Christ Is the Foundation
Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #279 (1926) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Topics: The Church Dedication; Epiphany, First Sunday; Church, Dedications; Church, Corner-stone laying; Laying of Corner-Stone Lyrics: 1 Christ is the foundation
Of the house we raise;
Be its walls salvation,
And its gateways praise.
May its threshold lowly
To the Lord be dear,
May the hearts be holy
That shall worship here.
2 On the Rock of Ages,
Resting broad and deep,
When life's tempest rages
Here let passion sleep:
Here may prayer and praises
Never cease to rise,
Till, through Christ, they raise us
Nearer to the skies.
3 Here may faith attending
Find fruition fair;
Here may spirits bending
Breathe the breath of prayer:
Here may holy gladness
Fill the waiting heart,
Until sin and sadness
Evermore depart.
4 Here may every token
Of thy presence be,
Here may chains be broken,
Prisoners here set free:
Here may light illumine
Every soul of Thine,
Lifting up the human
Unto the divine.
5 Here may God the Father,
God the Saviour, Son,
God the Holy Spirit,
Be adored as One;
Till the whole creation
At Thy footstool fall,
And in adoration
Own Thee Lord of all.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: PITTS

For Thee this house of praise we rear;
To Thee with longing hearts we turn:
Come, fix Thy glorious presence here.
3 Come, with Thy Spirit and Thy power,
The Conqueror, once the Crucified;
Our God, our Strength, our King, our Tower,
Here plant Thy throne, and here abide.
4 Accept the work our hands have wrought;
Accept, O God, this earthly shrine;
Be Thou our Rock, our Life, our Thought,
And we, as living temples, Thine.

Nor let His mercies lie
Forgotten in unthankfulness,
And without praises die.

'Tis He relieves thy pain;
'Tis He that heals thy sicknesses,
And makes thee strength again.
4 He crowns thy life with love,
When ransomed from the grave.
He that redeemed my soul from death
Hath sovereign power to save.
5 He fills the poor with good;
He gives the sufferers rest;
The Lord hath judgments for the proud,
And justice for the opprest.
6 His wondrous works and ways
He made by Moses known,
But sent the world His truth and grace
By His belovèd Son.
Amen. Scripture: John 1:17 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. THOMAS

All Things Are Thine; No Gift Have We
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Hymnal: The Hymnbook #313 (1955) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Dedication Services Of a Church First Line: All things are Thine: no gift have we Lyrics: 1 All things are Thine; no gift have we,
Lord of all gifts, to offer Thee;
And hence with grateful hearts today
Thine own before Thy feet we lay.
2 Thy will was in the builders' thought;
Thy hand unseen amidst us wrought;
Through mortal motive, scheme, and plan,
Thy wise eternal purpose ran.
3 In weakness and in want we call
On Thee for whom the heavens are small;
Thy glory is Thy children's good,
Thy joy Thy tender Fatherhood.
4 O Father, deign these walls to bless;
Fill with Thy love their emptiness;
And let their door a gateway be
To lead us from ourselves to Thee.
