This House of God

Gathered, this house of God we dedicate,

Renew the offering that called us here,

Our life, our love, ourselves to consecrate

That we may draw the eternal Presence near.

To fashion of this being made of clay,

This soul within the earthly flesh to grow

Aware at every moment that the way

Of transformation is through Her, to go

With lightened hearts, strengthened wills serene,

Silent with a faith unmoved through all

To become the future She alone has seen

Her children join, responding to the Call.
