GRACIOUS AND MIGHTY GOD Gracious and mighty God, Shield what our hands have wrought! Bless Thou the house which we have here erected! Save it from storm and flame, . Evils of every name, Let by Thy Fatherhand it stand protected. We laid foundation here, Facing defeat and fear, But Thou hast built the house and Thou didst cheer us Now as it stands complete, T We kneel before Thy feet, Whom Thou art near is safe, so be Thou near us! Let us before Thy face Walk here in truth and grace, And lead us on to grand and noble visions! Teach us the highest art, Wisdom that warms the heart! Give richer life to youth with true ambitions! Bless those who sow the grain Here for eternal gain! Shed on young hearts the light of inspiration, That all good seed strike root, Grow up and bear much fruit Worthy of Thee, our homes, our church, our nation. Kr. Ostergaard 10
