Lyics

TO THY temple we repair-

Lord, we love to worship there,

When within the vail we meet

Thee upon the mercy-seat.



While thy glorious name is sung,

Tune our lips, unloose our tongue:

Then our joyful souls shall bless

Thee, the Lord our righteousness.



While to thee our prayers ascend,

Let thine ear in love attend;

Hear us, for thy Spirit pleads-

Hear, for Jesus intercedes.



From thy house when we return,

Let our hearts within us burn,

That at evening we may say:

"We have walked with God to-day."
