We, the Lord's People
They Did Not Build in Vain
Author: Alan Luff (1928-) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 8:22-30 Lyrics: 1 They did not build in vain
who founded here a church
as witness to God's love
amid a world of pain,
for still, to those who wish to see,
this place proclaims God's mystery.
2 They built upon the rock
that is the risen Lord,
the one foundation laid
which stands each earthly shock;
that, Spirit filled, we here might raise,
as living temples, prayer and praise.
3 Those who have loved this place,
a cloud of witnesses,
surround and urge us on
as we now run our race,
and so we lay aside each sin
in our desire to strive and win.
4 Though the horizon's bend
conceals the way ahead,
the footprints on the road
show Christ waits at the end;
in him alone our faith shall stand
who waits for us at God's right hand.
5 In every place our world
is storm and tempest tossed;
the flames of fear and hate
are evil's flags unfurled;
yet still the Spirit's wind and fire
pour gifts for service in this hour.
6 Here is our meeting place,
where doubt finds grounds of faith;
where hurt finds healing love,
our penitence your grace;
where bridging time to eternity
is God the holy Trinity. Topics: Aniversary of Parish/Church; Church Used With Tune: LITTLE CORNARD
They Did Not Build in Vain
We Built a Sanctuary Sure
Author: Harold Humbert Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 8:22-30 Lyrics: 1 We built a sanctuary sure;
it stands on sacred sod.
A church erected to endure,
the temple of our God.
We come to worship in this place
with aspiration high;
it is the consecrated place,
where God himself draws nigh.
2 The church is God’s abiding place,
his altar is within,
and here by faith we see God’s face,
are cleansed from stain of sin.
A sanctuary for the soul,
where love can cast our fear,
where broken spirits are made whole,
for God himself is here.
3 Around Christ’s table we commune
in fellowship supreme;
inspired by Christ, through word and tune,
of things divine we dream.
Forth from this sacred place we go
with challenge in each soul
to love, to lift, to build, to grow.
God’s kingdom is our goal. Topics: Special Occasions; Church--Dedication of a building; God--Protection by; Holy Communion; Worship Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN

O God of Font and Altar
Author: Carl Daw, Jr. (1944-) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 8:22-30 Lyrics: 1 O God of font and altar,
of music, grandeur, light;
toward whom the soaring arches
aspire beyond their height:
as beauty draws us to you
within this house of prayer,
let worship form and feed us
to help us show your care.
2 O life-bestowing Spirit,
inspire this hallowed space;
breathe through us with new fervor
and fill us with your grace.
Arouse our lagging spirits,
enflame our hearts with joy:
here let a love be kindled
that death cannot destroy.
3 O Christ, who cleansed the temple,
baptize us with your zeal,
and teach us your compassion
to love, forgive, and heal.
Be in our midst to claim us
and mark us as your own,
then send us forth in witness
to make your mercy known. Topics: Praise of God; Baptism (general) Used With Tune: KING'S LYNN

O Jesus, fra det Høie
Author: Ludv. M. Bjørn Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 8:15-62 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, fra det Høie
Hid vende du dit Fjed,
Lad Naade for dit Øie
Ske vort Forsamlingsted.
O, Herre, kom at tage
Dit Sæde i vor Kreds,
Da krones vore Dage,
Da er vi fuldt tilfreds.
2 Ei Sten paa Sten der findes
Af Zions Tempels Pragt,
Ak, vel vi alle mindes
Hin Naadetids Foragt!
Ak, du vort Hjerte drage
ved Ordets tille Magt,
At aldrig vi skal tabe
Vor Daabes dyre Pagt!
3 O Herre, vær vor Styrke,
Led os paa rette Sti,
Lær os dig ret at dyrke,
lad Trængsel gaa forbi.
Her ved dit Huses Tærskel,
Der slaa vi os til Ro,
Herfra til Livets Færdsel
Gaa vi med styrket Tro!
4 Mit Hjerte, det skal sjunge
Til Herrens Miskunds Pirs,
Min Røst skal høres runge
Til Herrens paradis!
Thi Ynk for os sig rørte
I Herrens milde Sind;
Fra fremmed Sti han førte
Os til Gudsfolket ind!
5 Se, Porten nu er aaben,
O Brødre, Søstre kom!
Ak, hører Jesu naaden
Fra Himlens Helligdom;
Ei Nogen staa tilbage,
Men fly fra VredensDom,
Du Stærke, støt den Svage,
Og begge sammen kom!
6 Med Lov og Tak vi mindes,
Du Frelser, for os bad,
At Intet maatte findes,
Som skiller Hjerter ad!
Kom, Haand i Haand vi vandre
Den store Pilgrimsgang,
Indtil vi med hverandre
Istemme Lammets Sang.
7 O, snart, o snart han kommer,
Vor Sjæles Brudgom hid
Og gjør en liflig Sommer,
Af al vor Nød og Strid.
Med Jubel vi da ile
Ad Perleporten skjøn,
Hos Gud vi finde Hvile
I Huset hos hans Søn!
