946. Thy presence and thy glories, Lord

1 Thy presence and thy glories, Lord,
Fill all the realms of space;
O come, and at thy people’s prayer
Now consecrate this place.

2 Sacred to thine eternal name,
Behold, these walls we raise;
Let heralds here thy truth proclaim
And saints show forth thy praise.

3 Eternal Spirit, heavenly dove!
Thou author of all grace,
Come and reveal a Saviour’s love
To many in this place.

4 May thousands in the realms of day,
Who shall with Jesus reign,
Point here, and each rejoicing say:
There I was born again.
