12983. Within Thy Courts

1 Within Thy courts, O Lord,
We sing in hallowed lays
The wonders of Thy majesty,
The glory of Thy praise.

Refrain:
Within Thy courts, O Lord of Hosts,
We sing the goodness of Thy grace,
And praise Thy wondrous love.

2 The high and lofty heav’ns
Are Thine eternal place,
But every lowly, contrite heart,
Thou visitest with grace. [Refrain]

3 Thy kingdom is within
The life that lives for Thee;
Thy temple is within the heart
That’s kept in purity. [Refrain]
