Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Dedication of a Church Lyrics: 1 Eternal Son of God, O Thou, Before whom earth and heaven bow, Regard Thy people as they raise To Thee their songs of prayer and praise. 2 This house they dedicate to Thee, That here they may Thy glory see, Thy body and Thy blood they here Receive, their fainting souls to cheer. 3 Here in baptismal water pure They find for sins a gracious cure; Their children here to Thee they bring, O Thou our death-subduing King. 4 Here sin's diseases healing find, The weak grow strong, light cheers the blind; The troubled heart with peace is blest, And weariness finds heavenly rest. 5 When tempests shake the world around, The rock-built Church secure is found; The gates of hell may here assail Whom Christ defends, but not prevail. 6 To God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit, Three in One, Be praise: do Thou, whom we adore, Teach us to praise Thee evermore.
