O merciful and holy

Author: H. Montagu Butler (1833-1918)

Oh merciful and Holy
Who still by steps unknown,
In simple hearts and lowly
Dost build Thy loftiest throne;
As Thou of old wast near us,
To bless our founders’ care,
Bow down Thine ear and hear us
In this Thy house of prayer.

For faith and hope and daring
To do our Father’s will,
And patience and forbearing,
Tried good and vanquished ill:
Sweet praise of our dear mother,
And, sweeter far than fame,
The loves that binds each brother –
We glorify Thy name.

For memory’s golden treasure,
For hearts uplifted now,
Each pure and blameless pleasure,
Each brave and holy vow;
And friends still clinging nearer
As sorrows cross our way,
And some by death made dearer –
We thank Thee, Lord, today.

Whate’er Thy will shall send us,
If weal all woe betide,
Do Thou, our God, defend us
Fast anchored at Thy side.
Here firm, though all be drifting,
May thousands still adore,
Eye, heart and voice uplifting
Till time shall be no more.
