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 of­fer­ing 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.
