Great God, A Blessing From Your Throne

Great God, a blessing from Your throne

Grant us who lay this cornerstone,

To build a church in which Your Word

Is purely taught and gladly heard.

The work is Yours and not our own;

Oh, come, and make Your presence known;

Our prayers accept, our off'ring bless,

Our labors crown with due success.

We are the people of Your choice,

And while we in this grace rejoice,

Our prayer is this, our constant care,

That others too our bliss may share.

Lord, here erect a blessèd home

Where Christ will ever bid us come,

From Him receiving grace for grace

Till we behold You face to face.
