Lyics

With sacred joy we lift our eyes

To those bright realms above,

That glorious temple in the skies,

Where dwells eternal Love.



Before the gracious throne we bow

Of heaven's almighty King;

Here we present the solemn vow,

And hymns of praise we sing.



O Lord, while in thy house we kneel,

With trust and holy fear,

Thy mercy and thy truth reveal,

And lend a gracious ear.



With fervor teach our hearts to pray,

And tune our lips to sing;

Nor from thy presence cast away

The sacrifice we bring.
