CHURCH DEDICATION |
GARDINER L.M. |
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.
Thy will was in the builder's thought;
Thy hand unseen amidst us wrought; Thro' mortal motive, scheme and plan, Thy wise, eternal purpose ran.
No lack Thy perfect fullness knew;
For human needs and longings grew This house of prayer- this home of rest. Here may Thy saints be often blessed.
In weakness and in want we call
On Thee, for whom the heav'ns are small; Thy glory is Thy children's good, Thy joy Thy tender Fatherhood.
O Father! deign these walls to bless;
Make this the abode of righteousness, And let these doors a gateway be To lead us from ourselves to Thee!
All things are Thine; no gift have we, |
