| 1 O God, whom we as Father know, Within these courts Thy presence show; Reveal Thy name immortal. How wondrous pleasant is this place, For here we find the God of grace, And here is heaven's portal! So now come Thou, Pardon sinners, Make us winners Of salvation, O Thou God of all creation! 2 Lord Jesus, Son of God, to Thee This house shall consecrated be; Behold it, then, with pleasure. Let here Thy living Word resound And blessings manifold abound-- Peace, joy in fullest measure. Grant, Lord, concord, Rule, O Savior, Our behavior; Thee possessing, May we lose all fear distressing. 3 O Holy Spirit, precious Light, Pray turn to us Thy visage bright, That we may shine in splendor. Thy holy fire on us descend And warm our hearts to this good end, That service true we render. Thro' Thee may we, Parents, teachers, Laymen, preachers, All united, Be to noble deeds incited. 4 Thou Triune God, thanks, honor, praise To Thee be sung in tuneful lays Within this sacred dwelling. We prize it as a gift divine And dedicate to Thee this shrine, Who art in grace excelling. To Thee sing we Creatures lowly, God most holy, While we wander, Till we reach Thy house up yonder. | American Lutheran Hymnal #512 (1930) |
