Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1128 (1886) Lyrics: 1 All things are thine; no gift have we,
Lord of all gifts! to offer thee;
And hence, with grateful hearts to-day,
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 No lack thy perfect fullness knew;
For human needs and longings grew
This house of prayer this home of rest:
Here may thy saints be often blessed.
4 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.
5 O Father! deign these walls to bless,
Make this the abode of righteousness,
And let these doors a gateway be
To lead us from ourselves to thee. Topics: The Church Dedication; The Church Dedication Tune Title: WARE
