Christ is our corner-stone

Author: John Chandler (1806-76) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #940 (1986) Lyrics: 1 Christ is our corner-stone, On him alone we build; With his true saints alone The courts of Heaven are filled. Our hopes we place on his great love For present grace and joys above. 2 O then with songs of praise Make earth and Heaven ring; Our voices we will raise The Three in One to sing; In joyful song we will proclaim 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; On all who pray, in copious shower Thy wonder-working 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 Shall find in thee eternal rest.

Lord of Heaven and earth and sea

Author: Frank Samuel Turney (1863-1932) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #941 (1986) Lyrics: 1 Lord of Heaven and earth and sea, We would render thanks to thee For the blessing thou hast given, Joys of earth and hopes of Heaven. Grateful for thy loving care, We have built this house of prayer, And with hearts sincere, we pray For thy presence here this day. 2 Help us, Lord, each one to be Consecrated unto thee; Make each heart a living stone In a temple all thine own. Holy Spirit, fill this place With thy pentecostal grace; Dwell with us, and from this hour Manifest thy mighty power. 3 Generations yet to be In this house may worship thee; Work, which now we gladly share, Will be then in other care. Grant, O Lord, whate’er may be, That thy word, from error free, May be cherished, true and pure, While this fabric shall endure. Topics: Special occasions New buildings Languages: English

O God, in whom alone is found

Author: Henry Ware (1794-1843) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #942 (1986) Lyrics: 1 O God, in whom alone is found The strength by which all toil is blest, Upon this consecrated ground Now bid thy cloud of glory rest. 2 In thy great name we place this stone; To thy great truth these walls we rear; Long may they make thy glory known, And long our Saviour triumph here. 3 And while thy sons, from earth apart, Here seek the truth from Heaven that sprung, Fill with thy Spirit every heart, With living fire touch every tongue. 4 Lord, grant our souls thy peace and love; Let sin and error pass away, Till truth’s full influence from above Rejoice the earth with cloudless day.

O God of love eternal

Author: Maureen Jarvis Hymnal: SBSA1986 #943 (1986) Lyrics: 1 O God of love eternal, Be present here we pray, Accept the gift we offer This celebration day, Make of this place your temple, Let all who enter here Be one with us in purpose, Your love and joy to share. 2 Except you build the house, Lord, Our work is all in vain, Except your Spirit fill it But blocks of stone remain; But if our hearts are open And you in power come down, The glory of your presence Will all our labours crown. 3 Here may the lost find refuge, The striving saint find grace; Let youth obey your calling And children see your face; May every word here spoken Direct men to your throne, And every note of music Be for your praise alone. 4 Then sanctify, our Father, This offering we have made, Here let your Son be honoured, Your Spirit be obeyed; Our lives be cleansed for service In Christ’s atoning blood, And every true believer Become the house of God.

This stone to thee in faith we lay

Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #945 (1986) Lyrics: 1 This stone to thee in faith we lay; To thee this temple, Lord, we build; Thy power and goodness here display, And be it with thy presence filled. 2 Here, when thy people seek thy face, And dying sinners pray to live, Hear thou in Heaven, thy dwelling-place, And when thou hearest, Lord, forgive. 3 Here, when thy messengers proclaim The blessèd gospel of thy Son, Still, by the power of his great name, Be mighty signs and wonders done. 4 Thy glory never hence depart; Yet choose not, Lord, this house alone; Thy Kingdom come to every heart, In every nation fix thy throne.

O God of love, to thee we bow

Author: William Vaughan Jenkins (1868-1920) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #947 (1986) Lyrics: 1 O God of love, to thee we bow, And pray for these before thee now, That, closely knit in holy vow, They may in thee be one. 2 When days are filled with pure delight, When paths are plain and skies are bright, Walking by faith and not by sight, May they in thee be one. 3 When stormy winds fulfil thy will, And all their good seems turned to ill, Then, trusting thee completely, still May they in thee be one. 4 Whate’er in life shall be their share Of quickening joy or burdening care, In power to do and grace to bear, May they in thee be one.

O Perfect Love, all human thought transcending

Author: Dorothy Frances Gurney (1858-1932) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #948 (1986) Lyrics: 1 O Perfect Love, all human thought transcending, Lowly we kneel in prayer before thy throne, That theirs may be the love which knows no ending, Throughout their life divinely joined in one. 2 O perfect Life, be thou their full assurance Of tender charity and steadfast faith, Of patient hope, and quiet brave endurance, With childlike trust that fears nor pain nor death. 3 Grant them the joy which brightens earthly sorrow, Grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife; And to life’s day the glorious unknown morrow That dawns upon eternal love and life.

The voice that breathed o'er Eden

Author: John Keble (1792-1866) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #949 (1986) Lyrics: 1 The voice that breathed o’er Eden, That earliest wedding day, The primal marriage blessing, It hath not passed away. 2 Be present, gracious Saviour, To join their loving hands, As thou didst bind two natures In thine eternal bands. 3 O spread thy pure wing o’er them! Let no ill power find place, When onward through life’s journey The hallowed path they trace. 4 Till to the home of gladness, With Christ’s own bride they rise, And cast their crowns before thee In endless Paradise.
