Builder of mighty worlds on worlds

Author: Anon. Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Builder of mighty worlds on worlds, How poor the house must be, That with our human, sinful hands We may erect to thee! 2 O Christ, thou art our Corner-stone; On thee our hearts are built; Thou art our Lord, our Light, our Life, Our Sacrifice for guilt. 3 In thy blest name we gather here, And set apart the ground; The walls that on this rock shall rise, Thy praises shall resound.

Though angels bright escape our sight

Author: Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Though angels bright escape our sight, Unheard their songs are sung, They hover 'round us day and night, These earthly mists among. 2 Amid the snares, amid the cares That danger brings each day, Our Lord an angel band prepares To guide us on our way. 3 With malice fell the prince of hell Would fain the Church o'erthrow, But holy angels guard it well, And put to shame the foe. 4 This mercy shown, O Lord, we own: To Thee our thanks we bring; And with the angels 'round Thy throne Would endless praises sing.

Not For The Prophet Tongue Of Fire

Author: Henry Bacon Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Not for the prophet tongue of fire, Nor voice of trumpet tone, We lift our prayer, immortal Sire, For him before Thy throne. 2 We ask for wisdom’s gifts and grace, The heart alive to love, The earnest zeal to save our race, All selfish aims above. 3 Lord, bless him now! by holy rite, We consecrate to Thee! Make to his eye the chief delight Christ’s prospering work to see. 4 Bold let him be for truth and man, For God and righteousness! Free let him speak the Gospel plan, And the whole truth confess. 5 Be cloud and fire about his way, Till Canaan’s land is trod! Then o’er his grave Thy Church shall say, He led us to our God!
