In the name which earth and heaven

Author: J. Ellerton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In the name which earth and heaven, Ever worship, praise, and fear, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Shall a house be builded here: Here with prayer its deep foundations, In the faith of Christ, we lay, Trusting by His help to crown it, With the top-stone in its day. 2 Here as in their due succession Stone on stone the workmen place, Thus, we pray, unseen but surely, Jesu, build us up in grace; Till, within these walls completed, We complete in Thee are found; And to Thee, the one Foundation, Strong and living stones, are bound. 3 Fair shall be Thine earthly temple: Here the careless passer-by Shall bethink him, in its beauty, Of the holier House on high; Weary hearts and troubled spirits Here shall find a still retreat; Sinful souls shall bring their burden Here to the Absolver's feet. 4 Yet with truer, nobler beauty, Lord, we pray, this house adorn, Where Thy Bride, Thy Church redeemèd, Robes her for her marriage morn; Clothed in garments of salvation, Rich with gems of heavenly grace, Spouse of Christ, arrayed and waiting Till she may behold His face. 5 Here in due and solemn order May her ceaseless prayer arise; Here may strains of holy gladness Lift her heart above the skies; Here the word of life be spoken; Here the child of God be sealed; Here the Bread of Heaven be broken, "Till He come," Himself revealed. 6 Praise to Thee, O Master-Builder, Maker of the earth and skies; Praise to Thee, in Whom Thy temple Fitly framed, together lies; Praise to Thee, eternal Spirit, Binding all that lives in one: Till our earthly praise be ended, And the eternal song begun! Amen. Topics: Laying of a Corner-Stone; Corner-stone and Consecration; Processionals Corner-stone and Consecration Used With Tune: BETHANY

I will sing my Maker's praises

Author: P. Gerhardt Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I will sing my Maker's praises, And in Him most joyful be, For in all things I see traces Of the good He meaneth me: Nothing else but love could move Him With such sweet and tender care All who try to serve and love Him. Evermore to raise and bear. 2 Yea, so dear doth He esteem me, That His Son He loves so well He hath given to redeem me From the quenchless flames of hell; Well of life that springeth ever! Sea of love that hath no ground! Fruitless were my best endeavor Depth of love like thine to sound. 3 All which for my soul is needful He will carefully provide, Nor of that is He unheedful Which my body needs besides: When my strength cannot avail me-- At the best a broken reed-- God appears; He will not fail me In the time of utmost need. 4 As a father ne'er removeth All his love for some lost child, But the prodigal still loveth, Yearning to be reconciled; So my many sins and errors Find a tender pardoning God, Who doth not with penal terrors Chasten them, but with the rod. 5 All His blows and scourges truly For the moment grievous prove, And yet, when I weigh them duly, Are but tokens of His love; Proofs that He is watching o'er me, And would, by the cross and rod, From this wicked world restore me To my Father and my God. 6 Since then neither change nor coldness In His precious love can be, Lo! I lift my hands with boldness, As a child I come to Thee. Grant me grace, O God, I pray Thee, That I may with all my might, Love and trust Thee and obey Thee Till I reach the realms of light.

Praise the Rock of our salvation

Author: B. Webb Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise the Rock of our salvation, Laud His name from zone to zone; On that rock the Church is builded, Christ himself the corner-stone; Vain against our rock-built Zion Winds and waters, fire and hail; Christ is in her midst; against her Sin and hell shall not prevail. 2 Built of living stones, cemented By the Spirit's unity, Based on prophets and apostles, Firm in faith and stayed on Thee, May Thy Church, O Lord Incarnate, Grow in grace, in peace, in love; Emblem of the heavenly Zion, The Jerusalem above. 3 Where Thou reignest, King of Glory, Throned in everlasting light, Midst Thy saints, no more is needed Sun by day, nor moon by night: Soon may we those portals enter When this earthly strife is o'er; There to dwell with saints and angels, In Thy presence evermore.
