52. To thy temple we repair

1 To Thy temple we repair--
Lord, we love to worship there,
When within the veil we meet
Thee upon the mercy-seat.

2 While to Thee our prayers ascend,
Let Thine ear in love attend;
Hear us, for Thy Spirit pleads--
Hear, for Jesus intercedes.

3 While Thy word is heard with awe,
While we tremble at thy law,
Let thy gospel's wondrous love
Every doubt and fear remove.

4 From Thy house when we return,
Let our hearts within us burn;
And at evening we may say--
"We have walked with God to-day."

Amen.
