In weakness and in want, we call on thee for whom the heavens are small; thy glory is thy children's good, thy joy fulfilled in servanthood. 3 All things are thine; no gift have we, Lord of all gifts, to offer thee; and so with grateful hearts today thine own before thy feet we lay. Come now and 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.

They Did Not Build in Vain

Author: Alan Luff (1928-) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 8:22-30 Lyrics: 1 They did not build in vain who founded here a church as witness to God's love amid a world of pain, for still, to those who wish to see, this place proclaims God's mystery. 2 They built upon the rock that is the risen Lord, the one foundation laid which stands each earthly shock; that, Spirit filled, we here might raise, as living temples, prayer and praise. 3 Those who have loved this place, a cloud of witnesses, surround and urge us on as we now run our race, and so we lay aside each sin in our desire to strive and win. 4 Though the horizon's bend conceals the way ahead, the footprints on the road show Christ waits at the end; in him alone our faith shall stand who waits for us at God's right hand. 5 In every place our world is storm and tempest tossed; the flames of fear and hate are evil's flags unfurled; yet still the Spirit's wind and fire pour gifts for service in this hour. 6 Here is our meeting place, where doubt finds grounds of faith; where hurt finds healing love, our penitence your grace; where bridging time to eternity is God the holy Trinity.

We Built a Sanctuary Sure

Author: Harold Humbert Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 8:22-30 Lyrics: 1 We built a sanctuary sure; it stands on sacred sod. A church erected to endure, the temple of our God. We come to worship in this place with aspiration high; it is the consecrated place, where God himself draws nigh. 2 The church is God’s abiding place, his altar is within, and here by faith we see God’s face, are cleansed from stain of sin. A sanctuary for the soul, where love can cast our fear, where broken spirits are made whole, for God himself is here. 3 Around Christ’s table we commune in fellowship supreme; inspired by Christ, through word and tune, of things divine we dream. Forth from this sacred place we go with challenge in each soul to love, to lift, to build, to grow. God’s kingdom is our goal.

Arouse our lagging spirits, enflame our hearts with joy: here let a love be kindled that death cannot destroy. 3 O Christ, who cleansed the temple, baptize us with your zeal, and teach us your compassion to love, forgive, and heal.

O Jesus, fra det Høie

Author: Ludv. M. Bjørn Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 8:15-62 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, fra det Høie Hid vende du dit Fjed, Lad Naade for dit Øie Ske vort Forsamlingsted. O, Herre, kom at tage Dit Sæde i vor Kreds, Da krones vore Dage, Da er vi fuldt tilfreds. 2 Ei Sten paa Sten der findes Af Zions Tempels Pragt, Ak, vel vi alle mindes Hin Naadetids Foragt! Ak, du vort Hjerte drage ved Ordets tille Magt, At aldrig vi skal tabe Vor Daabes dyre Pagt! 3 O Herre, vær vor Styrke, Led os paa rette Sti, Lær os dig ret at dyrke, lad Trængsel gaa forbi. Her ved dit Huses Tærskel, Der slaa vi os til Ro, Herfra til Livets Færdsel Gaa vi med styrket Tro! 4 Mit Hjerte, det skal sjunge Til Herrens Miskunds Pirs, Min Røst skal høres runge Til Herrens paradis! Thi Ynk for os sig rørte I Herrens milde Sind; Fra fremmed Sti han førte Os til Gudsfolket ind! 5 Se, Porten nu er aaben, O Brødre, Søstre kom! Ak, hører Jesu naaden Fra Himlens Helligdom; Ei Nogen staa tilbage, Men fly fra VredensDom, Du Stærke, støt den Svage, Og begge sammen kom! 6 Med Lov og Tak vi mindes, Du Frelser, for os bad, At Intet maatte findes, Som skiller Hjerter ad! Kom, Haand i Haand vi vandre Den store Pilgrimsgang, Indtil vi med hverandre Istemme Lammets Sang. 7 O, snart, o snart han kommer, Vor Sjæles Brudgom hid Og gjør en liflig Sommer, Af al vor Nød og Strid. Med Jubel vi da ile Ad Perleporten skjøn, Hos Gud vi finde Hvile I Huset hos hans Søn!
