	*The ‘shekinah’ cloud was the visible glory of God over the mercy-seat of the Temple.
	LIGHT up this house with glory, Lord;     Enter, and claim Thine own; Receive the homage of our souls,     Erect Thy temple-throne.
2	We rear no altar—Thou hast died;     We deck no priestly shrine; What need have we of creature-aid?     The power to save is Thine.
3	We ask no bright shekinah-cloud*     To glorify the place; Give, Lord, the substance of that sign—     The fulness of Thy grace.
4	No rushing mighty wind we ask,     No tongues of flame desire; Grant us the Spirit’s life and light,     His purifying fire.
5	Light up this house with glory, Lord—     The glory of that love Which forms and saves a Church below,     And makes a Heaven above.
	John Harris, 1802-56
