GOD OF THE MOUNTAINS AND THE SEA.
RE-DEDICATION OF SEAMEN'S BETHEL, NOVEMBER 8, 1893.
“The abundance of the sea shall be converted unto Thee.”
God of the mountains and the sea,
Thy grateful people come to Thee,
To offer humble praise and prayer,
Thy love to own,—Thy grace to share.
Thy grateful people come to Thee,
To offer humble praise and prayer,
Thy love to own,—Thy grace to share.
Come, enter, Lord, our Bethel gates,
The temple for Thy presence waits;
Display Thy power, Thy grace make known;
In every heart erect Thy throne.
The temple for Thy presence waits;
Display Thy power, Thy grace make known;
In every heart erect Thy throne.
We dedicate the house to Thee;
Here let Thy saints Thy glory see,
Thy name to waiting souls reveal,
The contrite soothe, the wounded heal.
Here let Thy saints Thy glory see,
Thy name to waiting souls reveal,
The contrite soothe, the wounded heal.
Gather from every land and shore
Glad trophies of Thy saving power,
And own the abundance of the sea,
A rightful offering, Lord, to Thee.
Glad trophies of Thy saving power,
And own the abundance of the sea,
A rightful offering, Lord, to Thee.
