In the Name which Earth and Heaven

Author: John Ellerton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: Special Occasions Corner-Stone Laying Lyrics: 1 In the name which earth and heaven Ever worship, praise, and fear, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Shall a house be builded here, Here with prayer its deep foundations, In the faith of Christ, did lay, Trusting by His help to crown it, With the top-stone in its day. 2 Here as in their due succession Stone on stone the men did place. Thus, we pray, unseen, but surely, Jesus, build us up in grace, Till, as in these walls completed, We complete in Thee are found And to Thee, the one Foundation, Strong and living stones, are bound. 3 Fair shall be Thine earthly temple: Here the careless passer-by Shall bethink him, in its beauty, Of the holier house on high. Weary hearts and troubled spirits Here shall find a still retreat; Sinful souls shall bring their burden Here to the Absolver's feet. 4 Yet with truer, nobler beauty, Lord, we pray, this house adorn, Where Thy Bride, Thy Church redeemèd, Robes her for her marriage morn; Clothed in garments of salvation, Rich with gems of heavenly grace, Spouse of Christ, arrayed and waiting Till she may behold His face. 5 Here in due and solemn order Shall her ceaseless prayer arise; Here shall strains of holy gladness Lift her heart above the skies; Here the Word of Life be spoken; Here the child of God be sealed; Here the Bread of Heaven be broken, "Till He come," Himself revealed. 6 Praise to Thee, O Master Builder, Maker of the earth and skies; Praise to Thee, in whom Thy temple Fitly framed together, lies; Praise to Thee, eternal Spirit, Binding all that lives in one Till our earthly praise be ended And th'eternal song begun! Amen. Scripture: 2 Chronicles 6:20 Used With Tune: O DU LIEBE

Built on the precious Cornerstone. 3 Endue the creatures with Thy grace That shall adorn Thy dwelling-place. The beauty of the oak and pine, The gold and silver, make them Thine. 4 To Thee they all belong, to Thee The treasures of the earth and sea; And when we bring them to Thy throne, We but present Thee with Thine own. 5 The heads that guide endue with skill, The hands that work preserve from ill, That we who these foundations lay May raise the top-stone in its day. 6 Both now and ever, Lord, protect The temple of Thine own elect; Be Thou in them, and they in Thee, O ever-blessed Trinity!

One Thy Light, the Temple Filling

Author: John Keble Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Special Occasions Theological Institutions Lyrics: 1 One Thy Light, the Temple filling, Holy, Holy, Holy, Three! Meanest men and brightest angels Wait alike the word from Thee; Highest musings, lowliest worship, Must their preparation be. 2 Now Thou speakest,--hear we trembling,-- From the glory comes a voice, Who accepts th'Almighty's mission? Who will make Christ's work his choice? Who for us proclaim to sinners, Turn, believe, endure, rejoice? 3 Here are we, Redeemer, send us! But because Thy work is fire And our lips unclean and earthly, Breathe no breath of high desire, Send Thy seraph from the altar, Veiled, but in his bright attire. 4 Cause him, Lord, to fly full swiftly With the mystic coal in hand, Sin-consuming; soul-transforming Faith and love will understand. Touch our lips, Thou wondrous Mercy, With Thine own keen healing brand. 5 Thou didst come that fire to kindle; Fain would we Thy torches prove, Far and wide Thy beacons lighting With th'undying spark of love. Only feed our flame, we pray Thee, With Thy breathings from above. 6 Now to God, the soul's Creator, To His Word and Wisdom sure, To His all-enlightening Spirit, Patron of the frail and poor, Three in One, be praise and glory Here and while the heavens endure. Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 6:8 Used With Tune: REGENT SQUARE
