The Lord Our God Alone Is Strong

The Lord our God alone is strong;

His hands build not for one brief day;

His won­drous works

through ag­es long

His wis­dom and His pow­er dis­play.

His mount­ains lift their so­lemn forms

To watch in si­lence o’er the land;

The roll­ing ocean

rocked with storms

Sleeps in the hol­low of His hand.

Beyond the heav­ens He sits alone

The uni­verse ob­eys His nod;

The light­ning rifts dis­close His throne

And thun­ders voice the name of God.

Thou sov­er­eign God

re­ceive this gift

Thy will­ing serv­ants of­fer Thee;

Accept the pray­ers that thou­sands lift

And let these halls Thy tem­ple be.

And let those learn

who here shall meet

True wis­dom is with rev­er­ence crowned

And sci­ence walks with hum­ble feet

To seek the God that faith hath found.
