Lyics

LORD of hosts, to thee we raise

Here a house of prayer and praise;

Thou thy people's hearts prepare

Here to meet for praise and prayer.



Let the living here be fed

With thy word, thy heavenly bread;

Here,  in hope of glory blest,

May the dead be laid to rest.



Here to thee a temple stand,

While the sea shall gird the land;

Here reveal thy mercy sure,

While the sun and moon endure.



Hallelujah!--earth and sky

To the joyful sound reply;

Hallelujah!-hence ascend

Prayer and praise till time shall end.
