Thy Temple is not made with hands

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 Languages: English Tune Title: [Thy Temple is not made with hands]

[4* Behold at Thy commanding word, We stretch the curtain and the cord; Come Thou and fill this wider space, And bless us with a large increase.] 5 Great Shepherd of Thy chosen few, Thy former mercies here renew; And here to wayward hearts proclaim The sweetness of Thy saving Name! 6 Here may we prove the might of prayer, To strengthen faith and sweeten care: To teach our faint desires to rise, And bring all heaven before our eyes! 7 Here to the babe new-born on earth, Grant Thou the newer, better birth; By water and the Holy Ghost Restoring all that Adam lost. 8 Here to the weary, hungry, soul, Give Thou the gift that maketh whole; The bread that is Christ's flesh, for food, The wine that is the Saviour's blood. 9 Lord, we are few, but Thou art near; Nor short Thine arm, nor deaf Thine ear; Oh, rend the heavens, come quickly down, And make a thousand hearts Thine own! Amen. * For enlargement of the Church Languages: English Tune Title: [Jesu! where'er Thy people meet]
