Spirit divine, attend our prayers

Author: A. Reed Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 396 hymnals Topics: Consecration of Churches Lyrics: 1 Spirit divine, attend our prayers, And make this house Thy home; Descend with all Thy gracious powers, Oh, come, great Spirit, come! 2 Come as the light; to us reveal Our emptiness and woe: And lead us in those paths of life Where all the righteous go. 3 Come as the fire, and purge our hearts Like sacrificial flame; Let our whole soul an offering be To our Redeemer's Name. 4 Come as the dove, and spread Thy wings, The wings of peaceful love; And let Thy Church on earth become Blest as Thy Church above. 5 Spirit divine, attend our prayers; Make a lost world Thy home; Descend with all Thy gracious powers, Oh, come, great Spirit, come! Amen. Used With Tune: NOX PRAECESSIT

Jesu! where'er Thy people meet

Author: W. Cowper Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 518 hymnals Topics: Consecration of Churches Lyrics: 1 Jesu! where'er Thy people meet, There they behold Thy mercy-seat; Where'er they seek Thee, Thou art found, And ev'ry place is hallowed ground. 2 And since within no walls confined, Thou dwellest in the humble mind: Let all within Thy house who come, Departing, take Thee to their home. 3 Yet everywhere Thou guid'st Thine own To raise for Thee an earthly throne; And where Thy Name Thou dost record, There Thou wilt come and bless them, Lord! [4* Behold at Thy commanding word, We stretch the curtain and the cord; Come Thou and fill this wider space, And bless us with a large increase.] 5 Great Shepherd of Thy chosen few, Thy former mercies here renew; And here to wayward hearts proclaim The sweetness of Thy saving Name! 6 Here may we prove the might of prayer, To strengthen faith and sweeten care: To teach our faint desires to rise, And bring all heaven before our eyes! 7 Here to the babe new-born on earth, Grant Thou the newer, better birth; By water and the Holy Ghost Restoring all that Adam lost. 8 Here to the weary, hungry, soul, Give Thou the gift that maketh whole; The bread that is Christ's flesh, for food, The wine that is the Saviour's blood. 9 Lord, we are few, but Thou art near; Nor short Thine arm, nor deaf Thine ear; Oh, rend the heavens, come quickly down, And make a thousand hearts Thine own! Amen. * For enlargement of the Church Used With Tune: HEBRON

Francis Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Topics: Consecration of Churches Lyrics: 1 In loud exalted strains, The King of glory praise; O'er heaven and earth He reigns, Thro' everlasting days; But Sion, with His presence blest, In His delight, His chosen rest. 2 O King of glory, come; And with Thy favor crown This temple as Thy home, This people as Thy own; Beneath this roof vouchsafe to show How God can dwell with men below. 3 Now let Thine ear attend Our supplicating cries; Now let our praise ascend, Accepted, to the skies: Now let Thy Gospel's joyful sound Spread its celestial influence round. 4 Here may the listening throng Imbibe Thy truth and love; Here Christians join the song Of seraphim above: Till all who humbly seek Thy face Rejoice in Thy abounding grace. Amen. Used With Tune: [In loud exalted strains]

We love the place, O God

Author: Dr. Wm. Bullock Appears in 105 hymnals Topics: Consecration of Churches Lyrics: 1 We love the place, O God, Wherein Thine honor dwells; The joy of Thine abode All other joys excels. 2 We love the house of prayer, Wherein Thy servants meet; For Thou, O Lord, art there Thy chosen ones to greet. 3 We love the sacred font, Wherein the holy Dove Bestows, as ever wont, His blessing from above. 4 We love Thine altar,Lord, Its mysteries revere; For there in faith adored, We find Thy presence near. 5 We love Thy holy word, The lamp Thou gav'st to guide All wanderers home, O Lord, Home to their Father's side. 6 Then let us sing the love To us so freely given, Until we sing above The triumph-song of heaven! Amen. Used With Tune: [We love the place, O God]
