A hymn written by James Montgomery | |
---|---|
(1) To Thy temple I repair;Lord, I love to worship there; When within the veil I meet Christ upon the mercy-seat. |
(2) While Thy glorious praise is sung,Touch my lips, unloose my tongue, That my joyful soul may bless Christ the Lord, my righteousness. |
(3) While the prayers of saints ascend,God of love! To mine attend; Hear me, for Thy Spirit pleads: Hear, for Jesus intercedes. |
(4) While I hearken to Thy law,Fill my soul with humble awe; Till Thy Gospel bring to me Life and immortality. |
(5) While Thy ministers proclaimPeace and pardon in Thy name, Through their voice, by faith, may I Hear Thee speaking from on high. |
(6) From Thy house when I return,May my heart within me burn; And at evening let me say, "I have walked with God to-day!" |
