Hymn.

1. Lord God of hosts above,
Great Author of salvation,
We come before Thee now
In humble supplication:
Thou, who in ages past
Hast been our fathers’ Stay,
O hear Thy children’s cry,
Be with us as we pray.

2. Not unto us, O Lord,

To Thee alone all glory;
For in these massive walls
We read the wondrous story
Of blessings hundredfold ,
Bestowed with lavish hand,
Of merey and of truth
Poured out upon our land.

3. Bless Thou, O Lord, this house,
To Thee now consecrated,
For to Thy holy name
These halls are dedicated;
Thy Word alone shall guide
Our teaching and our life;
In Thee alone we stand
Secure in ev’ry strife.

4. O Father, bless us now
With pow’r in richest measure;
O Savior, Thou alone
Shalt be our highest Treasure
And with the Holy Ghost -

Be evermore adored,
The God of grace and truth,
The everlasting Lord.
