  1. We lay down this foundation, Lord
    In Thy name, Our Lord Jesus Christ
    We beseech Thee our dear Saviour
    Keep this holy place in Thy care.

  2. And when these Thy people seek Thee
    And sinner seek Thee in this house
    Hear, Almighty from heav'n above
    O Lord our God, forgive their sins.

  3. When Thy ministers preach the Word
    The gospel of Jesus Thy Son,
    Almighty God, in Thy great name
    Wrought Thy wonderful miracles.

  4. And when the little children sing
    Their hymns of praise unto their King
    Let angels join them in His praise,
    And earth and heav'n rend their chorus.

  5. Jehovah will Thou dwell with us,
    In this our wicked, sinful world?
    Jesus Christ will Thou be our king?
    Holy Ghost will I here fing rest here?

  6. May Thy glory never depart
    From this house that we are building
    Make Thy kingdom within our hearts
    And establish thy throne within. Amen.
