This stone of faith, O Lord, we lay

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 84 hymnals Lyrics: 1 This stone in faith, O Lord, we lay; and build a house for You in love; to guard this sanctuary night and day look down in mercy from above. 2 Here, when Your people seek Your face, and dying sinners pray to live, hear them in heaven Your dwelling-place, And when You hear, O Lord, forgive! 3 Here, when Your messengers proclaim the blessed gospel of Your Son, still, by the power of His great name, be mighty signs and wonders done. 4 'Hosanna!' to their heavenly King, when children's voices raise that song, 'Hosanna!' let their angels sing, and heaven, with earth, the strain prolong. 5 But will the eternal Father deign, here to abide, no transient guest? Will here the world's Redeemer reign, and here the Holy Spirit rest? 6 That glory never hence depart! Yet choose not, Lord, this house alone: Your kingdom come to every heart: in all the world be Yours the throne.
