VERSE 1
Be with us, gracious Lord, to-day;
This house we dedicate to Thee:
O hear Thy servants as they pray,
And let Thine ear attentive be!
VERSE 2
Within these walls let holy peace,
Let love and truth be always found;
May burdened hearts find sweet release,
And souls with richest grace be crown'd.
VERSE 3
May here be heard the suppliant's sigh,
The weary enter into rest;
Here may the contrite to Thee cry,
And waiting souls be richly bless'd.
VERSE 4
Here, when the gospel sound is heard,
And here proclaimed the saving name,
May hearts be quicken'd, mov'd and stirr'd,
And souls be kindled into flame.
VERSE 5
Here may the dead be made to live,
The dumb to sing, the deaf to hear;
And do Thou to the humble give
Pardon and peace instead of fear.
VERSE 6
Make this, O Lord, Thine own abode;
Thy presence in these courts be giv'n;
Be this, indeed, the house of God,
And this in truth the gate of heaven.
