Author: Anon. Appears in 106 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Here, in thy name, Eternal God,
We build this earthly house for thee;
O choose it for thy fixed abode,
And guard it long from error free.
2 When here, O Lord, we seek thy face,
And dying sinners pray to live,
Hear thou in heaven, thy dwelling-place;
And when thou hearest, Lord, forgive.
3 When here thy messengers proclaim
The blessed gospel of thy Son,
Still, by the power of his great name,
Be mighty signs and wonders done. Topics: The Church Dedication Used With Tune: SAMSON
Here, in thy name, Eternal God
