GRH 610 Dedicatory Hymn

(1)
To Him who hallows all our days
Our souls in worship bend;
On joyful wing our songs of praise
And gratitude ascend:
This house we dedicate to Thee,
O Lord, this holy day;
And may its mission ever be
Thy glories to display.

(2)
A precious gem of Thy right hand,
A trophy of Thy grace,
Long may its walls in beauty stand,
For Thee a dwelling place:
And as the years shall come and go
On time’s unresting wing,
May hearts of stone here learn to glow,
And of Thy mercies sing.

(3)
And by Thy Spirit’s ministries,
May saints their joys renew,
And in the strength Thy grace supplies
Their heav’nly race pursue:
May faithful lips, with trumpet sound,
Thy gospel here proclaim,
Till tribes and tongues the world around
Shall praise Immanuel’s name.
