376- All Things Are Thine

Christian Church: Church Dedication

1

  • All things are Thine; no gift have we,
  • Lord of all gifts, to offer Thee;
  • And hence with grateful hearts today,
  • Thine own before Thy feet we lay.

2

  • Thy will was in the builder's thought;
  • Thy hand unseen amidst us wrought;
  • Thro' mortal motive, scheme and plan,
  • Thy wise, eternal purpose ran.

3

  • No lack Thy perfect fullness knew;
  • For human needs and longings grew
  • This house of prayer; this home of rest.
  • Here may Thy saints be often blessed.

4

  • In weakness and in want we call
  • On Thee, for whom the heav'ns are small;
  • Thy glory is Thy children's good,
  • Thy joy Thy tender Fatherhood.

5

  • O Father! deign these walls to bless;
  • Make this the abode of righteousness,
  • And let these doors a gateway be
  • To lead us from ourselves to Thee!
