All things are thine; no gift have we, Lord of all gifts, to offer thee; And hence with grateful hearts today Thine own before thy feet we lay. | Thy will was in the builders' thought; Thy hand unseen amidst us wrought; Through mortal motive, scheme, and plan, Thy wise eternal purpose ran. | In weakness and in want we call On thee for whom the heavens are small; Thy glory is thy children's good, Thy joy thy tender Fatherhood. | O Father, deign these walls to bless; Fill with thy love their emptiness; And let their door a gateway be To lead us from ourselves to thee. | |
