Christ is our Corner Stone
Author: Rev. John Chandler Hymnal: HPAG1933 #472 (1950) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Christ is our Corner Stone,
On Him alone we build;
With His true saints alone
The courts of heaven are filled;
On His great love our hopes we place
Of present grace and joys above.
2 O then with hymns of praise
These hallowed courts shall ring;
Our voices we will raise
The Three in One to sing;
And thus proclaim in joyful song,
Both loud and long, that glorious Name.
3 Here, gracious God, do Thou
For evermore draw nigh;
Accept each faithful vow,
And mark each suppliant sigh;
In copious shower on all who pray,
Each holy day, Thy blessings pour.
4 Here may we gain from heaven
The grace which we implore;
And may that grace, once given,
Be with us evermore,
Until that day when all the blest
To endless rest are called away.
Amen. Topics: Special Seasons and Services Laying of a Corner Stone; Corner Stone Laying Tune Title: UNITY
Christ is our Corner Stone
O Thou, whose hand has brought us
Author: Rev. Frederick William Goadby Hymnal: HPAG1933 #473 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O Thou, whose hand hath brought us
Unto this joyful day,
Accept our glad thanksgiving,
And listen as we pray;
And may our preparation
For this day’s service be
With one accord to offer
Ourselves, O Lord, to Thee.
2 For this Thy house we praise Thee,
Reared at Thine own command,
For every generous bosom,
And every willing hand;
And now within Thy temple
Thy glory let us see,
For all its strength and beauty
Are nothing without Thee.
3 And oft as here we gather,
And hearts in worship blend,
May truth reveal its power,
And fervent prayers ascend;
Here may the busy toiler
Rise to the things above;
The young, the old, be strengthened,
And all men learn Thy love.

O Thou, whose hand has brought us
Founded on Thee, our only Lord
Author: Rev. Samuel F. Smith Hymnal: HPAG1933 #474 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Founded on Thee, our only Lord,
On Thee, the everlasting Rock,
Thy Church shall stand as stands Thy word,
Nor fear the storm, nor dread the shock.
2 For Thee our waiting spirits yearn,
For Thee this house of praise we rear;
To Thee with longing hearts we turn;
Come, fix Thy glorious presence here.
3 Come, with Thy Spirit and Thy power,
The Conqueror, once the Crucified;
Our God, our Strength, our King, our Tower,
Here plant Thy throne, and here abide.
4 Accept the work our hands have wrought;
Accept, O God, this earthly shrine;
Be Thou our Rock, our Life, our Thought,
And we, as living temples, Thine.
Amen. Topics: Special Seasons and Services Dedication Services: Church; Dedication Services Tune Title: MENDON
Founded on Thee, our only Lord
All things are Thine; no gift have we
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) Hymnal: HPAG1933 #475 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 All things are Thine; no gift have we,
Lord of all gifts, to offer Thee;
And hence with grateful hearts today,
Thine own before Thy feet we lay.
2 Thy will was in the builders' thought;
Thy hand unseen amidst us wrought;
Through mortal motive, scheme and plan,
Thy wise eternal purpose ran.
3 In weakness and in want we call
On Thee for whom the heavens are small;
Thy glory is Thy children's good,
Thy joy Thy tender Fatherhood.
4 O Father, deign these walls to bless;
Fill with Thy love their emptiness;
And let their door a gateway be
To lead us from ourselves to Thee.
Amen. Topics: Special Seasons and Services Dedication Services: Church; Dedication Services Tune Title: HERR JESU CHRIST
All things are Thine; no gift have we
Thou, whose unmeasured temple stands
Author: William Cullen Bryant Hymnal: HPAG1933 #476 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Thou, whose unmeasured temple stands,
Built over earth and sea,
Accept the walls that human hands
Have raised, O God, to Thee.
2 And let the Comforter and Friend,
Thy Holy Spirit, meet
With those who here in worship bend
Before Thy mercy seat.
3 May they who err be guided here
To find the better way;
And they who mourn, and they who fear,
Be strengthened as they pray.
4 May faith grow firm, and love grow warm,
And hallowed wishes rise,
While round these peaceful walls the storm
Of earth-born passion dies.

