Lo! God is here: let us adore
Author: Gerhard Tersteegen; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 291 hymnals Topics: The Church The Lord's House; Fear of God; God Abiding Presence of Lyrics: 1 Lo! God is here: let us adore,
And own how dreadful is this place;
Let all within us feel his pow'r,
And humbly bow before his face.

United choirs of angels praise;
To him, enthron'd above all height,
The host of heav'n their anthems raise.

Thy courts with grateful fragrance fill;
Still may we stand before thy face,
Still hear and do thy sovereign will.

The God whom earth and heav'n adore,
From men and from the angel host
Be praise and glory evermore.

and make this house your home;
descend with all your gracious powers;
come now, great Spirit, come!
2 Come as the fire: and purge our hearts
like sacrificial flame;
let our whole life an offering be
to our Redeemer's name.
3 Come as the dove: and spread your wings,
the wings of peaceful love;
and let your Church on earth become
blest as the Church above.
4 Come as the wind, with rushing sound
and Pentecostal grace,
that all of woman born may see
the glory of your face.

We come unto our father's God
Author: Thomas Hornblower Gill, 1819-1906 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 79 hymnals Topics: Approach to God The House of God Lyrics: 1 We come unto our fathers' God;
Their Rock is our Salvation;
The eternal arms, their dear abode,
We make our habitation;
We bring thee, Lord, the praise they brought,
We seek thee as thy saints have sought
In every generation.
2 The fire divine their steps that led
Still goeth bright before us;
The heavenly shield around them spread
Is still high holden o'er us;
The grace those sinners that subdued,
The strength those weaklings that renewed,
Doth vanquish, doth restore us.
3 Their joy unto their Lord we bring;
Their song to us descendeth;
The Spirit who in them did sing
To us his music lendeth:
His song in them, in us, is one;
We raise it high, we send it on,—
The song that never endeth.
4 Ye saints to come, take up the strain,
The same sweet theme endeavour;
Unbroken be the golden chain;
Keep on the song for ever;
Safe in the same dear dwelling-place,
Rich with the same eternal grace,
Bless the same boundless Giver.

The Earth and the Fulness with Which it is Stored
Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 39 hymnals Topics: House of God Lyrics: 1 The earth and the fullness with which it is stored,
The world and its dwellers belong to the Lord;
For He on the seas its foundations has laid,
And firm on the waters its pillars has stayed,
And firm on the waters its pillars has stayed.
2 What man shall the hill of Jehovah ascend,
And who in the place of His presence attend?
The man of pure heart and of hands without stain,
Who swears not to falsehood nor loves what is vain,
Who swears not to falsehood nor loves what is vain.
3 That man ever blest of Jehovah shall live,
The God of salvation shall righteousness give;
For this is the people, yea, this is the race,
The Israel true that are seeking His face,
The Israel true that are seeking His face. Scripture: Psalm 24 Used With Tune: ADESTE FIDELES
The Earth and the Fulness with Which it is Stored
Built on the Rock
Author: Nikolai Fredrik Severin Grundtvig, 1783-1872; Carl Döving, 1867-1937 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: House of God First Line: Built on the rock the Church shall stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock the Church shall stand
Even when steeples are falling.
Crumbled have spires in ev'ry land;
Bells still are chiming and calling,
Calling the young and old to rest,
But above all the soul distressed,
Longing for rest everlasting.
2 Surely in temples made with hands
God, the Most High, is not dwelling;
High above earth His temple stands,
All earthly temples excelling.
Yet He who dwells in heav'n above
Chooses to live with us in love,
Making our bodies His temple.
3 We are God's house of living stones,
Built for His own habitation.
He through baptismal grace us owns
Heirs of His wondrous salvation.
Were we but two His name to tell,
Yet He would deign with us to dwell
With all His grace and His favor.
4 Here stands the font before our eyes,
Telling how God has received us.
Th'altar recalls Christ's sacrifice
And what His Supper here gives us.
Here sound the Scriptures that proclaim
Christ yesterday, today, the same,
And evermore, our Redeemer.
5 Grant, then, O God, Your will be done,
That, when the church bells are ringing,
Many in saving faith may come
Where Christ His message is bringing:
"I know MY own; My own know Me.
You, not the world, My face shall see.
My peace I leave with you. Amen."

Lord and Maker, while we pray:
Let Thy presence fill the temple

Serve Thee everlastingly.

We may evermore possess.

With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours today. A-men.

Through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts
And blessèd peace to cheer us;
And keep us in his grace,
And guide us when perplexed,
And free us from all ills
In this world and the next.
3 All praise and thanks to God
The Father now be given,
The Son, and him who reigns
With them in highest heaven;
The one eternal God,
Whom earth and heaven adore;
For thus it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.
