Author: J. Montgomery Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #133 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Here, in Thy name, eternal God,
We build this earthly house for Thee;
O choose it for Thy fixed abode,
And guard it from all error free.
2 Here, when Thy people seek Thy face,
And dying sinners pray to live,
Hear Thou in heaven, Thy dwelling-place,
And when Thou hearest, Lord, forgive.
3 Here, when Thy messengers proclaim
The blessed gospel of Thy Son,
Still, by the power of Thy great name,
Be mighty signs and wonders done.
4 When children's voices raise the song,
Hosanna to the heavenly King,
Let heaven, with earth, the strain prolong,
Hosanna let the angels sing.
5 Thy glory never hence depart;
Yet choose not, Lord, this house alone;
Thy kingdom come to every heart;
In every bosom fix Thy throne. Topics: The Church Church Buildings; The Church Church Buildings Tune Title: [Here, in Thy name, eternal God]
