Endue all creatures with Thy grace,
That shall adorn Thy dweling-place;
The beauty of the oak and pine,
The gold and silver, make them Thine.
The heads that guide, endue with skill,
The hands that work, preserve from i'll,
That we, who these foundations lay,
May raise the topstone in its day.
But now and ever LORD, protect
The temple of Tdine own elect;
Be Thou in them, ard they in Thee,
O eyer-blessed TRINITY Amen.
