Endue the creatures with Thy grace,
That shall adorn Thy dwelling-place;
The beauty of the oak and pine,

The gold and silver, make them Thine.

To Thee they all pertain; to Thee
The treasures of the earth and sea;
And when we bring them to Thy throne,
We but present Thee with Thine own.

The heads that guide endue with skill,
The hands that work preserve from ill,
That we, who these foundations lay,
May raise the topstone in its day.

Both now and ever, LORD, protect
The temple of thine own elect;

Be Thou in them, and they in Thee,
O ever blessed TRINITY! Amen.
