Yet enter in, and bless the fane Adoring hands have reared for Thee. [3* Unworthy gifts and touched with fears, And memories of our loved at rest; Draw nigh, O Lord, and dry our tears, And be Thy presence here confest.] 4 For welcome to the babe new-born, For strengthening hands on bended head, For blessings on the marriage morn, And sweet words whispered o'er the dead; 5 For food divine to souls sufficed, For words that warn, for prayers that press, Arise and enter in, O Christ! And with Thy presence all things bless. 6 So praise to Thy great Name shall rise Up from these walls, this sacred floor, Who made, Who saves, Who sanctifies, Forever and for evermore. Amen. * To be used of a memorial church Topics: Consecration of Churches Languages: English Tune Title: [Thy Temple is not made with hands]
