To Thy temple I
repair;
Lord, I love to
worship there
When within the veil
I meet
Christ before the
mercy seat.
I
through Him am
reconciled,
I through Him become
Thy child.
Abba, Father, give
me grace
In Thy courts to
seek Thy face.
While Thy
glorious praise is
sung,
Touch my lips,
unloose my tongue,
That my joyful soul
may bless
Christ the Lord, my
Righteousness.
While the prayers
of saints ascend,
God of Love, to mine
attend.
Hear me, for Thy
Spirit pleads;
Hear, for Jesus
intercedes.
While I hearken
to Thy law,
Fill my soul with
humble awe
Till Thy Gospel
bring to me
Life and
immortality.
While Thy
ministers proclaim
Peace and pardon in
Thy Name,
Through their voice,
by faith, may I
Hear Thee speaking
from the sky.
From Thy house
when I return,
May my heart within
me burn,
And at evening let
me say,
“I have walked with
God today.”
