Lord God, our thanks to thee we raise
For those who built this house of praise,
Who long ago together stood
To form a Christian brotherhood.

Here have our children known thy care
And raised their thoughts to thee in pray'r;
Here have we shared the wine, the bread;
Here have our living souls been fed.

Still through the years be Thou our guide;
Keep us from enmity and pride;
Still help us choose the better part,
A humble and a thankful heart.

Be this our common enterprise;
That truth be preach'd and pray'r arise,
That each may seek the other's good
And live and love as Jesus would.

Create in us the word, the deed,
That ours may be a living creed;
And cause Thy grace in us to dwell,
Abide with us, Immanuel!
