See if there be some wicked way in me; cleanse me from every sin and set me free. 2 I praise thee, Lord, for cleansing me from sin; fulfill thy Word and make me pure within. Fill me with fire where once I burned with shame; grant my desire to magnify thy name. 3 Lord, take my life, and make it wholly thine; fill my poor heart with thy great love divine. Take all my will, my passion, self, and pride; I now surrender, Lord--in me abide. 4 O Holy Spirit, revival comes from thee; send a revival--start the work in me. Thy Word declares thou wilt supply our need; for blessings now, O Lord, I humbly plead. Scripture: Psalm 51:12 Used With Tune: MAORI

Built on the Rock

Author: Carl Doving; Nikolai F. S. Grundtvig Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 73 hymnals Topics: Dedication Services Of a Church First Line: Built on the Rock the Church doth stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock the Church doth stand, Even when steeples are falling; Crumbled have spires in every land, Bells still are chiming and calling; Calling the young and old to rest, But above all the soul distressed, Longing for rest everlasting. 2 Surely in temples made with hands, God, the Most High, is not dwelling, High above earth His temple stands, All earthly temples excelling; Yet He whom heavens cannot contain Chose to abide on earth with men, Built in our bodies His temple. 3 We are God's house of living stones, Builded for His habitation; He through baptismal grace us owns, Heirs of His wondrous salvation; Were we but two His name to tell, Yet He would deign with us to dwell, With all His grace and His favor. 4 Now we may gather with our King; E'en in the lowliest dwelling; Praises to Him we there may bring, His wondrous mercy forth-telling; Jesus His grace to us accords, Spirit and life are all His words, His truth doth hollow the temple. 5 Still we our earthly temples rear, That we may herald His praises; They are the homes where He draws near And little children embraces, Beautiful things in them are said, God there with us His covenant made, Making us heirs of His Kingdom. Amen. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:19 Used With Tune: BUILT ON THE ROCK

Eternal Son of God, O Thou

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Dedication of a Church Lyrics: 1 Eternal Son of God, O Thou, Before whom earth and heaven bow, Regard Thy people as they raise To Thee their songs of prayer and praise. 2 This house they dedicate to Thee, That here they may Thy glory see, Thy body and Thy blood they here Receive, their fainting souls to cheer. 3 Here in baptismal water pure They find for sins a gracious cure; Their children here to Thee they bring, O Thou our death-subduing King. 4 Here sin's diseases healing find, The weak grow strong, light cheers the blind; The troubled heart with peace is blest, And weariness finds heavenly rest. 5 When tempests shake the world around, The rock-built Church secure is found; The gates of hell may here assail Whom Christ defends, but not prevail. 6 To God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit, Three in One, Be praise: do Thou, whom we adore, Teach us to praise Thee evermore.

Scott Appears in 46 hymnals Topics: The Church Dedication Lyrics: 1 To thee this temple we devote, Our Father and our God; Accept it thine, and seal it now Thy Spirit's blest abode. 2 Here may the prayer of faith ascend, The voice of praise arise; And may each lowly service prove Accepted sacrifice. 3 Here may the sinner learn his guilt, And weep before His Lord; Here, pardoned, sing a Saviour's love, And here his vows record. 4 Peace be within these sacred walls; Prosperity be here; O smile upon thy people, Lord, And evermore be near.
