In Thy Name, O Holy father
"Give attention to your servants prayer and plea may your eyes be open toward this temple". 2 Chro. 6:20
In Thy Name, O Holy father
We are gathered here to-day,
In Thy Name, here, we build for Thee
Magnificent house of prayer.
With prayer we started building
Build this very house for Thee,
And today, we are rejoicing,
And do call our friends to come
The work that, is done within it
It is Thy servant fine art
But we do to Thee consecrate
That, for Thee we work with it
Thy blessing we humbly request
In whatever we shall do
According to Thy voice, we do
Let it pleases Thee, O Lord.
Let Thy house, O Holy father,
Stand as a witness for Thee,
When the pilgrims are passing by,
Let them remember Thy powr
Let Them do and also ponder,
Of Thy grace bestoweth on them;
That they might remember Thy love,
Thou, who art their Lord and God.
Let it be, a place that Thy saints
Shall receive good health and powt,
Which Thou art bestoweth on them,
All of them in time of stress.
When the sinners shall begin to plead,
Asking Thee to please pardon them,
May thou Lord, forgive and pardon,
Grant them newness of life, O Lord
Laud and honour, praise and power
And supplication, O Lord,
Be ascended from Thy house here,
And reach Thee in the highest
Let's sincere thank to Thee given
Let's join our voices to sing
Also join the choir above
To sing the sweet Anthem above.
