And wilt thou, O eternal God
Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1131 (1886) Topics: The Church Dedication Lyrics: 1 And wilt thou, O eternal God,
On earth establish thine abode?
Then look propitious from thy throne,
And take this temple for thine own.
2 These walls we to thy honor raise;
Long may they echo with thy praise;
And thou, descending, fill the place
With choicest tokens of thy grace.
3 Here let the great Redeemer reign,
With all the graces of his train;
While power divine his word attends,
To conquer foes, and cheer his friends.
4 And in the great decisive day,
When God the nations shall survey,
May it before the world appear
That souls were born to glory here. Tune Title: WARE
And wilt thou, O eternal God
O bow thine ear, Eternal One!
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1132 (1886) Topics: The Church Dedication Lyrics: 1 O bow thine ear, Eternal One!
On thee each heart adoring calls;
To thee the followers of thy Son
Have raised, and now devote, these walls.
2 Here let thy holy days be kept;
And be this place to worship given,
Like that bright spot where Jacob slept,
The house of God, the gate of heaven.
3 Here may thine honor dwell; and here
As incense, let thy children's prayer,
From contrite hearts and lips sincere,
Rise on the still and holy air.
4 Here be thy praise devoutly sung,
Here let thy truth beam forth to save
As when of old thy Spirit hung
On wings of light o'er Jordan's wave. Tune Title: SAMSON
O bow thine ear, Eternal One!
The perfect world by Adam trod
Author: Benjamin Beddome Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1133 (1886) Topics: The Church Dedication Lyrics: 1 The perfect world by Adam trod
Was the first temple built by God;
His fiat laid the corner-stone,
And raised its pillars one by one.
2 He hung its starry roof on high
The broad expanse of azure sky;
He spread its pavement, green and bright,
And curtained it with morning light.
3 The mountains in their places stood,
The sea, the sky, and all "was good."
And when its first pure praises rang,
The "morning stars together sang."
4 Lord, 'tis not ours to make the sea
And earth and sky a house for thee;
But in thy sight our offering stands,
An humbler temple, "made with hands." Tune Title: SAMSON
The perfect world by Adam trod
This stone to thee, in faith, we lay
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1134 (1886) Topics: The Church Dedication Lyrics: 1 This stone to thee, in faith, we lay;
This temple, Lord, to thee we raise;
Thine eye be open night and day,
To guard this house of prayer and praise.
2 Within these walls let heavenly peace
And holy love and concord dwell;
Here give the burdened conscience ease,
And here the wounded spirit heal.
3 But will, indeed, Jehovah deign
Here to abide, no transient guest?
Here will our great Redeemer reign,
And here the Holy Spirit rest?
4 Ne'er let thy glory hence depart;
Yet choose not, Lord, this shrine alone;
Come thou and dwell in every heart,
In every bosom fix thy throne. Tune Title: SAMSON
This stone to thee, in faith, we lay
Here, in thy name, Eternal God
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1135 (1886) Topics: The Church Dedication Lyrics: 1 Here, in thy name, Eternal God,
We build this earthly house for thee;
O choose it for thy fixed abode,
And guard it long from error free.
2 When here, O Lord, we seek thy face,
And dying sinners pray to live,
Hear thou in heaven, thy dwelling-place;
And when thou hearest, Lord, forgive.
3 When here thy messengers proclaim
The blessed gospel of thy Son,
Still, by the power of his great name,
Be mighty signs and wonders done. Tune Title: SAMSON
Here, in thy name, Eternal God
God of the universe, to thee
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1136 (1886) Topics: The Church Dedication Lyrics: 1 God of the universe, to thee
These sacred walls we rear;
And now, with songs and bended knee,
Invoke thy presence here.
2 Here let thy love, thy presence dwell;
Thy glory here make known;
Thy people's home, O come and fill,
And seal it as thine own.
3 When sad with care, by sin oppressed,
Here may the burdened soul
Beneath thy sheltering wing find rest;
Here make the wounded whole.
4 And when the last long Sabbath morn
Upon the just shall rise,
May all who own thee here, be borne
To mansions in the skies. Tune Title: MARLOW
God of the universe, to thee
To thee this temple we devote
Author: J. R. Scott Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1137 (1886) Topics: The Church Dedication Lyrics: 1 To thee this temple we devote,
Our Father and our God;
Accept it thine, and seal it now
Thy Spirit's blest abode.
2 Here may the prayer of faith ascend,
The voice of praise arise;
And may each lowly service prove
Accepted sacrifice.
3 Here may the sinner learn his guilt,
And weep before His Lord;
Here, pardoned, sing a Saviour's love,
And here his vows record.
4 Peace be within these sacred walls;
Prosperity be here;
O smile upon thy people, Lord,
And evermore be near. Tune Title: MARLOW
To thee this temple we devote
Builder of mighty worlds on worlds
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1138 (1886) Topics: The Church Dedication Lyrics: 1 Builder of mighty worlds on worlds,
How poor the house must be,
That with our human, sinful hands
We may erect to thee!
2 O Christ, thou art our Corner-stone;
On thee our hearts are built;
Thou art our Lord, our Light, our Life,
Our Sacrifice for guilt.
3 In thy blest name we gather here,
And set apart the ground;
The walls that on this rock shall rise,
Thy praises shall resound. Tune Title: MARLOW
Builder of mighty worlds on worlds
O thou, whose own vast temple stands
Author: William Cullen Bryant Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1139 (1886) Topics: The Church Dedication Lyrics: 1 O thou, whose own vast temple stands,
Built over earth and sea,
Accept the walls that human hands
Have raised to worship thee.
2 Lord, from thine inmost glory send,
Within these courts to bide;
The peace that dwelleth without end
Serenely by thy side!
3 May erring minds that worship here
Be taught the better way;
And they who mourn and they who fear,
Be strengthened as they pray.
4 May faith grow firm, and love grow warm,
And pure devotion rise,
While round these hallowed walls the storm
Of earth-born passion dies. Tune Title: MARLOW
O thou, whose own vast temple stands
