Hymn 693 – WE lay down this foundation, Lord | C&S English Hymnary

1. WE lay down this foundation, Lord In Thy name, Our Lord Jesus Christ We beseech Thee our Saviour, dear Keep this holy place in Thy care. 2. And when Thy face Thy people seek And sinners seek Thee in this house Hear, Almighty from heav’n above O Lord our God, in Thy great name. 3. When Thy ministers preach the Word The gospel of Jesus Thy Son Almighty God, in Thy great name Wrought our 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 their chorus rend. 5. Jehovah will Thou with us dwell In this our wicked, sinful world Christ Jesus will Thou be our King Will I here rest find Holy Ghost. 6. May Thy glory never depart From this house, beautifully laid Make Thy kingdom within our hearts And establish thy throne within AMEN
