The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#942

942. O God, in whom alone is found

1 O God, in whom alone is found
The strength by which all toil is blest,
Upon this consecrated ground
Now bid thy cloud of glory rest.

2 In thy great name we place this stone;
To thy great truth these walls we rear;
Long may they make thy glory known,
And long our Saviour triumph here.

3 And while thy sons, from earth apart,
Here seek the truth from Heaven that sprung,
Fill with thy Spirit every heart,
With living fire touch every tongue.

4 Lord, grant our souls thy peace and love;
Let sin and error pass away,
Till truth’s full influence from above
Rejoice the earth with cloudless day.
