And thus proclaim in joyful song, Both loud and long, that glorious Name. 3 Here, gracious God, do Thou For evermore draw nigh; Accept each faithful vow, And mark each suppliant sigh; In copious shower, on all who pray, Each holy day Thy blessings pour. 4 Here may we gain from heaven The grace which we implore, And may that grace once given, Be with us evermore, Until that day when all the blest To endless rest are called away. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: CROFT

Maker and Builder Thou, of all Around us and above, 314 On Thine Almighty Name we call To crown our work of love. If, moved by Thee, in dust we lay A true foundation here, Though heaven and earth must pass away, Thy counsel shall appear. An earthly temple to Thy praise, Our labouring hands would pile; Do Thou a spiritual temple raise, Within its walls, the while. Of living stones that temple frame, Founded on Christ alone, Inscribed with His exalted name, By all men read and known. From thence, as time and tide roll by, May ransom'd souls ascend, Safe in their Father's home on high, Eternity to spend. Languages: English

He slumbers not, nor sleeps, Who His loved Israel keeps, Hallelunah! Happy the race Who through God's grace Shall have in her their dwelling place! 2 Zion's gates Jehovah loveth, And with especial grace approveth; He maketh fast her bolts and bars; Those who dwell in her He blesses, And comforts them in their distresses Who cast on Him their griefs and cares. How wonderful the grace With which He doth embrace All His people! City of God, How sweet the abode On which such blessings are bestowed! 3 Taught in thee is a salvation Unknown to every other nation; There great and holy things are heard; In the midst of thee abiding, Enlightening, comforting, and guiding, Thou hast the Spirit and the word; There breathing peace around Is heard the joyful sound, Grace and mercy! How sweet that is Which here speaks peace, There crowns with everlasting bliss. 4 Mother thou of every nation Which here hath sought and found salvation, O Zion, yet on earth shalt be: Hark, what shouts the air are rending? What cries to heaven's gates ascending! All our fresh springs shall be in thee. From thee the waters burst, To slake our burning thirst, Hallelujah! From sin and death God's own word saith That He alone delivereth. Tune Title: [By the holy hills surrounded]
