Dedication

Verse 1

And wilt thou, O eternal God, On earth establish thine abode? Then look propitious from thy throne, And take this temple for thine own.

Verse 2

These walls we to thy honor raise; Long may they echo with thy praise; And thou, descending, fill the place With choicest tokens of thy grace.

Verse 3

Here let the great Redeemer reign, With all the graces of his train; While power divine his word attends, To conquer foes, and cheer his friends.

Verse 4

And in the great decisive day, When God the nations shall survey, May it before the world appear That souls were born to glory here.
