Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ is the foundation Of the house we raise; Be its walls salvation, And its gateways praise. May its threshold lowly To the Lord be dear, May the hearts be holy That shall worship here. 2 On the Rock of Ages, Resting broad and deep, When life's tempest rages Here let passion sleep: Here may prayer and praises Never cease to rise, Till, through Christ, they raise us Nearer to the skies. 3 Here may faith attending Find fruition fair; Here may spirits bending Breathe the breath of prayer: Here may holy gladness Fill the waiting heart, Until sin and sadness Evermore depart. 4 Here may every token Of thy presence be, Here may chains be broken, Prisoners here set free: Here may light illumine Every soul of Thine, Lifting up the human Unto the divine. 5 Here may God the Father, God the Saviour, Son, God the Holy Spirit, Be adored as One; Till the whole creation At Thy footstool fall, And in adoration Own Thee Lord of all. Amen. Topics: The Church Dedication; Epiphany, First Sunday; Church, Dedications; Church, Corner-stone laying; Laying of Corner-Stone Used With Tune: PITTS

Lead Us, Heavenly Father (Herford)

Author: Brooke Herford Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Lead us, heavenly Father Lyrics: 1. Lead us, heavenly Father, In our opening way, Lead us in the morning Of our little day. While our hearts are happy, While our souls are free, May we give our childhood As a song to Thee. 2. Lead us, heavenly Father, As the way grows long, Be our strong salvation, Be our joyous song. Gladdened by Thy mercies, Chastened by Thy rod, May we walk through all things Humbly with our God. 3. Lead us, heavenly Father, By Thy voices clear— Through Thy prophets holy, Through Thy Son so dear— Him who took the children In His arms of love; May we all be gathered In His home above.
