Author: Charles D. Bell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #696 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Be with us, gracious Lord, today;
This house we dedicate to Thee;
O hear Thy servants as they pray,
And let Thine ear attentive be!
2. Within these walls let holy peace,
Let love and truth be always found;
May burdened hearts and sweet release,
And souls with richest grace be crowned.
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 blessed.
4. Here when the Gospel sound is heard,
And here proclaimed the saving name,
May hearts be quickened, moved and stirred,
And souls be kindled into flame.
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.
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 Heav’n. Languages: English Tune Title: ANTWERP

Bell Author of "Be with Us, Gracious Lord" in Gospel Melodies and Evangelistic Hymns Bell, Charles Dent, D.D., son of Henry Humphrey Bell, born at Warwick Lodge, Magherafelt, Ireland, on 10th February, 1818, and educated at the Royal Academy, Edinburgh, and the Royal School, Dungannon, and Trinity College, Dublin, graduating B.A., 1842, M.A., 1852, and D.D., 1878. Having taken Holy Orders, he was successively Curate of Hampton in Arden, and St. Mary's Chapel, Reading, and of St. Mary-in-the-Castle, Hastings, 1846; Incumbent of St. John's Chapel, Hampstead, 1854; Vicar of Ambleside, 1861; with Rydal, 1872; and Rector of Cheltenham, 1872.

Dr. Bell's works include Night Scenes from the Bible, 1861; Hills that bring Peace, 1872; The Saintly Calling, 1873; Voices from the Lakes, 1877; Songs in the Twilight, 1881; Hymns for the Church and the Chamber, 1882; Songs in Many Keys, 1884; and for the Religious Tract Society, Angelic Beings, and their Nature and Ministry. He has also edited an Appendix to Dr. Walker's Cheltenham Psalms and Hymns, in 1873 (5th ed. 1878). To this Appendix were contributed:—
1. Another Sabbath closes. Sunday Evening.
2. Be near us, Triune God, we pray. Matrimony.

These hymns being of recent date are not found, save in one or two instances, in any other collection than Dr. Bell's Appendix to Dr. Walker's Psalms & Hymns, and his Appendix to the Hymnal Companion noted below. With the exception of Nos. 14 and 16, the above were republished in Dr. Bell's Hymns for Church and Chamber, Lond., J. Nisbet & Co., 1882. This work also contains other hymns of merit, and should be consulted in preparing a Collection for congregational or private use. In 1884, Dr. Bell added an Appendix Selected for the Use of Cheltenham Churches to the Hymnal Companion, in which he embodied the hymns given in his former Appendix, and added thereto the fol¬lowing hymns from his Hymns for the Church & Chamber:—
17. Great God, Thy people's dwelling-place. The New Year.
18. He giveth His beloved sleep. Safety during Sleep.
19. O Lamb of God, Who died our souls to win. Peace with God desired.
20. O Saviour Christ, enthroned at God's light hand. Christ the Anointed One.
21. Rest in the Lord. Oh, words of love. Exhortation to trust in God.