Thou, whose unmeasured temple stands
O Thou whose glory shone like fire
Author: George A. Warburton Hymnal: HPAG1933 #477 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Thou whose glory shone like fire,
Within the ancient Temple walls,
Grant us our heart's sincere desire:
Thy presence in these sacred halls.
2 O Thou who, homeless, wandered wide,
Through far Judea's favored land,
Make this a home for men, and guide
The steps of all with Thy strong hand.
3 O Thou who, sorrowing in the night,
Longed for the love of human friend,
Make here a spring of friendship bright
With Thy rich love that knows no end.
4 O Thou whose life and words were one,
Strong, manly, holy, and divine,
Here may our fellow men be shown
How all may live a life like Thine.

O Thou whose glory shone like fire
All nature's works His praise declare
Author: Rev. Henry Ware, Jr. Hymnal: HPAG1933 #478 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 All nature's works His praise declare,
To whom they all belong;
There is a voice in every star,
In every breeze a song.
Sweet music fills the world abroad
With strains of love and power;
The stormy sea sings praise to God,
The thunder and the shower.
2 To God the tribes of ocean cry,
And birds upon the wing;
To God the powers that dwell on high
Their tuneful tribute bring.
Like them, let man the throne surround,
With them loud chorus raise,
While instruments of loftier sound
Assist his feeble praise.
3 Great God, to Thee we consecrate
Our voices and our skill;
We bid the pealing organ wait
To speak alone Thy will.
Lord, while the music round us floats
May earth-born passions die;
O grant its rich and swelling notes
May lift our souls on high!

All nature's works His praise declare
Let children hear the mighty deeds
Author: Rev. Isaac Watts Hymnal: HPAG1933 #479 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Let children hear the mighty deeds
Which God performed of old;
Which in our younger years we saw,
And which our fathers told.
2 He bids us make His glories known,
His works of power and grace;
And we'll convey His wonders down
Through each succeeding race.
3 Our lips shall tell them to our sons,
And they again to theirs;
That generations yet unborn
May teach them to their heirs.
4 Thus shall they learn in God alone
Their hope securely stands,
That they may ne'er forget His works,
But practice His commands.

Let children hear the mighty deeds
O Thou who makest souls to shine
Author: Rev. John Armstrong (1813-1856) Hymnal: HPAG1933 #480 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Thou who makest souls to shine
With light from brighter worlds above,
Now send Thy glistening dew divine
On all who seek a Saviour's love.
2 Do Thou Thy benediction give
On all who teach, on all who learn,
That all Thy Church may holier live,
And every lamp more brightly burn.
3 Give those that teach pure hearts and wise,
Faith, hope, and love, all warmed by prayer;
Themselves first training for the skies,
They best will raise their people there.
4 O bless the shepherd, bless the sheep,
That guide and guided both be one—
One in the faithful watch they keep,
Until this hurrying life be done.
Amen. Topics: Special Seasons and Services Installations: Pastor; Installations; Teachers Tune Title: SOLOTHURN
O Thou who makest souls to shine
God of the prophets! Bless the prophets' sons
Author: Rev. Dennis Wortman Hymnal: HPAG1933 #481 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 God of the prophets! Bless the prophets' sons;
Elijah's mantle o'er Elisha cast;
Each age its solemn task may claim but once;
Make each one nobler, stronger than the last.
2 Anoint them prophets! Make their ears attent
To Thy divinest speech; their hearts awake
To human need; their lips make eloquent
To gird the right and every evil break.
3 Anoint them priests! Strong intercessors they
For pardon, and for charity and peace!
O that with them might pass the world, astray,
Into the dear Christ's life of sacrifice!
4 Make them apostles! Heralds of Thy cross,
Forth may they go to tell all realms Thy grace;
Inspired of Thee, may they count all but loss,
And stand at last with joy before Thy face.
Amen. Topics: Special Seasons and Services Installations: Pastor; Installations; Ministry, The; Ordination Services Tune Title: TOULON
