing this foundation lay, May be in very deed Thine own. Built on the precious cornerstone. 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. Endue the hearts that guide with skill, Preserve the hands that work from ill, That we, who these foundations lay, May raise the topstone 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! Used With Tune: MELCOMBE Text Sources: Hymns for the Young, 1854
