We Built a Sanctuary Sure

Author: Harold Humbert Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Special Occasions 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. Scripture: 1 Samuel 7:12 Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN

Come, feed Thy congregation. We own the doctrine of Thy cross To be our sole foundation; Accept from every one of us The deepest adoration. 2 O Thou, the Church’s Head and Lord, Who as a Shepherd leadest Thy flock, and richly with Thy Word And sacrament us feedest, What shall we say? Lost in amaze, Our hearts bow down before Thee; For none sufficiently can praise, Love, honor, or adore Thee. 3 Lord Jesus, for our call of grace, To praise Thy Name in fellowship We humbly meet before Thy face And in Thy presence love-feast keep. Shed in our hearts Thy love abroad, Thy spirit’s unction now impart; Grant we may all, O Lamb of God, In Thee be truly one in heart. Used With Tune: PILGRIMAGE Text Sources: M. tr., 1789

God is here! As we his people

Author: F. Pratt Green (born 1903) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: God's Church Anniversary, Special Occasions Lyrics: 1 God is here! As we his people meet to offer praise and prayer, may we find in fuller measure what it is in Christ we share; here, as in the world around us, all our varied skills and arts wait the coming of his Spirit into open minds and hearts. 2 Here are symbols to remind us of our lifelong need of grace; here are table, font and pulpit, here the cross has central place. here in honesty of preaching, here in silence as in speech, here in newness and renewal God the Spirit comes to each. 3 Here our children find a welcome in the Shepherd's flock and fold; here, as bread and wine are taken, Christ sustains us as of old; here the servants of the Servant seek in worship to explore what it means in daily living to believe and to adore. 4 Lord of all, of church and kingdom, in an age of change and doubt, keep us faithful to the gospel, help us work your purpose out: here, in this day's celebration, all we have to give, receive: we who cannot live without you, we adore you! we believe!
