Within thy house, O Lord, our God,

In glory now appear;

Make this a place of thine abode,

And shed thy blessings here.

2 When we thy mercy-seat surround,

Thy Spirit, Lord, impart;

And let thy gospel’s joyful sound,

With power, reach every heart.

3 Here let the blind their sight obtain;

Here give the mourners rest;

Let Jesus here triumphant reign,

Enthroned in every breast.

4 Here let the voice of sacred joy

And humble prayer arise,

Till higher strains our tongues employ

In realms beyond the skies.
