LyicsCOME to the house of prayer,
O thou afflicted, come:
The God of peace shall meet thee there;
He makes that house his home.
Come to the house of praise,
Ye who are happy now;
In sweet accord your voices raise,
In kindred homage bow.
Thou, whose benignant eye
In mercy looks on all-
Who seest the tear of misery,
And hear'st the mourner's call-
Up to thy dwelling-place
Bear our frail spirits on,
Till they outstrip time's tardy pace,
And heaven on earth be won.
