We love thy house, O God, |
Wherein thine honor dwells. |
The joy of thine abode |
All earthly joy excels. |
It is the house of prayer. |
Wherein thy servants meet. |
And thou, O Lord, art there, |
Thy chosen flock to greet. |
We love the word of life, |
The word that tells of peace. |
Of comfort in the strife. |
Of joys that never cease. |
