Hymn 730
In Thy great name, God Almighty
- mf In Thy great name, God Almighty
We build this house of praise for Thee;
Choose it for Thy special abode
And keep it safe from all error.
- mp When Thy people shall seek Thee here
And sinners seek and plead for life;
Hear us from Thy dwelling on high
And when Thou shall hear, do forgive.
- mf When Thy servant shall preach the word
The gospel of Jesus Christ here,
By the power in Thy great name
May signs and wonders be perform'd.
- When infant voices sing their songs,
Hossana to their king on high.
May earth and heav'n join the refrain
And all angels sing Hossana.
- mf May The glory never depart
Yet, keep Thy presence in this house;
Thy kingdom come to every heart
Until Thou be enthroned on earth.
