O Father, Take the New-Built Shrine

O Fa­ther

take the new-built shrine;

The house our hands have reared is Thine;

Greet us with wel­come when we come

And make our Fa­ther’s house our home.

Blest with Thy Spir­it while we stay

May we Thy Spir­it bear away

That ev­ery heart a shrine may be

And ev­ery home a home for Thee.
