Dedication

And wilt thou, O eternal God,

On earth establish thine abode?

Then look propitious from thy throne,

And take this temple for thine own.

These walls we to thy honor raise;

Long may they echo with thy praise;

And thou, descending, fill the place

With choicest tokens of thy grace.

Here let the great Redeemer reign,

With all the graces of his train;

While power divine his word attends,

To conquer foes, and cheer his friends.

And in the great decisive day,

When God the nations shall survey,

May it before the world appear

That souls were born to glory here.
