TO Thy temple I repair; Lord, I love to worship there, When within the veil I meet Christ before the mercy-seat. |
|||
2 | While Thy glorious praise is sung, Touch my lips, unloose my tongue, That my joyful soul may bless Christ the Lord, my righteousness. |
||
3 | While the prayers of saints ascend, God of love, to mine attend; Hear me, for Thy Spirit pleads; Hear, for Jesus intercedes. |
||
4 | While I hearken to Thy law, Fill my soul with humble awe, Till Thy Gospel bring to me Life and immortality. |
||
5 | While Thy ministers proclaim Peace and pardon in Thy name, Through their word, by faith, may I Hear Thee speaking from on high. |
||
6 | From Thy house when I return, May my heart within me burn; And at evening let me say, I have walked with God today. |
