To Thy temple holy,
come we now with
praise;
Thou, the meek and
lowly, guide us to Thy
ways;
To Thy courts
ascending, though
unworthy we;
Let our worship,
blending, swell Thy
harmony.
Not with
ostentation, not with
proud acclaim,
Come we, Lord and
Master, to extol Thy
Name;
But with Christly
spirit, humble and
sincere,
Pleading but Thy
merit, we Thy Name
revere.
For Thy Holy Spirit
earnestly we plead,
Visit us, bestowing
grace for all our
need,
Sanctify our worship
to Thy glory, Lord;
Grant us spirits eager
to receive Thy Word.
To Thy temple holy,
come we now with
praise;
Thou, the meek and
lowly, guide us to Thy
ways;
So shall we, renewing
every solemn vow,
Live for larger
service if Thou bless
us now.
