To Thee this temple we devote

Author: Jacob R. Scott Appears in 46 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To Thee this temple we devote, Our Father and our God; Accept it Thine, and seal it now Thy Spirit's blest abode. 2 Here may the prayer of faith ascend, The voice of praise arise; Oh, may each lowly service prove Accepted sacrifice. 3 Here may the sinner learn his guilt, And weep before his Lord; Here, pardoned, sing a Saviour's love, And here his vows record. 4 Here may affliction dry the tear, And learn to trust in God; Convinced it is a Father smites, And love that guides the rod. 5 Peace be within these sacred walls, Prosperity be here, Still smile upon Thy people, Lord, And evermore be near. Amen. Topics: Churches Dedication Used With Tune: STEPHENS

Author: Frederick L. Hosmer Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 25 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Light, from age to age the same, O ever living Word, Here have we felt Thy kindling flame, Thy voice within have heard. 2. Here holy thought and hymn and prayer Have winged the Spirit’s powers, And made these walls divinely fair, Thy temple, Lord, and ours. 3. O not in vain their toil who wrought To build faith’s freer shrine; Nor theirs whose steadfast love and thought Have watched the fire divine. 4. Burn, holy Fire, and shine more wide! While nations rise and fall, Faith, hope, and charity abide, The heart and soul of all. Used With Tune: ST. STEPHEN

The King shall come when morning dawns

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 101 hymnals Lyrics: The King shall come when morning dawns, And light triumphant breaks; When beauty gilds the eastern hills, And life to joy awakes. Not as of old a little child To bear, and fight, and die, But crowned with glory like the sun That lights the morning sky. O brighter than the rising morn When he, victorious, rose, And left the lonesome place of death, Despite the rage of foes; O brighter than that glorious morn Shall this fair morning be, When Christ, our King, in beauty comes, And we his face shall see. The King shall come when morning dawns, And earth's dark night is past; O haste the rising of that morn, The day that aye shall last; And let the endless bliss begin, By weary saints foretold, When right shall triumph over wrong, And truth shall be extolled. The King shall come when morning dawns, And light and beauty brings: Hail, Christ the Lord! Thy people pray, Come quickly, King of kings. Amen.
