Maker of land and rolling sea,We dedicate this house to thee;And what our willing hands have done,We give to God and to the Son.

2

Come, fill this house with heavenly grace,While sinners throng the sacred place,And saints, with angel hosts above,Unite to sing redeeming love.

3

Here let the mourning soul find restUpon the loving Saviour's breast;And with the sense of sins forgiven,Each heart aspire to God and heaven.
