Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: Celebrating Grace Hymnal #535 (2010) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Hymnal Title: Celebrating Grace Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Here within this house of prayer
all our Father's love declare;
love that gave us birth and planned
days and years beneath His hand:
praise to God whose love and power
bring us to this present hour!
2 Here, till earthly praises end,
tell of Christ the sinner's friend;
Christ whose blood for us was shed,
Lamb of God and living bread,
life divine and truth and way,
light of everlasting day.
3 Here may all our faint desire
feel the Spirit's wind and fire
souls that sleep the sleep of death
stir to life beneath His breath:
may His power upon us poured
send us out to serve the Lord!
4 Here may faith and love increase,
flowing forth in joy and peace
from the Father, Spirit, Son,
undivided, Three in One:
His the glory all our days
in this house of prayer and praise!
