The house we consecrate this day:
And let Thy glory fill this place—
The glory of Thy truth and grace.
2 Here give us e'er such servants, Lord,
As rightly will divide Thy Word;
That all may grow, by what they hear,
In saving grace and holy fear.
3 Here too baptize Thou those, and bless,
Who plead Thy cov'nant promises,
To us and to our children given,
And with us make them heirs of heaven.
4 Here let Thy tender lambs be fed,
Yea, fed with Thine own living bread;
To hear Thy voice let them be taught,
And from Thy fold to wander not.
5 Here let Thy holy Sacrament
According to Thy Word be spent;
And grant that all indeed believe,
Who here the heavenly food receive.
6 O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Here bless us as we need it most!
Our prayer and praise accept in love,
And fit us for our home above. Used With Tune: RETREAT
