Oh, how blessed is this place, filled with solace, light, and grace! 2 Gracious God, I come before thee; come thou also unto me; where we find thee and adore thee, there a heav'n on earth must be. To my heart, oh, enter thou, let it be thy temple now! 3 Here thy praise is gladly chanted, here thy seed is duly sown; let my soul, where it is planted, bring forth precious sheaves alone, so that all I hear may be fruitful unto life in me. 4 Thou my faith increase and quicken, let me keep thy gift divine; howsoe'er temptations thicken, may thy word still o'er me shine as my guiding star through life, as my comfort in all strife. 5 Speak, O God, and I will hear thee, let thy will be done indeed; may I undisturbed draw near thee while thou dost thy people feed. Here of life the fountain flows; here is balm for all our woes. Topics: Dedication, Anniversary; Gathering; Dedication, Anniversary; Gathering; Word of God Used With Tune: UNSER HERRSCHER

Ground we hold, whereon of old, Fought the faithful and the bold. 3 Fighting, we shall be victorious By the Blood of Christ our Lord; On our foreheads, bright and glorious, Shines the witness of His Word; Spear and shield on battlefield, His great name; we cannot yield. 4 When His servants stand before Him, Each receiving his reward,-- When His saints in light adore Him, Giving glory to the Lord,-- "Victory!" our song shall be, Like the thunder of the sea. Amen. Used With Tune: NEANDER
