To Thee this temple we devote

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 46 hymnals Topics: Dedication of a Church 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, Thy Spirit's blest abode. 2 Here may the prayer of faith ascend, The voice of praise arise: O may each lowly service prove Accepted sacrifice, 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, 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, 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, And evermore be near. Used With Tune: ARISE, ALL WHO ON EARTH DO DWELL
